Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option D: Uttar Pradesh. India unveiled its first indigenously manufactured EXIM-grade shipping container at the Maersk–CONCOR Inland Container Depot (ICD), Dadri, Uttar Pradesh, on 3 July 2026. EXIM (Export–Import) containers are standardized cargo containers used for intermodal transportation by sea, rail, and road. The container complies with ISO specifications and the International Convention for Safe Containers (CSC), ensuring global standards for container safety and handling. The initiative is supported by the ₹10,000 crore Container Manufacturing Promotion Scheme under the Union Budget 2026–27, targeting an annual production capacity of 7.5 lakh TEUs. A.P. Moller–Maersk became the first international shipping line to procure an EXIM shipping container manufactured in India and subsequently placed an order for 1,000 additional containers. TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit) is the internationally accepted standard unit for measuring shipping container capacity. The project aligns with the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative by promoting domestic container manufacturing and reducing dependence on imports. An Inland Container Depot (ICD) functions as a dry port, providing customs clearance and container-handling facilities away from seaports.
