FACILITY DETAILS
CONNECTIVITY
A free trade warehouse zone in Mumbai is a Government-notified area where imported goods can be stored without immediate payment of customs duty. Astromar's Panvel facility is notified under the SEZ Act, 2005, making it a fully-operational FTWZ. Goods can be stored, labelled, re-exported, or cleared for domestic use without triggering customs duty or GST liabilities until release.
The Panvel facility is approximately 35 km from JNPA (Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority), India's largest container port handling about 50% of national containerized cargo. This proximity enables next-day port-to-warehouse turnaround for imports and rapid container drawback to minimize detention and demurrage charges.
Panvel is optimised for: automotive OEMs and Tier-1 component suppliers serving Pune and Nashik plants; electronics and IT hardware importers; FMCG and consumer goods companies serving Western India distribution; chemicals and pharma importers; project cargo operators handling heavy machinery and capital equipment.
A standard bonded warehouse in Mumbai allows duty-deferred storage but is restricted in scope — typically 1-year storage limits and limited permitted activities. An FTWZ like Panvel offers unlimited storage tenure, broader permitted activities including manufacturing and value addition, and stronger tax benefits under the SEZ Act, 2005.
