Tata-DIESL Expands Services

Tata–DIESL , the logistics arm of India’s Tata Group, is expanding its services to include project cargo logistics, Ajay Chopra, the company’s chief executive told reporters.

“With massive investment expected in the infrastructure sector such as power plants, the demand for project cargo, including over-dimensional cargo, will be huge. We would like to provide end-to-end solution for clients who want to transport their project cargo,” he said.

The company will explore the use of coastal shipping for breakbulk cargo in addition to rail and road.

Tata-DIESL aims to establish nine logistics hubs across India over the next 12 to 18 months. One will be located at Madhavaram in the northern outskirts of Chennai and another is planned for Oragadam in south of the city to serve the automotive sector, Chopra said.
