Jaipur International Airport (JAI) at Sanganer, south of the city, handles domestic cargo and limited international services, mainly to the Gulf. Much of Jaipur's international air freight, especially high-value gems and jewellery, is trucked to Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) in Delhi, which offers a far wider choice of flights. Jaipur has no seaport; sea freight is handled through inland container depots in the Jaipur area and moved by rail or road to the Gujarat ports of Mundra and Pipavav or to Nhava Sheva.
NH48 connects Jaipur with Delhi to the north-east and with Ajmer, Udaipur and Gujarat to the south-west. The Western Dedicated Freight Corridor runs through Rajasthan and carries container trains towards the Gujarat ports. The industrial areas of Sitapura and Mahindra World City Jaipur are linked to the airport and highway network.

Industries in Jaipur and how we support them
Jaipur is known for cutting coloured gemstones, especially emeralds, and for jewellery manufacturing, with a gems and jewellery special economic zone at Sitapura. Handicrafts, carpets, blue pottery and block-printed textiles from Sanganer and Bagru are other typical exports, often shipped in smaller lots to retailers abroad. Ziem Logistics supports these exporters with secure air freight via DEL or JAI under our own air waybills, On-Board Courier for high-value parcels, consolidated sea freight via the Gujarat ports and customs clearance by our partner team in the Ziem network.
FCL and LCL via Mundra
Full containers are booked directly with the shipping line; for smaller volumes we use LCL consolidation services. Pre-carriage from Jaipur to Mundra, or on-carriage after arrival, is arranged by road or rail as part of the same booking.
