History

Vikram Logistic and Maritime Services Private Limited(VLMS) was formed in the year 1972 and subsequently incorporated as a private limited company in 1992. VLMS initially started out as a civil construction and repair company, primarily for the Indian Railways. The Company started transportation of steel for Tata Steel from 1975. The Company then diversified into handling and moving containers for the railways, a job that was continued till 1989, when the Container Coporation of India Ltd. (CONCOR) under the ministry of railways was set up. With the formation of CONCOR, an Inland Container Depot (ICD) was set up at Whitefield, in Bangalore. The yard management and handling operations at the ICD Bangalore has been the sole preserve of VLMS since inception in 1981-over a quarter century of brand loyalty built on efficiency and reliability. As a logical follow through VLMS started container transportation in 1991 from the ICD at Bangalore to Chennai port. ICD operations of CONCOR at Chennai commenced in 1990 and VLMS graduated into handling and transportation at Chennai harbour. With a modern inventory of heavy handling and transportation equipment, VLMS currently handles over 300,000 TEUs per annum. The company also took a stride forward in handling air cargo at Air Cargo complex in Chennai.
