Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) is developing 15 truck terminals at its properties spread across the state, as a part of a strategic plan to significantly enhance its scope of service offerings and provide comprehensive industrial solutions. In its first phase, seven truck terminals will be set up in the next 18- 24 months. The sites identified for these are- Latur, Patalganga, Chakan, Taloja, Waluj, Talegaon and Ranjangaon.

The modern, international class Truck Terminals will be equipped with a complete range of facilities including spacious parking, warehousing, loading/unloading, boarding/lodging for drivers, AIDS counselling centres and medical facilities, public toilets, eateries, etc. Additional facilities like vehicle servicing, fuel supply and other support infrastructure services are also on the anvil.
