Shipping lane

Sea from Mundra or Nhava Sheva to Jebel Ali — a short lane, roughly 1 to 2 weeks in transit, plus about 2 days production for greige. Jebel Ali is also a re-export hub for the wider Gulf and East Africa.

Incoterms & payment

FOB Mundra / Nhava Sheva, or CIF Jebel Ali against a current freight quotation. Advance or LC at sight to start.

Currency

Quoted in USD; AED on request.

Who buys from here

Dubai and Sharjah uniform and workwear manufacturers, facilities-management and hospitality suppliers, bag, cover and tent converters, and textile traders serving those end users. Qualify UAE consumption vs re-export at enquiry.

Against other origins

China competes on range and price; the case for India is CEPA preference, a short shipping lane, demonstrated supply share, and small-lot flexibility with no container commitment.
