Plywood at JNPT scale — for Mumbai's chemical, pharma and engineering exporters.
JNPT (Jawaharlal Nehru Port) handles roughly half of India's containerised cargo — over 7 million TEU a year. The MMR feeds it from Tarapur's API and chemical belt, the wider Mumbai pharma corridor, Vapi-adjacent specialty chemical houses, and L&T's heavy-fabrication yards. Add Bhiwandi's warehousing belt — which absorbed 80% of MMR's H1-2025 leasing — and the Western DFC now fully connecting JNPT to Dadri, and Mumbai is shipping volume on a scale no other Indian port matches. We supply Kochi-origin plywood and crating into that market, by road or by coastal shipping.

Why source from Kochi
Packaging supply for JNPT-scale chemical, pharma and engineering exports.
Tarapur, Taloja, Patalganga and Rasayani's chemical and API plants run heavy 4-way pallets under 200L drums and IBCs. The MMR pharma corridor palletises cartons under FDA-audited finished-dose lines. Vapi-adjacent specialty chemical exporters use plywood outer cases built to the drawing their certified packer issues; we are not a UN-certified packaging manufacturer. Heavy-fabrication exporters break-bulk crate turbines and project cargo. The CFS belt at Dronagiri, Uran, Sonari and Speedy handles the consolidation. We supply Kochi-origin plywood into the MMR export market — and for full-truck-equivalent volumes, coastal shipping from Cochin Port to JNPT costs less than road; the difference is stated with the quote.

Logistics
Kochi to Mumbai — road in three days, coastal in five.
Two routes work. By road: 1,400 km on NH-66 (Kochi-Mangaluru-Goa-Mumbai), 2-3 day truck transit, ideal for time-sensitive and split loads. By coastal shipping: Cochin Port to JNPT runs as an established west-coast container corridor (Shreyas, SCI) — cheaper than road for full-truck-equivalent volumes, 4-6 day transit door-to-door. Both modes work; we will help you pick. For exports we supply ISPM-15 heat-treated, IPPC-stamped wood with phytosanitary documentation, original certificates released to verified buyers on request, and direct delivery to your nominated CFS at Dronagiri, Uran, Sonari or Speedy. Share destination port, schedule and monthly volume.
Mumbai FAQ
Common questions from Mumbai buyers
Can you ship via coastal route to JNPT?
Yes. Cochin Port to JNPT runs regular coastal container services (Shreyas, SCI) — typically cheaper than road for full-truck-equivalent volumes, 4-6 days transit. Best for non-urgent bulk plywood and pallet runs.
Can you deliver to JNPT-area CFS?
Yes — Dronagiri, Uran, Sonari, Speedy and the wider Nhava Sheva CFS belt are all regular drop points. Trucks dispatched from Kochi reach in 2-3 days; coastal containers in 4-6.
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.
