Owned by Concor and Viraj Group respectively, the two Inland Container Depots are strategically located for importers in Mumbai and industries based in Gujarat.

To facilitate seamless trade, CONCOR’s ICD Mulund and ICD Tarapur (Boisar) designated as ‘Extended Port Gate’ for the evacuation of DPD boxes.
