Allcargo Terminals securing 10-year extension from JNPA for Speedy Multimodes CFS seen reflecting continued confidence in its operational capabilities

Allcargo Terminals Ltd., a leading operator in India’s largest CFS-ICD network, has received a 10 year-extension from Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) to operate the Container Freight Station (CFS) at JNPA, Nhava Sheva. This CFS operates under Speedy Multimodes, a 100% subsidiary of Allcargo Terminals. The extension underscores JNPA’s continued confidence in Allcargo Terminals’ operational capabilities and reinforces Speedy Multimodes’ role as a strategic, long-standing CFS within India’s most critical port ecosystem. Located just 5 km from JNPA, Allcargo Terminals’ Speedy Multimodes CFS is the closest to India’s largest gateway port, offering its customers significant advantages in turnaround time, operational efficiency and cost optimisation.

One of the longest-standing CFS facilities at JNPA, Speedy Multimodes is spread over 53 acres with 8.5 acres of warehousing space. The facility has a throughput capacity of 180,000 TEU and is in plans for infrastructure upgrade in partnership with JNPA, which will further enhance the handling capacity of the facility. It offers dedicated zones for special and Over-Dimensional Cargo (ODC), reinforcing its position as the preferred CFS for handling complex cargo at JNPA.

Mr Gaurav Dayal, IAS, Chairman of JNPA, emphasised the strategic importance of the partnership: “The contract extension reflects our confidence in Allcargo Terminals’ operational capabilities and its contribution to port-led logistics efficiency at JNPA. With the planned infrastructure upgrade, Speedy Multimodes CFS will be equipped to handle the steadily growing cargo volumes at JNPA with its scale, efficiency and digital-first logistics services. The extension of the contract and upgradation of the facility will contribute to JNPA’s vision to become the first Indian port to handle 10 million TEUs by 2027.”

Commenting on the extension, Mr Ashish Chandna, Chief Executive Officer, Allcargo Terminals Ltd., said: “We thank JNPA for their continued confidence in us and look forward to further strengthening our partnership. This extension reflects the trust placed in our operational capabilities and reinforces our role in supporting EXIM trade and port operations at JNPA with enhanced efficiency and reliability. Our proximity to the port enables faster turnaround times and smoother cargo movement, while the expanded operating scale positions us to effectively handle the next phase of growth in cargo volumes at JNPA and contribute to a stronger, more integrated port ecosystem”.

Allcargo Terminals also operates another facility near JNPA, where it has recently announced a significant expansion. The facility’s handling capacity has been nearly doubled from 1,90,000 TEUs to 3,60,000 TEUs annually, a move that underscores Allcargo Terminals’ growth strategy and commitment to boosting India’s EXIM trade infrastructure. This capacity expansion forms a key pillar of Allcargo Terminals’ strategic three-year plan focused on scale, digitisation and infrastructure enhancement across its national network, highlighted a communique.
