The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on the transportation sector. During the initial stage of the pandemic, lockdowns were imposed in various parts of the world as part of the efforts to arrest the spread of coronavirus. Moreover, manufacturing facilities were forced to temporarily shut down. This caused disarray in the demand and supply of containers across various ports. Cargo container-loaded ships that were already routed out from the Asia Pacific dropped off several loaded containers in ports across North America and Europe. However, owing to pandemic restrictions, the containers could not return to their origin and were stuck in ports and inland rail depots. As a result, the shortage of containers in the Asia Pacific led to a hike in their prices, in turn encouraging domestic manufacturers in India to develop new containers

In an attempt to reduce dependency on China for container requirements, the Container Corporation of India (CONCOR) has selected ten strategic locations for the production of containers on a pilot basis. A major growth aspect for both international and domestic businesses will involve optimizing the internal logistics chains within the organization. This opportunity is expected to fulfill the demand for containers in India.
