The Delhi packers and movers rate list runs roughly Rs 4,000 to Rs 16,000 for a 1 BHK, Rs 7,000 to Rs 28,000 for a 2 BHK, Rs 11,000 to Rs 45,000 for a 3 BHK, and Rs 22,000 plus for a kothi, with bike, car, labour and packing add-ons quoted separately. Treat every band as a planning figure, since lane access, floor and packing decide the final rate.
This is the fast price card for Delhi moves. It puts the BHK, service, vehicle and add-on bands in one place so you can sanity-check a quote in a minute. We've built it from the verified-mover quotes we review, but treat every band as a planning figure: your lane, floor and packing decide where inside the band your real number lands.
Here is the quick rate card by home size. Read your band, then add the service, vehicle and add-on lines below, because the colony lane, the floor count and the packing grade decide where inside the band your final charge lands.
| Home size | Local charge band | What moves it up |
|---|---|---|
| Few items or single item | Rs 2,500 to Rs 12,000 | Tempo size and short carry |
| 1 BHK | Rs 4,000 to Rs 16,000 | Floor and lane access |
| 2 BHK | Rs 7,000 to Rs 28,000 | Inventory and stair carry |
| 3 BHK | Rs 11,000 to Rs 45,000 | Heavy furniture and packing |
| 4 BHK or kothi | Rs 22,000 to Rs 75,000+ | Large crew and survey |
This card is the quick companion to the main Delhi charges guide. Use it to sanity-check a number, then open the detailed page for your move and pick a mover on the packers and movers Delhi page. For a tailored figure, the moving calculator is faster than any fixed list.
A rate list works best as a filter, not a final answer. In the Delhi quotes we review, the most common trap is a headline number that sits a little below the band and feels like a win, until the packing, the stair carry or the GST appears as a separate line on move day. Reading the card the right way, band first and then the access and add-on lines, is what turns a tempting low number into a fair comparison. Keep that habit and the rest of this page does the work for you.
This rate list is a planning card, not a fixed price. Use it to sanity-check a mover quote, then read the detailed page for your move.
The BHK bands assume a normal inventory and reachable access. A narrow lane or a no-lift floor pushes the rate up a band.
Vehicle transport, labour, packing, GST and insurance are add-on lines and should be quoted separately, not folded into one number.
A rate that looks far below these bands is usually missing packing, stair carry, GST or a shuttle, so ask what is excluded.
For a real comparison, hand every mover the same inventory and access details and compare the written totals.
Use these planning bands to read the rate list. Final quotes need inventory photos, both addresses, access details, GST preference and written add-ons.

A bike or car should be a separate line, never folded into the household total. These bands help you check that the vehicle line is quoted on its own.
| Vehicle line | Rate band | Note | Open |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bike transport from Delhi | Rs 3,000 to Rs 9,000 | Bike class, packing and route decide the rate. | View |
| Car transport from Delhi | Rs 8,000 to Rs 20,000 | Open or closed carrier and route decide the rate. | View |
| Chhota hathi or mini tempo | Rs 1,800 to Rs 5,000 | Used for few items and narrow-lane shuttle runs. | View |
These are the lines that turn a headline rate into a real bill. Each one should appear separately in a clean quote, so you can see what you are paying for.
| Add-on line | Rate band | Meaning | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Labour and handling | Rs 2,000 to Rs 16,000 | Crew count, stair carry and placement. | Read |
| Packing material | Rs 1,200 to Rs 9,000 | Cartons, bubble wrap, crate and fragile cover. | Read |
| GST on the invoice | 5 or 18 percent | Transport-only or full-service rate. | Read |
| Transit insurance | 1.5 to 3 percent of value | Declared-value cover for the move. | Read |

A rate list cannot fix a price because Delhi access changes the job. This table shows how a lane or a floor moves your rate up from the low end of a band.
| Access case | Rate effect | When it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Truck reaches the gate | Rate stays at the low end | Wide colony road or society at both ends. |
| Shuttle tempo needed | Rate moves up a band | Narrow gali forces a chhota hathi shuttle. |
| No lift, stair carry | Rate moves up a band | Builder floor or DDA flat with no service lift. |
| Peak no-entry timing | May add a waiting line | Goods-vehicle restriction pushes loading to a window. |
A final bill is the base band plus the lines that apply to your move. This shows how the rate list turns into a real number once access and add-ons are added.
| Bill head | Amount | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Base shifting (by size) | From the BHK band above | Packing, labour and tempo for the home size. |
| Access add-on | Rs 0 to Rs 6,000 | Shuttle, stair carry or long carry at either end. |
| Vehicle add-on | Separate line | Bike or car quoted on its own, not folded in. |
| GST and insurance | Separate if needed | Invoice and declared-value cover. |
| Special add-ons | Scope based | Storage, AC work, unpacking or carpenter work. |
Use the list to spot a weak quote fast. When the scope is clear, go to compare 3 verified movers.
| Check | Weak quote | Strong quote |
|---|---|---|
| Which band fits | Quote with no size named | Quote tied to your BHK and inventory |
| Access lines | No lane or floor noted | Shuttle, stairs and long carry priced |
| Add-ons split | One lump sum | Vehicle, GST and insurance on separate lines |
| Final vs headline | Only the headline rate | A written total with every line shown |
A fixed price list looks reassuring, but it hides the part of a Delhi move that actually costs money. Two homes at the same BHK can sit at opposite ends of a band: one is a lift apartment in Dwarka where the truck parks at the gate, the other is a third-floor builder floor down a Karol Bagh gali where every carton is shuttled and carried by hand. The list cannot know which one you are until you share the lane and the floor.
So treat the bands here as a guardrail, not a promise. They tell you when a quote is suspiciously low or unusually high, which is exactly what a rate list is good for. For the figure you will actually pay, read the detailed charges page for your move size, then send the same inventory and access notes to three movers and compare their written totals against the band.
There is a second reason the numbers move: timing and season. A move booked on a month-end weekend, when half of Delhi's rentals change hands, costs more than the same move on a quiet weekday, simply because tempos and trained crews are scarcer. The monsoon adds its own surcharge in spirit, since wet galis slow the carry and fragile packing has to be tighter. None of this fits a single printed price, which is why an honest rate list shows ranges and tells you what pushes you toward the top of each one.
Use the list the way our team uses it on a first call: find the band, read the access lines that apply to the home, and only then talk about a number. When a mover quotes below the band without asking about your lane, your floor or your packing, that is not a discount, it is an incomplete quote that will grow on move day. A rate list that is honest about its own limits protects you better than a confident fixed figure that quietly leaves out the stair carry, the shuttle and the GST.
Where you sit inside a band is partly in your control. The biggest lever is volume: a home that has shed its unused furniture, empty boxes and balcony clutter before the carton count is taken needs a smaller tempo and a smaller crew, which pulls the rate toward the low end. The second lever is timing, so a weekday morning slot away from month-end keeps both the tempo and the crew cheaper than a Sunday rush.
The third lever is clarity. When you hand the mover clear room photos, a lane photo and both floor numbers, there is no padding for the unknown, and the quote tightens toward the real cost. A vague brief invites a safety margin; a precise one removes it. None of this means cutting packing or skipping GST, which only moves risk onto you. It means giving the mover less to guess about, so the band works in your favour rather than against it.
The Delhi rate list runs roughly Rs 4,000 to Rs 16,000 for a 1 BHK, Rs 7,000 to Rs 28,000 for a 2 BHK, Rs 11,000 to Rs 45,000 for a 3 BHK and Rs 22,000 plus for a kothi, with bike, car, labour, packing, GST and insurance as separate add-on lines.
From the rate list, a 2 BHK in Delhi sits at Rs 7,000 to Rs 28,000 for a local move. The exact figure depends on lane access, floor and stair carry, and packing grade, so read the 2 BHK charges page for detail.
A rate list shows bands because Delhi access varies so much. A lift apartment and a no-lift builder floor on a narrow gali sit at opposite ends of the same BHK band, so the list cannot give one fixed price.
No. GST is usually 5 percent for transport-only and 18 percent for full service, and transit insurance is about 1.5 to 3 percent of declared value. Both are separate add-on lines, so confirm them before paying advance.
Bike and car transport are listed as separate add-on rates, not inside the household band. A bike usually adds Rs 3,000 to Rs 9,000 and a car Rs 8,000 to Rs 20,000 depending on route and carrier.
Find your BHK band, add the access and vehicle lines that apply, then compare each mover written total against that. A quote far below the band is usually missing packing, stairs, GST or a shuttle.
No. The cheapest number is only the best when the scope matches. A low rate that skips packing, stair carry or GST is not comparable to a full written quote, so check what each rate includes.
