New Product Development

Find a supplier in India who can manufacture the product as per your need.

Whether you are looking for a new OEM supplier or developing a whole new product for your business, India – West Trade Global is here to help you find & connect with the right manufacturer/supplier. Product standards are different in every country, to find an overseas supplier who can make the product as per your country standard can prove to be a painful job, because of change in demography & language, it’s hard for importers to communicate, verify & trust a supplier/manufacturer whom they just discovered online. For businesses finding such suppliers in India, we are here to take care of your burden and ease your work.

Fees and Processing

Processing: Processing of NPD is integrated with Overarching Sourcing Package and Supplier reports. Detailed process integration is explained below.

  • NPD is a long process and is time-consuming, there are lots of follow-ups and communications that happens while approaching & finding potential suppliers.
  • It takes 2 to 3 weeks for suppliers to provide costing & product development possibilities, followed by prototype or sample development.
  • Based on the costing and prototype provided by the supplier, one supplier is finalized and further negotiation happens.
  • The final but not the end stage of NPD is contract sign-off and the start of mass production.
The whole process takes around 4 to 6 weeks (or more) from finding a supplier to the start of production. And we will be a part of the whole process.

Fees : For NPD we charge an extra $100 (with supplier reports) and $200 (with Overarching sourcing service). Payment breakdown at various stages of NPD is explained below.

  • Initial NPD & sourcing request is free until we find suppliers and product development possibility confirmation from at least 2 – 3 suppliers.
  • Once we receive confirmation from the supplier, we charge a sum of $50 as initial fees from our client to further coordinate with suppliers on product costing & negotiation.
  • For supplier reports, the remaining payment is charged after the sample/prototype is developed and the contract is signed off.
  • For Overarching sourcing service, as per the payment terms mentioned in our quotation.
Note: In any case $50 is a non-refundable fee, which we charge as initial consultation or service fees.
