Reefers, or Refrigerated containers facilitate the movement of cargo that requires a strict temperature controlled environment. Running of Reefer services requires a certain degree of Infrastructure development at the handling terminals, and CONCOR has made such facilities available at its Flagship terminal, i.e. ICD Tughlakabad.

The Reefer containers are moved from the terminal to the factories for stuffing on special trailers, on which a "clip on" generator can be attached to supply power to the Reefer units. On return to the ICD, they are stacked at a nominated location with special facilities for plugging in the containers to uninterrupted power sources, and regular temperature monitoring.

The reefer containers are moved on High Speed "BLCA" wagons between ICD Tughlakabad and JNPT/NSICT ports in Mumbai. The power to the units while on run is provided from specially designed power packs which are fitted in modified 40 ft containers, and loaded on the trains. Each power pack serves 12 FEUs, and as many as 3 packs, with 36 FEUs have been moved by CONCOR in a single train.

While at present this facility is only offered between ICD TKD and JNPT/NSICT, there are long term plans to explore the option of using reefers in the domestic traffic arena, and also to offer these services from other terminals subject to materialization of adequate traffic levels.
