## Description

Foundries, textiles and the famous Kolhapuri sandals define the economy of Kolhapur in southern Maharashtra. After years of dormancy, its airport (IATA: KLH) was revived under the UDAN scheme; IndiGo and Star Air now link it with Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru. The field is not set up for freight, with no cargo terminal and no customs clearance on site. Exporters from the region – the foundry cluster among them – route shipments through Pune (PNQ), roughly 230 km north, or Mumbai (BOM). National Highway 48 is the main road feeder for that pre-carriage leg.
