Packers and Movers Delhi to Mumbai: Charges, Transit and Moving Guide
Delhi to Mumbai is roughly 1,400 km by road, with the actual distance depending on the assigned corridor and both door addresses. For a 2 BHK, budget around ₹22,000–₹28,000 shared with standard packing or ₹29,000–₹36,000 dedicated with enhanced protective packing. Confirm the surveyed scope, tax and optional insurance in the written quote.
Allow about 2–4 days after loading for a dedicated vehicle, with packing separately, or around 4–7 days from pickup for a shared load. ALPM can assess a family home, office setup or separate vehicle consignment. This guide covers the cost, highway approach and Mumbai-region building details that need to fit together before dispatch.

Delhi to Mumbai Packers and Movers Charges
Nobody can give you an exact figure without seeing the house – two 2 BHK flats can differ by half a truck. The ranges below are indicative budget guides, not completed-job records or fixed tariffs. Ask the estimate to specify packing, labour, loading, transport, tolls, unloading, applicable tax, optional insurance and any additional handling.
Household shifting charges (1 BHK to 4 BHK)
| House size | Packing | Truck | Approx. charges |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 BHK | Standard 3-layer | Shared (part load) | ₹15,000 – ₹20,000 |
| 1 BHK | Enhanced protective packing | Dedicated | ₹22,000 – ₹26,000 |
| 2 BHK | Standard 3-layer | Shared (part load) | ₹22,000 – ₹28,000 |
| 2 BHK | Enhanced protective packing | Dedicated | ₹29,000 – ₹36,000 |
| 3 BHK | Enhanced protective packing | Shared (part load) | ₹30,000 – ₹38,000 |
| 3 BHK | Enhanced protective packing | Dedicated | ₹42,000 – ₹52,000 |
| 4 BHK / villa | Enhanced protective packing | Dedicated | ₹52,000 – ₹65,000 |
What pushes the bill up: a lot of wooden furniture, a double-door fridge or a big sofa set, no lift at either end, an extra long walk from the truck to the gate, and moving in the last week of the month when preferred slots can fill quickly. What brings it down: giving away the things you won't use in Mumbai, flexible dates, and choosing a shared truck if you are not in a hurry.
Car and bike transport charges from Delhi to Mumbai
| Vehicle | How it travels | Approx. charges |
|---|---|---|
| Scooter / bike up to 150cc | Wrapped and strapped, in the household truck or a shared carrier | ₹4,000 – ₹6,000 |
| Bike above 150cc (Royal Enfield, KTM etc.) | Wooden crate with foam padding | ₹6,500 – ₹9,000 |
| Hatchback (Swift, i20, Baleno) | Carrier type to be confirmed | ₹14,000 – ₹18,000 |
| Sedan / SUV (City, Creta, Harrier) | Carrier type to be confirmed | ₹18,000 – ₹25,000 |
Confirm carrier type, packing and securing, actual collection points and the vehicle consignment’s separate departure and delivery window.
What to Include in Your Written Delhi to Mumbai Quote
Compare movers on the same inventory and work. Ask for these items to be specified rather than assuming every headline rate includes them:
- Packing material – cartons, bubble wrap, foam sheets, stretch film, corner guards
- Packing labour in Delhi and unpacking labour in Mumbai
- Dismantling and re-fixing of beds, wardrobes and dining tables
- Loading, transport and unloading
- Transport and highway tolls, with any applicable paperwork
- GST invoice and Lorry Receipt (LR)
What is not included unless you ask for it: transit insurance (charged on the value you declare), AC uninstallation and installation, TV wall mounting, carpentry on new furniture, and storage if your Mumbai flat isn't ready yet. If any of these apply, settle the scope and charges at survey time. Record the full payable total and agree any later change before additional work starts.
Which Route Does the Truck Take?
A conventional approach follows the NH48 corridor – Gurugram, Jaipur, Udaipur, Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat and into Mumbai from the Dahisar side. The actual NCR pickup and Mumbai-region endpoint determine the permitted approach.
The Delhi–Mumbai Expressway can form part of the assigned route where the required sections and connections are open and permitted for the vehicle. Confirm the current corridor rather than assuming the entire journey uses a continuously open expressway. The final leg into the city is what really decides the delivery time, because of Mumbai's truck timings – explained below.
Things to Know Before Your Goods Reach Mumbai
Truck entry timings in Mumbai
Mumbai-region goods-vehicle restrictions depend on the vehicle class, road, zone, date and any special traffic order. South Mumbai access can differ from a suburban, Thane or Navi Mumbai destination. Have the transporter check the current order for the assigned vehicle, then match it with the society’s unloading slot; permission to drive on a road does not by itself give permission to unload at a building.
Society NOC and lift booking
This is the one thing that catches Delhi people off guard. Most Mumbai buildings are cooperative housing societies, and many of them want a letter or NOC from the owner, a booked shifting slot and advance booking of the service lift. Some ask for a refundable deposit. Talk to your society secretary or your broker a week before delivery and get this sorted – ask which vehicle and labour details the building requires and share the agreed information before dispatch.
Narrow lanes and parking
A full-size container cannot enter many lanes in Bandra, Dadar, Girgaon or older parts of Thane. In such cases we park the big truck at a permitted spot and shift the goods to a smaller vehicle like a Tata Ace for the last part. If your building is in a tight lane, tell us at the survey so this is planned in advance.
Smaller flats
Be honest with yourself here. A 3 BHK in Dwarka or Noida can be the same carpet area as a 2 BHK in Andheri or Powai. Before packing, check the room sizes of your new flat and decide which furniture actually fits. Moving a huge wardrobe 1,400 km only to sell it on OLX in Mumbai is a waste of money – measure bulky pieces against the new rooms, lift, door and staircase before deciding what to take.
Best Time to Shift from Delhi to Mumbai
Mumbai's monsoon runs from about June to September. For a move during this period, agree suitable protective packing for sofas, mattresses, wooden furniture and electronics, and keep some flexibility in the delivery date because of waterlogging. The busy periods are March–April and the month-end of every month, when transfers and school changes peak. If your dates are flexible, compare more than one slot for vehicle availability, weather and the two buildings’ permissions rather than assuming a particular month guarantees a lower rate.
Car and Bike Transport – Documents You Need
Keep these ready at the time of pickup:
- RC (original stays with you, give us a photocopy)
- Valid insurance copy
- PUC certificate
- Your ID proof
Follow the carrier and maker guidance on fuel or EV charge and transport mode. Remove personal belongings, agree any detachable accessories and ask the carrier or FASTag issuer how to handle the tag. We note existing scratches and dents with photos at pickup so there is no argument at delivery.
Check origin and destination transport-authority requirements for your registration series, ownership, new address and planned stay. Any applicable NOC, tax, address or registration process is separate from the carrier booking; BH-series provisions can differ.
Household, Furniture and Office Moving Services
House shifting and furniture fit
For a complete Mumbai home, measure wardrobes, beds, dining furniture and the sofa against the new rooms, door, stairs and permitted lift. Agree dismantling, edge protection, carton labels and reassembly before pickup. Moving fewer unsuitable pieces can reduce the load and avoid paying for handling furniture that cannot be placed in the flat.
Office goods and small setups
For desks, chairs, computers and files, prepare an asset list and identify the authorised release and receiving contacts. Keep confidential data and essential devices under your organisation’s instructions, and agree technical disconnection or setup separately. A few cartons or a light rented-room setup can be assessed for shared space with a flexible receiving window.
Appliances and unloading
Prepare appliances according to the maker’s instructions. Drain the washer, fit required transport locks and remove those locks before use. Follow the fridge maker’s transport and restart guidance. Agree who receives the goods, the unloading path and which unpacking or room-placement tasks are included.
Packing, Loading and Delivery: Your Move Step by Step
- Survey (10–15 days before): We visit your home in Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Ghaziabad or Faridabad, or do a video call. You get a written quote with every item listed.
- Booking: Fix the pickup date, choose dedicated or shared, decide on insurance.
- Packing day: The crew packs room by room, labels every carton with the room name, and dismantles furniture. Screws and fittings go into a separate labelled bag.
- Loading and inventory: You get a copy of the inventory list and the LR before the truck leaves.
- Transit: Your move coordinator gives you updates on the way.
- Delivery in Mumbai: Unloading and the unpacking, room placement and refitting specified in your estimate. Check the cartons against the list before signing.
Plan the route for wide furniture first
The photo shows a wide, low piece being covered before it is carried out. With furniture this shape, the awkward point is often a corridor corner or lift door. Check those openings before packing is finished, while the team can still agree whether any removable parts need to come off.
For Delhi to Mumbai shifting, give the receiving building the dimensions too. Confirm the goods-entry and lift arrangements for the delivery date, rather than relying only on a travel estimate. Keep other cartons out of the carrying path, and check the visible condition of the wide faces and corners when the covering is opened.
Things We Can't Carry
For safety and legal reasons, the truck cannot carry LPG cylinders, petrol or kerosene, crackers, acids, or other prohibited dangerous goods. Cash, gold, jewellery, passports and property papers should travel with you, not in the truck – keep first-night essentials and medicines with you as well. Ask separately about plants, pets, batteries or other unusual items rather than adding them to a household load.
If Something Gets Damaged
Keep the packing list, consignment note, invoice, handover photos and any insurance documents. At delivery, compare the item count and record visible damage or shortages on the receipt. Take clear photos of the item and packing, and inform the mover and insurer promptly within the applicable policy’s reporting requirements.
Before dispatch, ask about insurance availability, insurer, declared value, premium, excess and exclusions. Any claim outcome depends on the policy and evidence; do not assume a standard 24-hour deadline or automatic compensation for every item.
Why Choose ALPM for Your Delhi to Mumbai Move?
Use the survey and written estimate to settle the actual NCR pickup, packing level, vehicle mode, Mumbai-region endpoint, society slot and payable total. ALPM’s GSTIN is 36FDRPM0957B1ZC; match the company and billing details on your documents before booking.
Call 94671 86002 with both addresses, item list and dates. Ask who handles dispatch updates and how a changed arrival time or access condition will be communicated. Compare the same inventory and scope across quotes so the choice reflects the work at both buildings.
Pickup Areas in Delhi NCR and Delivery Areas in Mumbai
Pickup: All of Delhi – Dwarka, Janakpuri, Rohini, Pitampura, Saket, Vasant Kunj, Karol Bagh, Laxmi Nagar, Mayur Vihar – and the NCR cities around it. If you are moving from Gurgaon or Noida, the actual approach distance, inventory, access and any smaller collection vehicle affect the quote.
Delivery: Andheri, Bandra, Powai, Goregaon, Malad, Borivali, Worli, Chembur, Thane, Navi Mumbai (Vashi, Kharghar, Panvel), Mira Road, Vasai–Virar, Kalyan and Dombivli. Moving to Pune instead? See our Delhi to Pune page. A later local move needs a separate assessment of its addresses and work.
If your Mumbai flat isn't ready on the day your goods arrive, discuss storage availability, location, duration, handling and redelivery costs before dispatch. Do not send a load to a property without keys or a ready receiver unless a holding plan is agreed.
