Real-Life Case Study
Time-Critical Domestic Movement of Engineering & Automotive Components
TKPL regularly manages the domestic transportation of high-value engineering goods and automotive spare parts across India. The operation supports manufacturing plants, service centres, and distribution hubs through a strategic combination of road, rail, and priority air freight solutions. Air freight is specifically utilised for AOG (Aircraft on Ground) and emergency automotive shipments requiring immediate attention. Through specialised handling, secure packaging, hub-to-hub coordination, and real-time tracking, TKPL ensures shipment integrity, visibility, and uninterrupted operational continuity.
Real-Life Case Study

TKPL successfully executed the movement of hazardous and non-hazardous chemical cargo from South Korea and China to multiple destinations across Africa. The shipment included Class 6.1 adhesive cargo from South Korea and mixed hazardous and non-hazardous chemicals, including Class 3 cargo, from China. The project required specialised handling, strict adherence to international dangerous goods regulations, and coordination across multiple jurisdictions and stakeholders. Through effective planning and compliance management, TKPL ensured safe, efficient, and timely transportation across complex trade routes.

Temperature-Controlled Perishable Cargo Movement
TKPL successfully managed the air transportation of perishable food cargo while maintaining strict temperature control and product integrity throughout transit. The shipment utilised priority airline bookings and a specialised Envirotainer (AKE Container) arranged on a contractual rental basis. Dry ice packaging was used to maintain required temperature ranges, while Duracell battery-powered monitoring systems enabled continuous temperature tracking throughout the journey. Through specialised equipment, carrier coordination, and real-time monitoring, TKPL delivered a safe and compliant cold-chain logistics solution.
Real-Life Case Study
Global Movement of Propane via ISO Tank Containers
TKPL manages the international import and export movement of propane through ISO tank containers across multiple locations in India. Due to the hazardous nature of propane (IMO Class 2.1 – Flammable Gas), each shipment requires strict compliance with IMDG regulations, pre-shipment inspections, certification checks, proper labelling, and documentation protocols. TKPL coordinates inland transportation, port handling, customs clearance, and ocean freight execution while working closely with shipping lines and terminal operators to ensure safe, compliant, and efficient transportation throughout the shipment lifecycle.
Real-Life Case Study
Generator Transformers for Europe & Africa Power Projects
TKPL successfully managed the transportation of extra-high voltage generator transformers ranging from 200 MVA to 250 MVA, manufactured in India for short-circuit testing in Europe and final deployment to power generation projects in Africa. As some of the largest, highest-value, and most technically sensitive cargoes in the power sector, the project required specialised planning, heavy-lift handling, breakbulk transportation, and meticulous coordination. Through precise execution and end-to-end project management, TKPL ensured the safe and efficient movement of these critical assets.
Real-Life Case Study
Pharmaceutical Movement from India to Poland & Ukraine
TKPL successfully managed the temperature-controlled movement of pharmaceutical products for an Indian manufacturer across multiple international corridors.

Through meticulous planning and execution, TKPL ensured safe, compliant, and seamless transportation.
