Six buyer profiles, one source of charcoal.
BBQ pits running 8-hour smoke sessions, shisha lounges that need ash-free hexagons, tandoor kitchens that go through 25 kg a day, foundries that buy by the truckload, RO plants that spec activated carbon to ASTM, and exporters that need full FOB docs.

How buying from WoodCharcoal.in works
Retail orders self-serve through the catalogue with COD, UPI, Razorpay and pan-India Shiprocket delivery. Wholesale (≥50 kg) moves through the wholesale inquiry form — verified once, then quoted at 5-15% tier discounts. Export ships FOB Mundra or Nhava Sheva at 1 MT MOQ with full documentation. The catalogue and the spec sheets are the same; what changes is the unit economics and the delivery format.
