Plan around local peaks in Ahmedabad
Weather and season: Summer heat (April to June) needs temperature protection for pharma. We build buffer time into routings and switch to alternative airports when needed.
Holidays: In India, Diwali (October/November), Holi and regional festivals that differ by state can slow down customs, airlines and trucking. Book early and send documents in advance around these dates.
