Cold Chain Logistics India —
Three Temperature Zones.
Every Cargo Type Covered.
TTI arranges cold chain logistics — also known as temperature-controlled logistics, refrigerated transport or reefer freight — across three temperature zones. TTI Shipping & Logistics is a New Delhi based logistics company coordinating cold chain transport and storage through a certified network of GDP and FSSAI compliant partners across India. Each zone requires different vehicle types, storage facilities and monitoring protocols.
+15° to +25°C
Ambient Controlled
Certain pharmaceuticals · Nutraceuticals · Cosmetics · Confectionery
+2° to +8°C
Chilled
Vaccines · Biologics · Dairy · Fresh produce · Clinical samples
-25° to -18°C
Frozen
Frozen food · Ice cream · Deep-frozen biologics · Frozen seafood
Continuous Monitoring
IoT temperature data loggers in all cold chain vehicles and storage facilities. Real-time temperature alerts if range is breached. Full temperature report on delivery.
Reefer Vehicles
Refrigerated trucks and vans for last-mile delivery. Multi-temperature capability — different zones in the same vehicle where required.
Cold Storage
Bonded and non-bonded cold storage facilities at major Indian cities. Short and long-term storage at required temperature zones with inventory management.
Regulatory Compliance
GDP — Good Distribution Practice — compliant cold chain for pharmaceutical shipments. FSSAI compliant handling for food products. Complete documentation trail.
What Cold Chain
Cargo TTI Handles
Pharmaceuticals
Temperature-sensitive medicines, API, finished formulations — GDP compliant handling throughout
Vaccines & Biologics
+2°C to +8°C strict range — continuous IoT monitoring — no temperature excursion permitted
Fresh Produce
Fruits, vegetables, flowers — chilled transport from port or airport to wholesale or retail destination
Seafood & Meat
Fresh and frozen seafood, poultry and meat — maintained at required temperature from customs clearance to delivery
Cosmetics & Nutraceuticals
Ambient-controlled transport for temperature-sensitive beauty and health products
Clinical & Lab Samples
Biological samples, diagnostic reagents and clinical trial materials — strict temperature and handling protocols
Cold chain logistics is required when:
- Your cargo is pharmaceutical or biological — Indian regulations require GDP-compliant cold chain for most prescription medicines and vaccines
- Your cargo is perishable food — fresh produce, dairy, seafood or frozen food must be maintained at specific temperatures from port to destination
- A temperature excursion would render your cargo unusable or unmarketable — the cost of spoilage far exceeds the cost of cold chain logistics
- Your importer requires a temperature report and chain of custody documentation at the point of delivery

Logistics Cost in India?
Cold chain logistics costs more than standard transport due to specialised vehicles, temperature monitoring equipment and regulatory compliance requirements. Indicative rate ranges:
| Service | Temperature Zone | Rate Premium vs Standard | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reefer truck transport | +2°C to +8°C (chilled) | 40–60% above standard FTL | Vaccines, pharma, dairy |
| Reefer truck transport | -18°C to -25°C (frozen) | 60–80% above standard FTL | Frozen food, deep-frozen biologics |
| Ambient controlled | +15°C to +25°C | 20–30% above standard FTL | Cosmetics, nutraceuticals |
| Cold storage — chilled | +2°C to +8°C | INR 8–15 per pallet per day | Short and long term storage |
| Cold storage — frozen | -18°C to -25°C | INR 12–20 per pallet per day | Frozen goods storage |
Rates are indicative and vary by route, volume and temperature zone. Contact TTI for a specific all-in cold chain quote.
▶ Frequently Asked QuestionsCold Chain Logistics India —
Questions Answered
What is cold chain logistics in India?
Cold chain logistics is the management of temperature-sensitive cargo throughout its journey — from origin to destination — without allowing the temperature to deviate from the required range. It includes refrigerated transport, temperature-controlled warehousing and continuous monitoring. In India it is regulated by GDP guidelines for pharmaceuticals and FSSAI regulations for food products.
Which products require cold chain logistics in India?
Pharmaceutical products — vaccines, biologics, temperature-sensitive medicines — require +2°C to +8°C cold chain. Fresh produce, dairy products and seafood require chilled transport. Frozen food, ice cream and deep-frozen biologics require -18°C to -25°C frozen chain. BIS and CDSCO regulations mandate cold chain for many regulated pharmaceutical imports.
What is GDP compliance for pharmaceutical cold chain in India?
GDP — Good Distribution Practice — is the standard for pharmaceutical cold chain logistics in India, mandated by CDSCO. It requires qualified refrigerated vehicles, validated temperature monitoring, trained personnel and complete documentation of the temperature record throughout the journey. TTI's cold chain partners are GDP compliant and regularly audited.
How does TTI monitor temperature during cold chain transit?
TTI uses IoT temperature data loggers placed inside refrigerated vehicles and storage units — recording temperature continuously throughout transit. Real-time alerts are generated if temperature deviates from the agreed range. A complete temperature report with timestamps is provided on delivery as part of the cold chain documentation package.
Does TTI handle cold chain customs clearance at Indian airports and ports?
Yes. TTI coordinates priority customs clearance for cold chain shipments at Delhi IGI, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai airports — and at JNPT Mumbai and Chennai seaports. Cold chain cargo is prioritised for fast clearance to prevent temperature excursion during the port or airport dwell time. Reefer vehicles are on standby for immediate pickup after customs Out-of-Charge.
TTI Partner Network: TTI arranges cold chain logistics through a certified network of temperature-controlled transport and storage partners operating to GDP and FSSAI standards across India. All cold chain partners are audited annually and carry the required licences for handling pharmaceutical and food-grade cargo.
