1st Pvt. DRY PORT (ICD) in WEST BENGAL
A new HORIZON in Logistics of Eastern India
West Bengal, the hub of Eastern India and with a hinterland from nearby states like Jharkhand, Bihar, Orissa and Assam, is going through a steady process of industrial resurgence.
For this it is imperative to improve the logistics infrastructure of the region by providing good roads, freight corridors and ports for smoother operations of trade, both domestic as well as international. Towards achieving this goal, the first Inland Container Depot (Dry Port) of West Bengal is coming up at EPIP, Durgapur on National Highway NH-2 in the name of Allied ICD Services Ltd. This ICD is sanctioned by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, New Delhi. Allied ICD's proximity to NH2 and Durgapur which has a whole gamut of manufacturing industries and is well-connected by road network from Calcutta port (185 kms) and 315 kms away from Haldia, gives it a competitive advantage.
