Special considerations for Port Blair.

Port Blair requires air freight (Chennai/Kolkata/Delhi — Port Blair commercial flights) or sea transport (Chennai + Visakhapatnam shipping). Cold-chain to island: achievable but costly per-unit. Mainland-Port Blair specialized logistics. Inter-island ferry or small aircraft for Havelock + Neil. Tourism peak October-March. Monsoon (June-September) affects ferry + sometimes air. Commercial supply requires minimum volume commitment to justify air freight premium.
