Why Source Direct from Indian Nonwoven Manufacturers Post-Ban
With the export ban lifted, B2B buyers in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, UAE, Kenya, Nigeria, and the EU can once again source PP spunbond, SMS, and laminated nonwoven directly from Indian mills at FOB Mundra and Nhava Sheva pricing. Direct mill sourcing removes 18-25% of distributor markup, gives transparent INCOTERM-based quotations (FOB, CIF, CFR, DAP), and locks in long-term supply contracts with quarterly price reviews against the polypropylene index. Our Agra facility ships GSM ranges 10 gsm to 150 gsm in widths up to 3.2m, with MOQ from 1 tonne for sample lots and 18-22 tonne FCL for established buyers.
Indian manufacturers compete strongly on landed cost against Chinese suppliers because of lower freight to Africa, Middle East, and South Asia, faster lead times of 12-18 days door-to-port, and India-FTA preferential duty under AIFTA, ISFTA, SAFTA, and CEPA agreements. Our export portfolio covers spunlace nonwoven fabric, hot air through bonded nonwoven, and the full nonwoven bag raw material supplier range used by global hygiene, medical, and bag-conversion OEMs. Buyers also have access to medical-grade surgical gown raw material stock, frontal tape raw material for diaper conversion, and SAP sheet raw material for absorbent core construction. We support advance payment by TT, sight LC, and usance LC up to 90 days for verified buyers under UCP 600.
