Why this page is about books: 155 paperback items for Pondicherry

Counted as printed items — one line on one order, not the order itself — we have produced 343 items for Pondicherry over 24 months, across 154 orders that put the city 117th nationally. Paperback and softcover books account for 155 of those items: 45.2% of everything we print here, against 10.7% across India, about 4.2 times the national rate.

A Pondicherry paperback averages 346 pages an item at a mean of one copy. Document work here averages 131 pages at a mean of 3.6 copies: a long file bound once, against a shorter file run several times over. Both are averages across our Pondicherry rows. They describe no single order, and an average says nothing about the spread.

A bound book is billed in two parts: pages by the page, cover by the copy. A4 black and white on both sides is ₹0.60 at the standard tier of 1 to 49 copies, on a file of 21 pages or more; soft cover binding is ₹110 a copy at 1 to 50 copies, both before GST. We publish no total for a 346-page Pondicherry book.

Soft cover: 164 of the 340 finishing lines recorded here

Finishes are counted in their own table with their own total — 340 lines for Pondicherry against 343 product items — so a share from one cannot be read against the other. Soft cover (perfect) binding is the most-chosen finish on Pondicherry work, on 164 of those lines: 48.2% of what we print here against 11.4% across India, about 4.2 times. Loose sheets take 30.6% against 53.9% nationally.

Soft cover, hard, glue or tape binding and saddle stitch each add 1 to 2 working days on top of the 3 to 5 working days in production; spiral, comb, wiro and staple add none. Soft cover sits on 164 Pondicherry lines and spiral on 43, so the slower route is the ordinary one. The window holds at 5 to 10 working days from the working day after we accept the order.

Long files in the thin rows: 446-page hardbacks, 148-page e-books

Below those two rows the Pondicherry table thins out, but the page counts do not. Hardbound books are 6 printed items, 1.7% of city work against 1.3% across India, averaging 446 pages an item. E-book printing is another 6 items at 1.7%, level with its 1.8% national share, averaging 148 pages. Study material and guides are 3 items at 0.9%. Rows this small move on one order.

Hard binding appears on 5 Pondicherry finishing lines, 1.5% against 0.5% across India, about 2.8 times; another 5 lines take a colour cover. It is ₹250 a copy at 1 to 50 copies, ₹275 with golden print on the front, ₹350 on front and spine. The only totals we publish are set on a 200-page thesis: ₹120 for pages alone, ₹370 with hard binding.

Documents run at 50.4% here, against 79.3% across India

Plain document printing is the other half of the city's work and runs lighter here: 173 printed items, 50.4% of everything we print for Pondicherry against 79.3% across India, around 0.6 times the national rate. The average document job here is 131 pages at a mean of 3.6 copies. Of the five product rows listed for the city, four average a single copy an item.

The rate card's standard tier is 1 to 49 copies of a file of 21 pages or more, where A4 black and white on both sides is ₹0.60 a page. It steps down at 100 copies or more, to ₹0.54, but a mean of 3.6 copies is an average and not a distribution: it says nothing about how often a Pondicherry order reaches that tier.

25 pincodes on the 605 block, and a counter in none of them

Our courier network is configured for 25 serviceable pincodes inside Pondicherry, 96% of them on the 605 block, and the 98 named localities behind them take in Ariyankuppam, Auroville, Lawspet and Mudaliarpet. Each is somewhere we deliver to, not a collection point or an address where we keep anyone. The district runs to 27 pincodes across 3 places, Puducherry as a whole to 37 pincodes in 3 districts.

Carriers configured for Pondicherry cover 24 of the 25 pincodes, and which one carries an order is our choice. The network publishes a single transit band of 6 to 8 days for the city — the leg after printing, with all 25 pincodes in it. That is configuration, not a record of how long parcels took. Pondicherry is courier only: pickup exists at the Delhi facility, for Delhi orders alone.

Frequently asked questions

What does printing a paperback book for Pondicherry cost?
Two charges, both before GST. Pages are Rs 0.60 for A4 black and white on both sides at the standard tier — 1 to 49 copies, file of 21 pages or more. Soft cover binding adds Rs 110 a copy at 1 to 50 copies. Payment is online before printing; cash on delivery is not offered.
How long does a bound book take to reach Pondicherry?
The published window to a Pondicherry address is 5 to 10 working days, production included. Soft cover, hard, glue or tape binding and saddle stitch each add 1 to 2 working days on top of the 3 to 5 working days of printing; spiral, comb, wiro and staple do not. It is an estimate, not a guarantee.
Why is this page about books rather than photocopying?
Because that is what the city orders. Paperback and softcover work is 45.2% of everything we print for Pondicherry against 10.7% across India, and soft cover is the finish on 48.2%. Plain document printing is still 50.4% of the work, below its 79.3% national share.
What is the 6 to 8 days shown against Pondicherry?
That is the transit band the courier network publishes for the city: the leg after printing, not the whole job. All 25 Pondicherry pincodes we are configured for sit in that one band. It says how the route is set up, not how long a parcel took. Work to the published 5 to 10 working days.
Can I collect an order in Pondicherry instead of having it couriered?
No. The 25 pincodes and 98 localities named on this page are places we deliver to, not premises: we keep no counter, desk or agent in any of them. Pickup exists at one address, the Delhi facility, and for Delhi orders only. All 154 Pondicherry orders of the last 24 months went by courier.
Does one copy of a book qualify for the bulk rate?
No. The bulk step applies at 100 copies or more, where A4 black and white double-sided is Rs 0.54 a page. A single copy is priced at the standard tier of 1 to 49 copies, and finishing is charged copy by copy: a one-copy Pondicherry paperback carries one soft cover charge of Rs 110.
Is ordering online sensible for a two-page job in Pondicherry?
Usually not, and better said plainly. The window to a Pondicherry address is 5 to 10 working days, so a short job wanted tomorrow is the wrong fit whatever it costs. It suits what the city sends: files averaging 131 pages as documents and 346 pages as paperbacks, bound and couriered in one go.
