Tiger Logistics (India), a listed Indian international logistics company, has executed multiple large-scale renewable energy logistics projects under its dedicated vertical, TiGreen. Among these was a single project involving the movement of 2 Gigawatt (GW) worth of capital equipment for solar module manufacturing.
The ocean logistics order involved project imports from Shanghai, China, to Hazira Port in India for one of India's largest Solar PV module manufacturing company. The project entailed the end-to-end movement of over 200 containers, valued at ₹7 crore in sea freight charges, and was completed within a tight 45-day timeline.
“With shipment batch sizes of up to 200 containers executed, these projects involved the end-to-end movement of high-value capital equipment from China to India, including specialised cargo for solar module manufacturing,” reads the release.
Key routes included shipments from Qinzhou, Wuhu, Shanghai, and Ningbo to Nhava Sheva, Mundra, Hazira, and Chennai, with a cargo mix comprising Flat Rack (Over-Width & Over-Height), 40’ High Cube, 20GP, and Open Top containers. Despite challenges such as vessel space limitations, port congestion, con- tainer shortages, and stringent delivery timelines, TiGreen leveraged Tiger Logistics' strong command over the China–India trade lane, deep understanding of solar supply chains, experienced leadership in the solar sector, and extensive network of local agents and shipping line partners to ensure timely and disruption- free execution.
