ABOUT THIS FACILITY
Astromar's Vallur facility is a Government-notified free trade warehousing zone in chennai, operating as a fully-licensed bonded warehouse under the SEZ Act, 2005. Located in Ponneri Taluk of Tiruvallur district — at the heart of North Chennai's port and industrial corridor — the facility offers the rare advantage of access to three major ports within a 35 km radius: Kattupalli Port (Adani), Ennore (Kamarajar) Port, and Chennai Port.
The Vallur location is purpose-built for industries that depend on rapid port turnaround — bulk commodities, petrochemicals, LNG, fertilizers, coal, and industrial cargo. With Kattupalli Port just 15 km away, our facility offers the shortest port-to-warehouse transit time in Tamil Nadu, eliminating costly detention and demurrage charges that plague inland warehousing operations.
As a fully-operational customs bonded warehouse in chennai, our Vallur facility provides duty-deferred storage for imported goods, allowing businesses to defer customs duty until products are released for domestic sale or re-export. Combined with on-site customs clearance and bonded transport from gateway ports, importers benefit from working capital efficiency and streamlined compliance under the full FTWZ benefit stack.
Vallur serves North Chennai's manufacturing and energy cluster, including NTPC's thermal power station at Vallur, Chennai Petroleum Corporation, and the upcoming Sembcorp LNG terminal. As a leading free trade warehouse zone in chennai with ambient and climate-controlled storage zones, Astromar's Vallur facility delivers operational depth and regulatory flexibility unmatched in North Chennai — serving every business need for a versatile bonded warehouse in chennai under FTWZ-notified status.

FACILITY DETAILS
CONNECTIVITY
A free trade warehouse in Chennai is a customs-licensed, Government-notified facility where imported goods can be stored without immediate payment of customs duty. Astromar's Vallur facility is both an FTWZ (Free Trade Warehousing Zone) and a customs-bonded operation, giving importers the combined benefits of duty deferment and wider statutory privileges under the SEZ Act, 2005. Stored goods can be re-exported, transferred between FTWZs, or cleared for domestic use without duty until release.
Port-adjacent bonded warehouses like Vallur (15 km from Kattupalli Port) deliver three critical advantages over inland warehouses: (1) sharply reduced port detention and demurrage costs by enabling immediate container drawback; (2) faster customs clearance because customs officers operate on-site; (3) lower transport and trucking costs for high-frequency import operations. For bulk cargo and chemical importers, port-adjacent FTWZs typically save ₹3-8 lakh per shipment versus inland alternatives.
The Vallur facility handles a wide range of cargo categories under its FTWZ-notified status: containerized goods, bulk commodities (coal, iron ore, fertilizers), chemicals and petrochemicals, LNG-related equipment, automotive parts, steel and metals, and FMCG goods. The facility includes ambient, climate-controlled, and hazmat-compliant storage zones suitable for sensitive industrial cargo.
Astromar operates two strategic FTWZ facilities in the Chennai region. Sriperumbudur (Kancheepuram) serves the electronics, automotive, and high-value manufacturing belt with NH 48 corridor access — ideal for component imports and finished goods exports. Vallur (Ponneri) serves the port-side bulk cargo, chemicals, and energy sector — ideal for high-volume importers needing immediate port turnaround. Many clients use both facilities under a single FTWZ-network agreement for distributed pan-South-India operations.
