Adani Logistics in a statement said the deal comprised the acquisition of the operational inland container depot (ICD) with capacity to handle 0.5 million TEU, according to media reports.
An associated parcel of 129 acres of land provides an additional expansion path to increase capacity and cargo in near future, as more industrial corridors and logistics parks get added along these Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) routes, it noted.
