The Indian government has tripled annual spending on logistics infrastructure from $10 billion in 2003 to $30 billion in 2010, recognizing its important role in enabling economic development and urbanization. Logistics infrastructure includes facilities for transporting goods via containers by sea, rail, roads and inland waterways using techniques like containerization to improve efficiency. The government is undertaking major projects to develop this infrastructure through public-private partnerships.

2.  .
Logistics infrastructure is a critical enabler
of India's agenda for economic development
and urbanization. Recognizing its pivotal role,
the Indian government will have tripled annual
spending on logistics infrastructure over the
past seven years, from about $10 billion in
2003 to $30 billion in 2010

6.  BASED ON:
RAW MATERIAL
SIZE
USE
STEEL CONTAINERS, ALUMINIUM CONTAINERS AND
GLASS FIBRE REINFORCED PLYWOOD CONTAINERS.
NORMAL CONTAINER HEIGHT IS 8 TO 8.5 FEET
AND WIDTH IS 5 FEET
TEU(TWENTY FEET EQUIVALENT UNIT) IS USED
TO MEASURE FOR MEASURING SIZE OR
CAPACITY OF CONTAINER
1. GENERAL CARGO CONTAINER
2. THERMAL CONTAINER
3. LIQUID CARGO CONTAINER
4. GAS CONTAINER

7. 1. NAME OF THE OWNER ANY CODE OR LICENSE OR
SERIAL NUMBER
2. CONTAINER SERIAL NUMBER
3. COUNTRY OF ORIGIN AND COUNTRY CODE
4. CONTAINER TYPE
5. CONTAINER VOLUMEAND CAPACITY
6. MAXIMUM GROSS WEIGHT .

8.  MAXIMUM UTILISATION OF VESSEL
 USE OF MECHANICAL HANDLING SYSTEM FOR
LIFTING AND PLACING CONTAINERS REDUCES
LABOUR COST AND SAVE TIME
 PRODUCT ARE NOT HANDLED DIRECTLY AAS THEY
ARE STORED INSIDE THE CONTAINER.SO DAMAGE
AND THEFT IS NOT POSSIBLE
 PRODUCT IS PACKED IN UNITIZATION AND
PALLETIZED FORMAT SO REDUCES MATERIAL
HANDLING COST.

10.  CFS STANDS FOR CONTAINER FREIGHT STATION.
 ITS ALSO CALLED CONTAINER TERMINAL.
 A CONTAINER TERMINAL IS FACILITY WHERE CARGO
CONTAINER ARE TRANS SHIPPED BETWEEN DIFFERENT
TRNSPORT VEHICLES FOR ONWARDS OR FURTHER
TRANSPORTATION.
 IT IS INTEGRATED PLATFORM FOR ACTIVITIES SUCH AS
LOADING /UNLOADING,TRANSPORTING AND STUFFING
DESTUFFING OF CONTAINERS
 ITS FOR TEMPORARY STORAGE.
TRANS-SHIPPED
TRAINS TRUCKS

11.  IF ITS BY LAND VEHICLE IE FROM TRUCK TRAIN OR
VICE VERSA THAT TERMINAL IS CALLED INLAND
CONTAINER TERMINAL(ICT).
 FUNCTIONS OF CFS:-
1. USED FOR CUSTOM CLEARANCE
2. DEVELOP RELATIONS
3. REDUCE CONGESTION ON PORTS
4. INCREASE TRANSACTIONS
 LIMITATIONS:-
1. REQUIRE SPACE
2. CREATES ADDITIONAL COST
3. REQUIRE MATERIAL HANDLING EQUIPMENTS
4. REQUIRE TRAINED STAFF.

12.  ALSO CALLED AS INLAND CONTAINER
TERMINAL
 IT LOCATED NEAR THE ENTRY POINTS OF
MAJOR CITIES.
 FORMALITIES RELATED TO OCTROI, ENTRY
TAXES ETC. ARE PERFORMED NEAR THESE
ENTRY POINTS.
 IT CAN BE A ROAD TERMINAL ON THE
NATIONAL HIGHWAY OR RAIL TERMINAL AT A
MAJOR RAIL JUNCTION

13.  MARITIME TRANSPORT INVOLVES THE SHIPMENT OF
GOODS(CARGO) AND PEOPLE BY SEA AND OTHER
WATERWAYS.
 MORE THAN 80% OF WORK TRADE IS CARRIED OUT
BY SEA, CONSITUTING BY FAR MARITIME LOGISTICS
MEANS OF TRANSPORT OF GOODS.
 MARITIME LOGISTICS HAS BEEN TRADITIONALLY
REGARDED AS THE PRIMARY MEANS OF
TRANSPORTING PARTS AND FINISHED GOODS.
 IT INOVLVES PLANNING AND PERFORMANCE OF
SENDING A SHIPMENT BY SEA AND OTHER
WATERWAYS FROM POINT OF ORIGIN TO A POINT OF
DESTINATION AND THAT TOO AT A REASONABLE
COST.

15.  IT IS A FORM OF INTERMODAL FREIGHT TRANSPORT
WHERE TWO CONTAINERS ARE STACKED ON RAIL
CARS
 THE CONCEPT WAS DEVELOPED BY NORTH AMERICA
IN 1984. HOWEVER IN INDIA THE FIRST DOUBLE
STACK WAS FROM JAIPUR PIPAVAV ROUTE WHICH
BECAME OPERATIONAL IN MARCH 2006.
 THIS TECHNOLOGY,A FREIGHT TRAIN OF A GIVEN
LENGTH CAN CARRY ROUGHLY TWICE AS MANY
CONTAINERS,SHARPLY REDUCING COST PER
CONTAINER.
 AT PRESENT INDIAN RAILWAYS CARRIES AN
ESTIMATED 34 MILLION TONNES OF GOODS IN
DOUBLE STACK TRAINS.

16. Another advantage is of
double stack container is better
weight bearing capacity
utilization of a rail flat car.
Can take upto
90 tonnes
A problem with double
stacking is that it require a
higher clearance above the
tracks due to added height
of the second level of
containers

18.  A UNIT TRAIN ALSO KNOW AS BLOCK TRAIN, IS A TRAIN
IN WHICH ALL CARS CARRY THE SAME COMMODITY ARE
SHIPPED FROM THE SAME ORIGIN TO THE SAME
DESTINATION,WITHOUT BEING SPLIT UP OR STORED
ENROUTE.
 THIS SAVES TIME AN MONEY,AS WELL AS THE
HASSLE,DELAYS AND CONFUSION ASSOCIATED WITH
ASSEMBLING AND DISASSEMBLING TRAINS AT RAIL YARDS.
 IT ALSO ENABLES RAILWAYS TO COMPETE MORE
EFFECTIVELY WITH ROAD AND WATER TRANSPORT.
 THEY ARE ECONOMICAL ONLY FOR HIGH VOLUME
CUSTOMERS
 THEY ARE USUALLY USED FOR THE TRANSPORTATION OF
BULKY GOODS SUCH AS COAL,IRON, OIL,CARS ETC.

20.  CONCOR IS A PUBLIC SECTOR UNDERTAKING UNDER
MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS.
 IT WAS INCORPORATED IN 1988 AND OPERATIONS
STARTED FROM IN NOV 1989.
 INITIALLY TOOK OVER 7 ICD’S FROM INDIAN
RAILWAYS OPERATIONS, NOW PRESENTLY THEY HAVE
59 ICD’S /CFS IN INDIA.
 THE DISTANCE IN INDIA IS ALMOST 3000KM FROM
NORTH TO SOUTH TO EAST TO WEST.
 SO RAILMODE IS CHEAPEST MODE.
 WHERE THE CARGO(GOODS) ARE CONTAINERIZED
AND INCREASES ECONOMY OF TRANSPORTATION.

24.  Reduced cost due adequate avaliability of the
prouduct.
 Increase customer satisfaction by making
available in right condition and in righttime.
 Rduce wastage and reduce of expired stock.
 It is suitable to large organistaion with high
investment
 Issues with accessibility:-like storage facility is
not located near to where your stock needs to
be transported you have to arrange
refrigerator truck to transport goods which
includes extra cost.

25.  A DEDICATED FREIGHT CORRIDOR CAN BE DESCRIBED AS
A NETWORK OF RAILWAY LINES “DEDCIATED” FOR THE
MOVEMENT OF FREIGHT TRAINS
 THEY ARE SEPARATE FROM PASSENGER RAILWAY
 THEY ARE ALWAYS PROVIDED WITH HIGH VOLTAGE
OVERHEAD POWER LINE THAN THAT OF NORMAL
PASSENGER RAILWAY NETWORK,SO THAT FREIGHT
TRAINS CAN ATTAIN HIGHER SPEEDS.
 THE DEDICATED FREIGHT CORRIDOR OF INDIA IS A
CORPORATION RUN BY THE GOVT. OF INDIA.

27.  Under the Eleventh Five Year Plan of India (2007–
12), Ministry of Railways is constructing a new
Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) in two long
routes name.
 The Eastern and Western freight corridors.
 The two routes covers a total length of 3,360
kilometres (2,090 mi), with the Eastern
Dedicated Freight Corridor stretching
FROM LUDHIANA IN PUNJAB TO DANKUNI IN WEST
BENGAL AND THE WESTERN DEDICATED FREIGHT
CORRIDOR FROM JAWAHARLAL NEHRU
PORT IN MUMBAI (MAHARASHTRA)
TO DADRI IN UTTAR PRADESH.[2] UPGRADING OF
TRANSPORTATION technology, increase in
productivity and reduction in unit transportation
cost are the focus areas for the project.

31.  THIS GQ CONNECTS IMPORTANT CITIES LIKE BANGLORE,
PUNE, AHMADABAD AND SURAT ON ITS WAY.
 IT’S THE LARGEST HIGHWAY PROJECT IN INDIA. ITS TOTAL
LENGTH IS 5846 KM OF FOUR OR SIX LANE HIGHWAY.
 SAFETY FEATURES: GUARDRAILS, SHOULDERS AND HIGH
VISIBILITY SIGNS ARE USED.
 IT IS MANAGED BY NATIONAL HIGHWAY AUTHORITY OF
INDIA(NHAI).UNDER MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT AND
HIGHWAY.
 IT ESTABLISHES BETTER AND FASTER TRANSPORT
NETWORK BETWEEN MANY MAJOR CITIES AND PORT.
 IT WILL ENABLE FASTER, SMOOTHER, ECONOMICAL AND
SAFER MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE
 IT WILL ALSO REDUCE WASTAGES, DAMAGES, AND
SPOILAGE OF PERISABLE GOODS.

32.  “ANY FIXED OR

EXPERTISE.
 REDUCE OPERATIONAL COST: NO NEED TO HAVE
LABOUR IN HOUSE DIRECTLY OUTSOURCE AND
SAVE COST.
 RISK SHARING: AS SOME ACTIVITIES ARE
OUTSOURCE RISH IS SHARED AMONG BOTH THE
PARTIES.
 STAFFING LEVELS:MINIMIZES THE FLUCTUATION IN
STAFFING THAT MAY OCCUR DUE TO DEMAND
PATTERN.

39.  SAVE ON INFRASTRUCTURE AND TECHNOLOGY:
IT ELIMINATES INVESTMENT IN
INFRASTRUCTURE AND TECHNOLOGY VENDOR
