The nomination of Allcargo Logistics’ Chennai CFS for 24X7 export activity by the Indian Customs is a matter of pride and honour for the company. It bolsters the company’s initiatives to boost the cargo volumes of the Chennai port and deliver enhanced value propositions to customers through value-added services.
