Frequently asked questions
Which cities in Ontario buy ferrous castings from India?
Toronto (engineering & auto parts); Mississauga (engineering goods).
Which port serves Ontario for shipments from India?
Montreal, about 26-34 via Suez; 34-42 via Cape days at sea from Jawaharlal Nehru Port (Nhava Sheva) (estimate). Inland delivery to other cities in the state is by road on DAP terms.
Can you deliver to more than one city in Ontario?
Yes. Split deliveries from one container are possible on DAP terms through partner forwarders, priced per drop.
How does casting development work?
You share drawings. The foundry builds a pattern, casts samples, and you approve first-article or PPAP reports before production.
Grey iron or ductile iron?
Grey iron dampens vibration and machines well. Ductile (SG) iron is much stronger and tougher.
