FDA-grade plywood for Hyderabad's bulk-drug, vaccine, aerospace and Pharma City exporters.
Hyderabad ships about $5.9 billion in pharma exports a year — roughly 18% of India's total — from 214 USFDA-approved facilities. Telangana supplies about 65% of India's vaccine output. The GMR Aerospace SEZ at Shamshabad hosts multiple OEM joint ventures. And Pharma City at Yadadri — 19,000 acres, the world's largest planned pharma cluster — has 150+ anchors signed for Phase 1. Hyderabad's packaging demand is specialised: FDA-traceable, cleanroom-suitable, defence-spec. We supply Kochi-origin plywood and crating into that market, 970 km by road.
Why source from Kochi
Packaging supply for Genome Valley, Pharma City and the GMR Aerospace SEZ.
Hyderabad's bulk-drug and formulation exporters — concentrated around Pashamylaram, Patancheru, Jeedimetla and Bonthapally — palletise daily for FDA-audited buyers in the US, EU and Latin America. Vaccine and biotech exporters at Genome Valley need cold-chain validated low-moisture ply. GMR Aerospace SEZ tenants need custom-CAD aerospace crates with internal cradles. The defence cluster at the city's edge needs MIL-spec sealed crates with desiccant cavities. The Kongara Kalan electronics belt ships light pallets and corner-protected boxes for air cargo. ICD Sanathnagar (the South-Central zone's largest, 3,000-TEU stack, 45-wagon siding) handles stuffing onto rail for Krishnapatnam, Visakhapatnam and Chennai Port. We supply Kochi-origin plywood into that market.

Logistics
Kochi to Hyderabad — 970 km, two days on NH-544 / NH-44.
The route runs Kochi-Salem-Bengaluru-Anantapur-Kurnool-Hyderabad on NH-544 then NH-44 — about 970 km, two-day truck transit for a 32-ft trailer. Loads drop at your facility or route directly to ICD Sanathnagar (CONCOR's South-Central flagship) for stuffing onto rail to Krishnapatnam, Visakhapatnam or Chennai Port. For exporters who consolidate plywood with Kerala hardwood runners for in-house crate assembly, we ship both on one truck. For overseas cargo we supply ISPM-15 heat-treated, IPPC-stamped wood with phytosanitary documentation, and original certificates released to verified buyers on request — including USFDA-acceptable plant-quarantine documentation. Share destination port and monthly volume.

Are your ISPM-15 certificates USFDA-acceptable?
Yes. We supply USDA-APHIS-recognised IPPC heat-treatment stamps and phytosanitary certificates that satisfy USFDA, EMA and equivalent agency requirements for pharma exports. Original certificates released to verified buyers on request.
Can you supply low-moisture ply for vaccines or aerospace?
Yes. Cold-chain-validated, sub-12% moisture-content plywood is part of our standard offering for vaccine and aerospace export use. Specify moisture target — we will document it on the cert.

Yes. ICD Sanathnagar (CONCOR's South-Central zone hub, 3,000-TEU stack) is a regular drop. Trucks from Kochi reach in two days; stuffing can be timed to your rail schedule.
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.
