Mumbai to Houston — Ocean Freight Schedule & Transit Time

Connecting India's busiest west-coast gateway directly to the Gulf of Mexico, this service gives U.S. importers a reliable ocean freight option for shipping from Mumbai to Houston without routing through East Coast or West Coast terminals. Three major carriers — APL, MSC, and Maersk — operate on this lane, providing reasonable schedule frequency for cargo moving between INMUN and USHOU. Transit times run approximately 45 to 50 days, reflecting the longer voyage that rounds the Cape or transits the Suez corridor before crossing to Texas. For importers supplying Gulf Coast distribution networks with South Asian goods, this direct port-to-port connection offers a practical planning baseline when evaluating ocean freight lead times.
