North-South International Transport Corridor
PTB Group offers fully integrated multimodal logistics solutions along the North-South International Transport Corridor (NSTC) — connecting India to CIS via Iran. With direct access to sea, road, and rail transport modes, we provide seamless cargo movement through this strategic route. Our advanced terminals, customs services, and regional expertise ensure optimized transit across all corridor stages.
The North-South International Transport Corridor (NSTC) serves as a vital trade route that connects India’s western ports to CIS countries via Iran. Starting from the Port of Mumbai, cargo is shipped to Bandar Abbas, Iran’s southern port, and then transported by rail or road to northern borders, reaching Moscow through Turkmenistan, Incheh Borun, or Sarakhs. This corridor is an efficient alternative to traditional routes, reducing transit time and cost significantly.
