ABOUT THIS FACILITY
Sriperumbudur sits at the centre of South India's largest electronics and automotive manufacturing belt, and Astromar's facility here is notified as a Government-recognised free trade warehousing zone in chennai under the SEZ Act, 2005, subject to applicable regulations governing FTWZ operations. The site sits directly on the NH 48 corridor, 42 km from Chennai International Airport and 52 km from Chennai Port, putting component importers within reach of both gateways from a single location.
More than 200 Tier-1 electronics and auto-component suppliers operate within this belt, feeding assembly lines at Foxconn, Samsung, Dell, Hyundai, and BMW on strict just-in-time schedules. Astromar's duty-deferred storage lets these manufacturers hold imported components and sub-assemblies at the zone without paying customs duty upfront, so working capital isn't tied up in parts sitting on a shelf awaiting a production call-off.
Because a shortage on a JIT line is measured in hours rather than days, the facility runs on-site customs clearance around the clock, with the 42 km run to Chennai International Airport keeping urgent electronics and auto-parts air freight within reach for emergency replenishment. Permitted zone activities — repacking, relabelling, sorting, kitting, quality inspection, consolidation, and CKD/SKD assembly — let importers stage components exactly as the line needs them, before drawing on the full FTWZ benefit stack: zero customs duty on stored goods, GST deferral, and income tax relief on qualifying re-export profits, subject to applicable regulations.
For component-sourcing teams comparing options, Sriperumbudur combines the reach of a bonded warehouse in chennai with the deeper benefit stack of an SEZ-notified free trade warehouse zone in chennai — inventory can stay in the zone for up to 3 years, extendable to 5 years with special permission, well beyond what a standalone bonded facility allows. That mix of manufacturing-cluster proximity, expressway access, and extended storage flexibility is why component-intensive importers scaling their South India operations choose this site.

CONNECTIVITY
It means imported goods can sit in the zone without customs duty being charged until they leave it. The facility is notified under the SEZ Act, 2005, subject to applicable regulations governing FTWZ status, and inside it importers can repack, relabel, sort, kit, inspect for quality, consolidate shipments, or run CKD/SKD assembly on components without triggering duty or GST liability.
Four places: duty stays at zero while goods are in the zone, freeing up cash that would otherwise be locked in customs payments; GST is deferred in full; goods that are re-exported never attract duty at all; and profit from re-export activity is exempt from income tax for the first five years, subject to applicable regulations.
A standard bonded warehouse typically caps storage at one year and limits what you can do with goods while they're stored. Sriperumbudur's FTWZ allows storage for up to 3 years, extendable to 5 years with special permission, and permits value-addition work — repacking, relabelling, sorting, kitting, quality inspection, consolidation, and CKD/SKD assembly — that a plain bonded facility won't, on top of the tax benefits available under the SEZ Act, 2005.
Electronics and IT hardware importers feeding Foxconn, Samsung, and Dell's supplier network; automotive OEMs and Tier-1 component makers supplying Hyundai, BMW, and Renault-Nissan; pharmaceutical importers needing bonded cold-chain storage; and renewable energy equipment importers serving Tamil Nadu's wind and solar sector.
Yes — Astromar's Sriperumbudur facility functions as a dangerous goods warehouse alongside standard FTWZ services, supporting electronics, automotive, and other industries handling hazardous components.
