The company is planning to acquire a firm in such a space which has terminals at critical locations. At that level, it would probably become India's only multi-modal logistics company which has its own terminals, its own rail operations and ships.
The company has consistently created value by creating low-cost capacities in capital-intensive industries in businesses largely overlooked by other corporate. Jindal SAW had recently launched its Jindal ITF (infrastructure, transportation, fabrication) subsidiary.
