The Siliguri terminal, comprising an ICD and rail-linked freight terminal, commenced its commercial operations in December 2020. It is currently operated by associate, Pristine Hindustan Infraprojects Private Limited, in which we hold 50% of the paid-up equity share capital. It is located at the Siliguri & Jalpaiguri Development Authority Tea Park in Dabgram, Siliguri Junction, on 28.50 acres of leased land. It operates two handling lines and includes 49,000 square feet of warehousing space along with a bonded yard.

It is strategically placed for domestic and international cargo movement to countries such as Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal. We intend to tap into the potential traffic to Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh, which can act as a gateway to North-East India and the bordering countries. It is placed to serve transit trade for Nepal and Bhutan, offering a closer and cost-effective export-import gateway than distant ports. It is developed to handle 97,090 TEUs with 532 ground slots for container stacking.

The key commodities handled through this terminal are domestically focused and include grey cement, white cement, tiles, sugar and dolomite powder. It benefits from the catchment area that spans across North-West Bengal, East Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and East Bihar.
