CONCOR BLC Rake --- The Indian Railways provided approx. 7200 dedicated container wagons to CONCOR for moving containers. These were supplemented over a period of time by certain over-age rolling stock modified for container carriage. These wagons, however were technologically dated, and unable to provide the kind of transits and reliability that state-of-the-art inter-modal services required. CONCOR therefore initiated procurement action for state-of-the-art, high-speed bogie low height container flat-wagons (type BLC) in service. Over 9555 BLC wagons have been procured by CONCOR and inducted in service so far.

In the new BLC type wagons, the increased length (new rakes have 45 BLCs per train) results in an increased payload per train. These wagons are also equipped with superior characteristics such as automatic twist locks, low beds through reduced wheel diameter, slack-less draw bars etc. The wagons are designed to run at 100 km/h, and have already revolutionized train transits between hinterland terminals and Mumbai gateway terminals of JNPT/NSICT. The reduced transit and turn round enhances earning potential while the negligible en-route detachments improve service reliability.
