India is a growing market for our overseas heavy machinery shipping services. As India's infrastructure, mining, and construction sectors continue to expand, demand for imported US heavy equipment is increasing steadily.
India's Main Ports for Heavy Machinery
Nhava Sheva (Jawaharlal Nehru Port) near Mumbai is India's largest container port and the primary entry point for heavy equipment on the west coast.
Mumbai Port handles some RoRo and breakbulk cargo in addition to containers.
Chennai Port on the east coast is the primary port for heavy cargo in southern and eastern India.
Other ports including Mundra, Kolkata (Haldia), and Kandla can be used depending on the final destination within India.
Shipping Methods to India
Container Shipping (Primary Method)
Container shipping with machine dismantling is the standard method for shipping to India. We pick up from any US state, dismantle the machinery, and ship via major US ports to India. Transit times are longer than Central America but our process ensures safe delivery.
Flat-Rack Shipping
For oversized equipment that can't be dismantled into standard containers, flat rack shipping is available to India's major ports.
