Driving the Chemical Logistics in India: Safe, Sustainable & Multimodal with TCI Chemlog

Nov 27, 2025 1:39:43 PM / by Priyanka Purohit

India’s chemical and allied industries are growing at an unprecedented pace, fueled by demand from sectors such as solar energy, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, agrochemicals and the upcoming semiconductor ecosystem. As production expands, the need for safe, compliant and intelligent supply chain solutions becomes even more critical.

At TCI Chemlog, we have built a dedicated chemical logistics vertical engineered around safety, reliability, efficiency and sustainability. With decades of multimodal expertise and domain-specific capabilities, we support customers across the entire chemical value chain from bulk imports and domestic distribution to coastal multimodal movements and last-mile deliveries.

Specialized Chemical Logistics Solutions — Designed for Zero-Incident Performance

Handling chemicals is not the same as handling regular freight. Every movement requires strict operational discipline and technical know-how. TCI Chemlog offers:

  • Specialized multimodal chemical transport — coastal, train and road combinations
  • ISO tank, Flexi-bag, Tube-Tailor and liquid bulk handling
  • PESO-compliant infrastructure, trained manpower and emergency response capabilities
  • Dedicated chemical warehouses, tank cleaning facilities and scrubber-enabled fleets
  • End-to-end documentation, digital shipment visibility and control tower monitoring

Our operating philosophy is simple: integrity in packaging, integrity in handling, integrity in delivery — every single time.

Coastal Multimodal Success Story — Silane Movement for the Solar Industry

Demonstrating our strength in solar-grade and high-purity chemical logistics, TCI Chemlog recently executed the safe multimodal movement of Silane (Class 2.1) in a 20-Feet Tube Tailor container.

Execution Snapshot

  • Cargo: Silane, Class 2.1 (UN 2203)
  • Gross weight: 21.5 MT including container
  • Mode: Coastal multimodal movement
  • Shipped onboard TCI’s own vessel – TCI Anand
  • Route: Tuticorin → Kandla (coastal) and Kandla → Dholera (last mile)
  • Total coastal transit time: 4 days

Safety & Compliance Protocols

  • TREM Card assistance and real-time risk monitoring
  • Compliance with DG and PESO norms
  • Trained drivers equipped with Haz License
  • Container integrity verification & safety audits at ports

This operation was delivered as part of TCI’s expanding portfolio of hazardous chemicals for the solar sector, including bulk Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂), Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) and Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) in ISO Tank Containers.

With this milestone, TCI Chemlog is now geared to serve the Semiconductor industry as well, handling ultra-high-purity chemicals and gases with precision and safety.

Sustainability at the Core

Beyond operational excellence, TCI Chemlog strongly advocates green logistics. Coastal multimodal shipping and LNG-enabled fleets significantly reduce carbon footprint, while maintaining the highest safety standards, enabling customers to contribute to a greener value chain.
