Chennai Exports
Coromandel Gateway
The Gateway for Premium Marine Products From the Coromandel Coast to the World. Chennai serves as India"s premier gateway for a vast array of marine products, delivering quality and diversity to over 60 countries.
The Hub for Diverse Marine Exports
Chennai, historically known as Madras, is a bustling metropolis and a critical hub for India's marine export industry. Unlike single-commodity regions, Chennai"s strength lies in its diversity. Exporters based here specialize in high-value live exports particularly mud crab and lobster which are flown out of Chennai International Airport. The region also processes and exports a massive variety of wild-caught fish from the Bay of Bengal, including premium species like grouper, pomfret, and snapper. With the Chennai Port and a concentration of MPEDA-approved processing plants, the city functions as the central trading and logistics hub for the entire Tamil Nadu coast.
