Konecranes Oyj: Indian terminal operator builds on major RTG investment with follow-on order for two Konecranes RMG cranes
An Indian container terminal operator has placed an order for two Konecranes Rail-Mounted Gantry (RMG) cranes for its new terminal in India. This follows its earlier investment in 30 Konecranes Rubber-Tired Gantry (RTG) cranes for the same location. The RMG order was booked in Q4 2025 and the cranes are scheduled to be operational by the end of Q2 2027.
The container terminal is a greenfield terminal with rail handling as part of yard operations. Its Q3 2025 investment in 30 Konecranes RTGs will lay the operating foundation for the two Konecranes RMGs, which will be used to load and unload trains moving between the terminal's coastal location and inland regions.
Each crane will be equipped with a twin-lift spreader and a rotating trolley, enabling precise container alignment during rail operations. Active Load Control (ALC) will eliminate container sway, further improving placement accuracy and supporting safe handling. The Konecranes RMGs will ensure the smooth inflow/outflow of containers on rails, synchronized with the container volumes in the stacks handled by the Konecranes RTGs.
"The terminal is creating an equipment setup that supports efficient operations across the yard and rail interface, and we are pleased with the continued trust the customer has placed in Konecranes equipment and expertise to make this a reality," says Shyam Pathak, Sales Director, Port Solutions, Konecranes.
A strong focus on customers and commitment to business growth and continuous improvement make Konecranes a material handling industry leader. This is underpinned by investments in digitalization and technology, plus our work to make material flows more efficient with solutions that support the decarbonization of the economy and advance circularity and safety.
