BENGALURU : Adani Logistics marked a significant milestone in sustainable multimodal logistics with the successful movement of the inaugural import block train for auto parts, operated in collaboration with Maersk Line for the Volvo Group, connecting Ennore Port to Adani ICD Malur.

This landmark movement represents a major step forward in strengthening a reliable, faster, and cost-effective supply chain across Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu, while reinforcing the shared commitment of Adani, Maersk, and Volvo Group towards greener logistics solutions.

Adani ICD Malur, the newest Inland Container Depot serving the Bengaluru region, is rapidly emerging as a key multimodal logistics hub in South India. With seamless rail connectivity and proximity to major industrial clusters, the ICD is redefining cargo movement efficiency while significantly reducing transit time and logistics costs.

The use of rail-based transportation for this movement has also resulted in lower carbon emissions, directly supporting sustainability goals and advancing environmentally responsible trade practices. This initiative aligns with the broader vision of promoting green logistics through enhanced rail infrastructure and multimodal integration.

The successful execution of this milestone shipment was supported by DSV – Global Transport and Logistics, acting as the first import Customs House Agent (CHA) for this movement, and Vibrant Service for transport operations.

This inaugural block train underscores the potential of collaborative logistics solutions in driving operational excellence, sustainability, and innovation. With many more such movements planned, Adani ICD Malur is firmly on track to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of sustainable logistics in India.
