Shipping Information
Exporter details revealed after verified importer registration
Red chilli powder is ground from dried Capsicum annuum sourced from India's established chilli-growing belts, Guntur and Khammam in Andhra Pradesh for balanced color and heat, Byadgi in Karnataka for maximum red pigment with low pungency, and Teja farms in Telangana for extreme heat, then processed, blended, and packed at Mahuva, Gujarat. Mahuva has developed real spice processing infrastructure alongside its dehydrated vegetable industry, with an established base of manufacturers handling cleaning, grinding, and export packing, and container movements running through Mundra Port and Nhava Sheva (JNPT). India accounts for over 36% of global chilli production, and for food processors, sauce manufacturers, and spice blenders internationally, sourcing through Mahuva means access to a specific ASTA and SHU profile matched to your application, backed by full food safety documentation.

ASTA color value measures red pigment intensity, while SHU measures capsaicin-driven heat, and these are separate compounds that don't correlate directly with each other. Byadgi chilli delivers very high ASTA color (100-120) with comparatively low heat, making it the standard choice for buyers who need vivid red color in a finished product without significant spiciness, sauces, oleoresin extraction, and visual-forward seasoning blends. Assuming darker powder automatically means hotter powder is a common mistake buyers should avoid when specifying an order.
Guntur and Khammam chilli offers a balanced medium-ASTA, medium-SHU profile suited to general-purpose seasoning and curry powder blends where neither extreme color nor extreme heat is the priority. Teja chilli, grown in Telangana, delivers extreme pungency for buyers formulating hot sauces or high-heat snack coatings specifically. Confirm both your target ASTA and SHU range with your supplier before ordering, rather than requesting "red chilli powder" generically and hoping the default variety fits your application.
Mahuva has built genuine spice processing infrastructure alongside its established dehydrated vegetable industry, with manufacturers there handling the cleaning, grinding, and quality testing that turns raw chilli from India's growing belts into export-ready powder. Container access through Mundra Port and Nhava Sheva (JNPT) supports efficient export logistics, and the region's food safety testing standards, including Sudan dye and aflatoxin screening, give international buyers the documentation needed for compliant import.
Standard export bags for bulk B2B supply. Custom packaging, private label, and retail formats available on request for buyers building their own spice line.
MOQ: Confirm current minimum order quantity directly, as this varies based on variety selection, ASTA/SHU specification, and packaging format.
HS Code: 0904.22 for crushed or ground chilli, confirm exact classification with your customs broker for your specific destination country's import requirements.
Mode of Shipment: Standard sea container, no reefer required given the dehydrated, shelf-stable nature of the product, shipped via Mundra or Nhava Sheva (JNPT) port.
Lead Time: Confirm current production and shipping lead time based on order volume and variety availability.
FSSAI license, HACCP certified processing, APEDA registration, Spices Board of India registration, Certificate of Analysis (ASTA color, SHU, moisture, Sudan dye, Aflatoxin testing) per batch, Certificate of Origin, Halal and Kosher certification available on request.
Not necessarily. ASTA color value and SHU heat level measure two different things, red pigment intensity and capsaicin-driven pungency, and they don't automatically correlate. Byadgi chilli, for example, has very high ASTA color but comparatively low heat. Specify both values separately when ordering.
