'''Container Corporation of India''' '''Limited''' ('''CONCOR''') is a wholly owned [[subsidiary]] of [[Indian Railways]]. Incorporated in March 1988 under the Companies Act, CONCOR commenced operations in November 1989 taking over an existing network of seven inland container depots (ICDs) from [[Indian Railways]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/transportation/railways/concor-may-launch-a-container-train-service-between-india-bangladesh/articleshow/62072805.cms|title=CONCOR may launch a container train service between India & Bangladesh|last=Mazumdar|first=Rakhi|date=2017-12-14|work=The Economic Times|access-date=2017-12-29}}</ref><br />

==History==<br />
Indian Railway's strategic initiative to containerise cargo transport put India on the [[intermodal freight transport]] map for the first time in 1966. Given India's size (almost {{Convert|3000|km}} from North to South and East to West), rail transport is often a cheaper option for all cargo over medium and long distances, especially if the cost of inter-modal transfers can be reduced. Seeing that containerised multi-modal door-to-door transport provided a solution to this problem, in 1966 Indian Railways entered the market for moving door-to-door domestic cargo in special DSO containers.<br />
<br />
Although the first [[ISO container]] in India had been handled in [[Kochi]] as early as 1973, it was not until 1981 that the first ISO container was moved inland by Indian Railways to the country's first ICD at [[Bengaluru]], also managed by the Indian Railways.<br />
<br />
Expansion of the network to seven ICDs by 1988 saw an increase in container handling capacity, while along the way a strong view emerged that there was a need to set up a separate pro-active organisation to promote and manage the growth of containerisation in [[India]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.financialexpress.com/market/container-corporation-of-india-stock-rating-is-hold-icici-securities-says-us-experience-offers-lessons/968699/|title=Container Corporation of India stock rating is Hold; ICICI Securities says US experience offers lessons|date=2017-12-11|work=The Financial Express|access-date=2017-12-29|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/concor-inks-pact-with-bmct-for-dedicated-container-trains/articleshow/62137915.cms|title=Concor inks pact with BMCT for dedicated container trains - Times of India|work=The Times of India|access-date=2017-12-29}}</ref><br />
