1. Strategic Ocean Port Connectivity: Mundra & Kandla
Nagdev Products' manufacturing facility at Deodar, Vav-Tharad district enjoys direct highway connectivity to India's two major commercial bulk and container ports on the Gulf of Kutch:
- Mundra Port (INMUN): India's major private commercial port, offering frequent direct container vessel sailings to Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and East Asia. Transit distance from plant: Well connected.
- Deendayal / Kandla Port (INIXY): Gujarat's operational bulk liquid terminal port with extensive dedicated shore tank storage and liquid pumping infrastructure for bulk vessel chartering. Well connected to plant.
Proximity to these maritime gateways eliminates inland transit delays and reduces transit freight costs compared to processors located deeper inland.
