Mumbai, Chennai, Mundra, Tuticorin, Kolkata — which gateway is right for your cargo, and how RR Brothers moves it into Russia from there.
India has several major sea gateways capable of moving cargo into Russia, and no single port is the "right" answer for every shipper. The best gateway for your shipment depends on where your cargo actually originates — western India, southern India, or the east — and on which Russian port it is ultimately headed toward: St. Petersburg, Novorossiysk, or Vladivostok.
Mumbai's Nhava Sheva (JNPT) and Mundra on the west coast connect naturally with Russia's western gateways. Chennai and Tuticorin on the east coast sit at the start of the increasingly relevant Chennai-Vladivostok Eastern Maritime Corridor. Kolkata serves the northeast, and inland industrial hubs like Bangalore and the wider state of Karnataka route their cargo overland to whichever coastal port fits best.
RR Brothers ships from all of India's major gateways as a single contractor, coordinated through our own offices in Mumbai and Coimbatore. You get one point of contact regardless of which port your cargo moves through.
