CONCOR?

Multi-Modal Logistics Company in India, our vision for CONCOR is to see the Company
not only retaining its position as the Market Leader but also to see it developing
as a major player in the other parts of the value chain and also spread its wings
in the Global Arena . The Company strives to be the first choice of its Customers
in a competitive scenario by providing value for money to its customers. Q.
What are the new avenues of growth?
Answer: CONCOR constantly taps
various avenues of growth in its core business segment through organic as well
as inorganic growth. It has set up a number of multi-modal facilities and mega
terminals like ICD at Dadri to exploit the potential of growing Containerised
Cargo Volumes both in Export-Import (EXIM) segment as well as the Domestic Segment.
The growth potential has been tapped not only through its own terminal network
but also through a number of joint ventures / strategic alliances with strategic
Partners.
The Company has made a successful foray into the Cold Chain Logistics
business through its wholly owned subsidiary Company named Fresh and Healthy Enterprises
Limited (FHEL), that has revolutionized the Cold Chain Logistics in the country.
The
other new initiatives by CONCOR are the Himalayan Terminal in Nepal, the Port
Terminals at JNPT in Mumbai and Vallarpadam ICTT in Cochin and the Air Cargo complexes
at Nasik and Bangalore.
Q. Any collaboration in the offing?
Answer:
We plan to expand our existing business, grow into new business opportunities
like Cold Chain Logistics, Auto Carrier Logistics , Multi-Modal Logistics Parks
,Air Cargo, Coastal Shipping and Main Line Shipping etc. through Joint Ventures
and Strategic Alliances.
Q. What are the services offered and will be
offered?
Answer: As a premier multi-modal logistics service provider,
CONCOR operates from Eight regions across India with a nationwide network of 59
terminals to provide efficient and reliable multi-modal logistics support for
the country's Export-Import and Domestic trade and commerce. Committed to customer
service and satisfaction, CONCOR terminals provide a wide spectrum of facilities.
Equipped with the best of men, machine and technology, CONCOR's container handling
efficiency is truly world-class.
CONCOR's terminals provide various facilities
in terms of warehousing, container parking, repair facilities and even office
complexes. As a CFS operator, CONCOR adds value to the logistics chain by offering
services such as transit warehousing for import and export cargo, bonded warehousing,
which enables importers to store cargo and ask for partial releases thereby deferring
duty payment, less than container load (LCL) consolidation and reworking of LCL
cargo at nominated hubs, and also air cargo clearance using bonded trucking.
CONCOR's
customs bonded inland container depots (ICDs) are dry ports in the hinterland
and serve the purpose of bringing all port facilities, including Customs clearance,
to the customer's doorstep.
A vital feature of services provided by CONCOR
is the provision of single-window facility for coordinating with all the different
agencies and services involved in the containerized cargo trade like -Customs,
Gateway Ports , Railways, Road haulers, Consolidators, Freight Forwarders, Customs
House Agents, Shipping Lines, etc. To achieve a high degree of customization,
it offers packages designed to provide the most cost-effective combination of
road and rail mode and provides services tailored to meet individual customer
requirements.
CONCOR also uses its terminal network for providing End-To
End Total Logistics Solutions that enable single customer to move cargo to multiple
locations at a time, with CONCOR taking care of the interim distribution and redistribution
requirements.
Focusing on customer's requirements, CONCOR offers a unique
'Bonded Warehousing' service that offers dual advantage. This service enables
the customer to store cargo and still opt for partial releases deferring duty
payment. The Door Pick up and Delivery service takes CONCOR one step closer to
achieving its primary objective of being a truly multi-modal logistics service
provider.
CONCOR has set up a comprehensive VSAT network covering 64 locations.
The web enabled system provides the customers with the access to "Track and
Trace" container status and train route details online at just on the click
of a button through its web site www.concorindia.com. With facilities like Electronic
transfers, e- payments, Electronic filing of documents, Pre- deposit accounts
and round the clock security at the terminals , the Customer friendly processes
offer a delightful experience to our Customers, thereby enhancing their confidence.
Q.
Considering the global economic scenario, how has the business fared recently?
Answer:
The recent global recession and meltdown has impacted the volumes of Containerised
Cargo handled at major ports in India. This has impacted the volumes handled by
CONCOR in the EXIM business segment , specially during the last quarter of FY'09.
However the volumes have picked up from middle of March'09 onwards and we hope
to achieve a reasonable growth during FY'10. The Domestic segment continues to
be buoyant and a double digit growth is possible this fiscal.
Inspite of
adverse impact on physical volumes, the Company has been able to maintain a positive
growth in turnover and net profits during FY'09. We hope to maintain reasonable
growth with profitability in the years to come.
Q. What kind of changes
have you implemented to face the challenges before you?
Answer: To
win over competition in road transportation from truck operators, CONCOR has introduced
the concept of "hub and spoke" operations feasible for both International
and Domestic business segments. This service takes full advantage of the rail
linkages offered by Indian Railways while at the same time offers the reach and
dependability of last mile connectivity through road services offered by CONCOR
.
The Company has remained in the forefront by providing cost effective
and quality services translating into value for money to its customers. The enhanced
customer confidence is reflected through the customer satisfaction index ( determined
by an exhaustive survey by an independent outside expert agency ) which stood
at 87.5 % for 2008 as compared to 81 % achieved during 2007. The cost management
strategies adopted by the company give it the leading edge in maintaining profitability.
Q.
Any new recruitment in the offing?
Answer: CONCOR recruits regularly
new entrants into its Managerial / Supervisory/ Workmen Cadre through open market
recruitments .
Q. What message would you like to give the investors,
the stakeholders and people connected to the organisation?
Answer:
CONCOR has, over the last twenty years, demonstrated a success story of growth
and profitability through a high degree of professionalism. CONCOR is a customer
focused, performance driven, result-oriented organization, focused on providing
value for money to its customers through its ever expanding services.
Our

(The views expressed in this column are of the contributors.
We do not owe any responsibility, whatsoever, of the views of our surfers as they
are their personal opinion) Profile of officers of post Independence
period wishy-washy ! In my service spanning nearly four decades, I have
seen CVs of top ICS and IAS officers but the profile of officers of post Independence
is somewhat insipid, dull and boring. Where are those with passion for drama,
painting, writing and cricket. Some of the top ICS Officers and IAS upto 1964
had either played for University or State but the current crop of bureaucrats
from the Northern belt have imbibed only politics and chamchagiri as their passion
and nothing else. To name a few promising bureaucrats, Deepak Dasgupta, Geetha
Krishnan, Akbar Khaleeli and Prakash Shah have donned the University colours in
cricket, Mr. S. Shanti was famous for poetry and so is the late Subbudu, a CSS
Officer of Finance Ministry for his prolific writing and unbiased criticism on
art and culture.The UPSC should go in for all-round personality rather than public
school background. It is high time that the entire selection of IAS Officers is
revamped so as to inject sporting and inspiring youngsters rather than snobs from
St. Stephens and Miranda who are always indecisive and can talk only about Mozart,
Bethoven and Rembrandt. Radhikai Remove feudalistic attitude
The problems of the country could end to a great extent end if we remove feudalistic
attitude which still prevails amongst the IAS and other group 'A' organized service
officers. Their tendencies to misuse office perks and facilities like the use
of vehicles by the spouses, children etc. at government cost. If we also curb
the tendencies of the Secretariat Officers working at middle management level
to flatter the superiors and bully the juniors' it will go a long way in bringing
about justice in our society. A Srivastava A welcome step ! It
is good that the Government has decided not to raise the retirement age to 62
years. In fact they should reduce back to 58 years as it would create more employment
for new commers. D K Singh It should not be raised It should
not be raised, it should be either 33 years of service or 58 years. Give chance
to youngsters. P S Sridhar R Age should not be increased. IN
CASE OF CASH CRUNCH BORROW AND PAY. In toto, it will bew cheaper than increased
pay due to increments of two years and DA New blood is waiting for employment
since long In some cases, where required, one can be re-employed for two
years. If cash crunch continues in future, will the retirement age be 65 or 70
years ? JAI BHARAT MATA JAI MATA KI. Vinod L Country
requires new ideas, josh and motivation to wok with youth The nation
should not be burdened with old outdated babus for the sake of saving pension.
It is better to reduce pension as such social security is not available with other
organised public and private sector. For God's sake don't increase the retirement
age. R C Padhi How can govt think of raising retirement age?
There is a lot of frustration among youth for not getting jobs. They are unemployed
or under employed. Retirement age should be reduced to 58 and rectify the mistake
done 10 years ago. Vinod Reduce retirement age The retirement
age should be lowered to 58 rather than it be raised. S S Nair No
employment then ! O.K other then political people every body will retire.
No employment then. They can raise retirement age. Ranjan Rai Ashamed
of being a former IRS officer It is sad. Years of effort has resulted
in a case of much ado about nothing. The new code is the same thing with several
examples of A+B-C etc thrown in to facilitate calculation. The new code looks
like the old Act with simplification calculation, chart add-ons from Taxman's
Ready reckoner. What a cheap shot. I am ashamed of being a former IRS officer.
A retired Chief Commissioner Still, 1986-1989 batches yet to be posted
as JS IFS has always been ahead of IAS. Infact, IAAS is also ahead of
IAS. There are still many IAS officers in GOI belonging to 1986-1989 batches who
are yet to be posted as JS. Shrimat They by-pass rules top please bigwigs
! The bigwigs force the authorities to allot the plots. How to do is left
to the authorities. Under pressure to save their job they bye pass the rules and
please the bigwigs. When the allotments become scandal the officers are booked.
Nothing happens to the bigwigs. The only loss to them is that may not get the
plot. No loss because in any case they were not getting the plots. Therefore a
system has to be developed to punish those who by exercising their extra constitutional
authority force the officers to commit illegalities for them. Ashok Shrivastava
