How we can support your export needs in India
Key Ports of Loading
DGL operates extensively through India’s major ports, ensuring smooth and timely shipment of your cargo:
- Mundra Port: A vital hub for stone and construction materials, offering modern facilities and access to key global trade routes.
- Chennai Port: Strategically positioned to serve Southeast Asian and Oceanian markets, ideal for exporters targeting this region.
- Tuticorin Port: Convenient for southern manufacturing zones, well-equipped for handling specialised and bulk cargo.
DGL’s port teams ensure efficient handling, documentation, and customs clearance, minimising delays and optimising costs.
Core Manufacturing Hubs and Inland Connectivity
India’s vast manufacturing landscape produces a wide array of construction and decorative products, and DGL is deeply embedded in these regions:
- Kota: Known for premium limestone and sandstone, Kota is a primary source for natural stone exports.
- Morbi: India’s ceramic and porcelain powerhouse, manufacturing tiles, bricks, and other high-demand construction materials.
To bridge these manufacturing hubs with export ports, DGL leverages a network of Inland Container Depots (ICDs):
- ICD Kota: Ensures seamless consolidation and movement of limestone and sandstone products.
- ICD Hyderabad: A key depot? for southern products, including granite and marble.
Our local expertise ensures efficient coordination between manufacturers, ICDs, and ports, providing a fully integrated logistics solution.
Specialised Equipment for Construction Materials
Exporting bulky, heavy, and irregularly shaped materials requires specialised equipment and precise handling:
- 20’ Containers: Ideal for standard construction materials, ensuring secure and cost-effective transport.
- 20’ Open Top Containers: Essential for oversized items like granite slabs, allowing for easier loading and unloading.
DGL’s equipment specialists ensure the right container is selected based on your cargo specifications, minimising risks and reducing handling times.
