Delhi NCR · North India
Packing plywood for NCR's autos, smartphones, handicrafts and the new DFC era.
Delhi NCR's exporters live a long way from any port — but that changed in March 2026, when the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor went fully end-to-end from Dadri to JNPT. An in-plant railway siding at IMT Manesar — India's largest auto in-plant rail terminal at 450,000 vehicles/yr — opened in June 2025, shipping double-stack to Mundra. Noida produces around 30% of the world's mobile phones. Moradabad's brass-handicraft cluster accounts for ~70% of India's brass-handicraft exports — about ₹15,000 crore a year of bespoke crating demand. We supply NCR's exporters with Kochi-origin packing-grade plywood and crating, by road or by rail container to ICD Tughlakabad or Dadri.
Why source from Kochi
Packaging supply for IMT Manesar, Greater Noida and the Moradabad export belt.
NCR's auto and component exporters at IMT Manesar, Udyog Vihar and Faridabad run high-volume repeat-spec plywood crates and pallets daily. Greater Noida's smartphone and electronics assemblers palletise cartons for FOB shipments through Mundra and JNPT. Moradabad's brass-and-metalware exporters need bespoke irregular crates with internal bracing — every order custom. NSEZ apparel and Udyog Vihar garment exporters consolidate at pallet volume. ICD Tughlakabad (India's largest, 446,000 TEU/yr), ICD Dadri (DFC-connected) and Adani Logistics Park at Patli handle the volume. We supply Kochi-origin plywood into the NCR market — by road for time-critical, by rail container to TKD or Dadri for bulk.

Logistics
Kochi to NCR — road in 4-5 days, DFC rail in about a week.
Two routes. By road: ~2,500 km on NH-44 (Kochi-Bengaluru-Hyderabad-Nagpur-Agra-Delhi), 34-36 hours of running, realistically 4-5 days door-to-door including stops and NCR last-mile traffic. By rail container: CONCOR rail from South Indian ports (Kochi origin via Tondiarpet/Bengaluru) to ICD Tughlakabad or ICD Dadri — about a week end-to-end, cost-efficient for full-container bulk. With WDFC fully end-to-end since 31 March 2026, Dadri-to-JNPT freight has compressed sharply and inbound rail timings to NCR have firmed up. For overseas cargo we supply ISPM-15 heat-treated, IPPC-stamped wood with phytosanitary documentation, and original certificates released to verified buyers on request. Share destination ICD, port and monthly volume.
Delhi NCR FAQ
Common questions from NCR buyers
Can you ship by rail container to ICD Tughlakabad or Dadri?
Yes. CONCOR rail container is the cost-efficient bulk option to NCR — about a week end-to-end. WDFC commissioning (March 2026) firmed up timings. Road remains faster for time-critical jobs (4-5 days).
Do you handle bespoke handicraft crates for Moradabad exporters?
Yes. Moradabad brass and metalware exporters need irregular, bracing-heavy plywood crates with custom internals — we build to drawing, ISPM-15 stamped, delivered to your facility or to TKD/Dadri stuffing yards.
Is the wood ISPM-15 compliant for export?
Export pallets and crates are heat-treated and IPPC-stamped to ISPM-15, with phytosanitary documentation for the destination country.
What is the minimum order?
We are a bulk supplier and quote on container or full-truck volumes. Share your monthly requirement and we will confirm terms.
Shipping out of Manesar, Noida or Moradabad?
