TMILL possesses a leased out berth at Haldia port. The company is also exploring opportunities within and outside India for new port terminals. We are also augmenting services at our terminal at Haldia (berth #12) through additional capital investments which would improve ships turnaround time further and would offer further value added services to our customers through open and covered warehousing facilities with railway connectivity. 

Big ticket government projects such as port privatization are challenging for any organization with long project gestation periods. But these challenges have not stopped the company from forging ahead. In last five years TMILL has evolved from a port services operator to an integrated logistics service provider with wide domestic network and global reach. With compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than  40% in turnover , TMILL group is spreading its wings further by  reaching new customers and geographies in steel , automobile and chemical industries as principal verticals. 

Our group company International Shipping and Logistics (ISL) headquarterd at the Jebel Ali free trade zone is involved in ship operating business and carries various dry cargoes in select routes. The company is targeting new markets, routes and commodities which would intensify its ship operating activities further. 

Our other group company TKM Global Logistics Limited offers freight forwarding solutions and operates out of India, Germany and China currently. TKM would expand further into other geographies to make its business wide spread across Europe, south East Asia and the pacific coast, USA and Latin America. To drive business growth in this area TMILL will consolidate operations in automobiles and auto components, construction equipments, steel and downstream products, telecom equipment and media, hotels and retail.  

TMILL’s growth initiatives are driven by the quality of human capital it possesses and nurtures. We are focusing on attracting and retaining a quality talent pool by offering challenging assignments and creating sense of ownership, which we feel is essential for success of our organization. TMILL leadership believes in propagating a culture of performance and aligning the workforce with its philosophy of business, results and people.
