The decision to keep the limit at 30 per cent was taken several years ago. Now, with the Railways inviting more foreign investments, the company took a call to increase the limit. The decision to increase the FII limit, while capping it at 34 per cent, was taken by the Railway Ministry and Concor board together.

Container Corporation of India was established in 1988 and works mainly in three verticals -- cargo terminal, terminal operator and warehouse operator.
