Air and sea from Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi and Mundra to Turkey, Europe and the Middle East. We manage your exports end-to-end — factory gate to final destination.
India is the world's fifth-largest economy and one of the fastest-growing export nations. Pharmaceuticals, textiles, engineering goods, IT hardware and gems move in volume from Indian ports to European buyers every month. The primary freight route from India to Europe runs via the Suez Canal — 18–25 days by sea from Mumbai or Chennai to Turkish and Mediterranean ports. From Turkey, goods continue to any European destination within 3–5 days by road.
The India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC), announced at the G20 Summit in September 2023, is designed to connect India to Europe via the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Jordan through a combined sea-rail route. When fully operational, it will offer transit times faster than the all-sea Suez route. Canxansa operates across Turkey and the Middle East — positioned along the approach corridors of this emerging trade route. Learn more about Turkey-India bilateral freight.
Express and standard air cargo from Mumbai (BOM), Delhi (DEL), Chennai (MAA), Bangalore (BLR) and Hyderabad (HYD). Best for time-sensitive, high-value or small-volume shipments — pharmaceuticals, gems, electronics. Door-to-door including customs clearance.
Full container load ocean freight from JNPT Mumbai, Mundra, Chennai and Kolkata via the Suez Canal to Turkey, European ports and the Middle East. 20' and 40' ISO containers. Most cost-effective for large-volume consignments from Indian factories and exporters.
Less-than-container-load consolidation for smaller shipments from India. We combine your cargo with other exporters' freight in the same container, reducing costs significantly. Ideal for Indian SME exporters who don't fill a full container. Port-to-port and door-to-door options.
Combined sea-road solutions for optimal cost-transit balance. Sea from India to a Gulf hub (UAE or Saudi Arabia), then air or road onward to Europe. Or sea to Turkey then road distribution across Europe. We design the most efficient chain for your cargo type and delivery deadline.
The primary route is sea freight via the Suez Canal: 18–25 days from JNPT Mumbai or Chennai to Turkish and Mediterranean ports, and 28–38 days to Northern European ports such as Rotterdam and Hamburg. Air freight is available from Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and Bangalore — 6–9 days to European destinations. For cost-optimised speed, multimodal solutions (sea to UAE, then air or road onward) offer a middle ground.
FCL from JNPT Mumbai or Mundra to Mersin or Istanbul takes 18–25 days via the Suez Canal, depending on the shipping line's schedule and port calls. LCL (consolidated) takes 22–30 days due to additional consolidation and de-consolidation time at origin and destination. Transit times from Chennai are similar — the port is slightly further from the Suez approach route, adding 1–2 days in some cases.
The India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) was announced at the G20 Summit in September 2023. It proposes a combined sea-rail trade route from India to Europe via the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the Mediterranean — bypassing the Suez Canal for rail portions. The corridor is still in the planning and early infrastructure phase. When operational, it will offer faster transit than all-sea Suez routing. Canxansa operates in the Middle East and Turkey and is positioned to serve this corridor once it becomes active.
Yes. We arrange pickup from your factory, warehouse or supplier anywhere in India, handle Indian export customs clearance, manage ocean or air freight, clear import customs at the destination country and deliver to the final address. One point of contact throughout — no need to coordinate multiple local agents.
Sea: JNPT Nhava Sheva (INNSA), Mundra (INMUN), Chennai (INMAA), Kolkata (INCCU), Vizag (INVTZ). Air: Mumbai (BOM), Delhi (DEL), Chennai (MAA), Bangalore (BLR), Hyderabad (HYD). We coordinate pickup from all major manufacturing zones including Surat, Tirupur, Ludhiana, Pune and the National Capital Region.
Standard export documents: commercial invoice, packing list, HS code classification, shipping bill (Indian export customs declaration), bill of lading or airway bill, and certificate of origin where preferential tariff treatment is claimed at destination. Pharmaceuticals require additional documentation — drug regulatory certificates, GMP compliance records and country-specific import approvals. We advise per product and destination.
Turkey sits at the western end of the Suez approach corridor and serves as a natural gateway into Europe. Goods arriving by sea from India at Mersin or Istanbul can continue to European destinations by road within 3–5 days. Turkey's Customs Union with the EU also creates value-add opportunities — Indian goods processed or partially manufactured in Turkey may benefit from preferential tariff treatment when entering the EU.
