Terminal to Serve Auto Belt from Mumbai to Pune

The proposed terminal will serve end to end vehicle logistics that will further include yard management, pre delivery inspection (PDI), storage, EV-charging readiness, and vessel loading. There will be a single window operating system. Once it is operative, the terminal will act as the primary export hub for companies in the Mumbai Pune belt. 

Strategic Importance of the Terminal

In the past few quarters, some of the major automobile companies including Tata Motors (passenger vehicles), Hyundai, and Honda Motors have increased the total number of vehicles manufactured and exported from India. Hence, it is a critical step in improving the overall infrastructure that facilitates export to key markets. The development is in accordance with the ambitious Make in India campaign of the GOI. 

For Motherson Group, this development will help expand their service portfolio beyond containers, chemicals, and bulk goods. This will also help in reducing the total cost of operation of OEM clients and automobile manufacturers in India.
