Nhava Sheva / Mundra / Chennai · 12-18 days transit · MOQ 100 pcs
India is one of the largest filter cartridge markets in the world, and it is not one market - it is several. Domestic RO in the north and west runs on high-TDS groundwater. The industrial belt around Ahmedabad and Surat runs textile and dyeing plants whose effluent treatment is water-intensive. Pharmaceutical manufacturing in Hyderabad and food processing elsewhere add their own specifications. A supplier who understands only one of those segments will quote the wrong cartridge for the other two.
| Segment | Water problem | Cartridge that solves it |
|---|---|---|
| Domestic and commercial RO | High TDS groundwater in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana; hardness | 5 and 10 micron PP melt blown pre-filtration; 4040 membranes |
| Textile and dyeing (Gujarat, Tamil Nadu) | High suspended solids, colour, chemical load | Wound string and PP melt blown; carbon block for colour and odour |
| Pharmaceutical (Hyderabad, Ahmedabad) | Bioburden and particulate control to USP standards | PES and PTFE membrane cartridges |
| Food and beverage processing | Clarity, chlorine removal, microbiological control | Carbon block, pleated 1-5 micron |
| Municipal and industrial water treatment | Monsoon turbidity spikes; seasonal solids load | PP melt blown 10-20 micron; wound string |
Local distribution adds a margin and, more importantly, a delay whenever you need a specification changed. If your customer needs a 222 end cap instead of DOE, or a 25 micron rating instead of 5, the question has to reach the machine. Buying from us means it does.
The honest trade-off is lead time. Sea freight is 12-18 days on top of 7-15 days production, so a factory order suits planned replenishment rather than an emergency. Plan your reorder point around the transit time rather than ordering when you run low.

| Ports served | Nhava Sheva (JNPT), Mundra, Chennai, Kolkata, Vizag |
| Transit time | Typically 12-18 days port to port from China |

Yes. We ship regularly to Nhava Sheva (JNPT), Mundra, Chennai and Kolkata, in 20ft and 40ft containers as well as LCL for smaller orders. Production runs 7-15 days after deposit and sea transit is typically 12-18 days depending on the port.
100 pieces per model for a first order, and mixed loads combining different micron ratings and lengths are fine. Many Indian importers start with a mixed trial container before committing to repeat quantities of a single model.
PP melt blown in 5 and 10 micron is the volume item, followed by carbon block for the domestic and commercial RO market and 4040 membranes for the commercial RO segment. Wound string is used heavily in textile and dyeing effluent work in Gujarat and Tamil Nadu.
Yes - 10 inch and 20 inch, 2.5 inch slim and 4.5 inch Big Blue diameters, DOE and SOE-222 end caps, in the micron ratings that the domestic and commercial RO market specifies. That is the standard configuration rather than a special one.
Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and material compliance documentation - FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 for food-contact grades and NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 documentation where applicable. Your customs broker will confirm the duty and IGST that apply to your HS classification.
Yes. Printed cartons, cartridge labels and instruction sheets in English are all available with a moderate minimum quantity. Send us your artwork and we will confirm the quantity and lead time.
