Move Your Cargo from Wuhu to Mundra Port
A managed China–India trade lane: factory pickup around Wuhu, export clearance, ocean freight and final delivery across Gujarat — handled by one team.
Trade Lane Overview
Wuhu → Mundra at a Glance
Wuhu is Anhui's principal Yangtze river port; boxes barge to Shanghai for the deep-sea leg to India. Mundra, on the Gulf of Kutch in Gujarat, is India's largest commercial port with deep drafts and fast rail links into North India. Apextar operates this pairing week in, week out — typical cargo includes automotive parts, materials and machinery.
Door-to-port, Wuhu and Mundra sit around 4,875 km apart by sea. Carriers serving this lane usually schedule 20–26 days port-to-port, though direct versus transhipment strings change that window.
Apextar runs this lane as a scheduled service rather than a one-off booking: consistent space allocation from Wuhu, consolidated LCL slots for smaller shipments, and a single Indian customs team handling clearance at Mundra.
Indicative port-to-port transit on this lane is around 20–26 days over roughly 4,875 km, depending on carrier, routing and season.

Timing It Right
Seasonal Considerations
Chinese New Year (typically late January to mid-February) is the one predictable disruption on this lane: factories around Wuhu close for one to two weeks and carriers cut sailings, so cargo booked in the fortnight either side of the holiday should be planned early. On the Indian side, the June–September southwest monsoon can slow port operations and inland trucking from Mundra, so it's worth building in a few extra days during those months. Demand also climbs from August to October as importers stock up for the Indian festive season, which can push rates up and tighten equipment availability.
