Tata Steel ships 960 tonne TMT bars to Tripura via Bangladesh
Tata Steel successfully completed the first multi-modal shipment of 960 tonnes of TMT bars from West Bengal's Haldia Port to Tripura's Agartala through inland waterways using the Indo-Bangladesh Protocol (IBP) route.
"The possibility of using this route to service additional, smaller-lot regions along the river is also worth exploring. The Indo-Bangladesh Protocol route is more economical as well as environmentally more responsible, Tata Steel Chief Group Shipping, Ranjan Sinha, said in a statement on Thursday, reports Times of India.
The entire transportation from flag-off to receiving material at the distributor's warehouse in Agartala was completed in 17 days, it said.
