Quick answer before you compare quotes
Settle the building access details before dispatch. Kolkata shifting often involves older multi-story buildings without lifts, requiring manual stair-carry. Ensure the shifting company writes down the container type (shared load vs dedicated truck) and confirms Durga Puja holiday scheduling before advance payment.
What does a 2 BHK shift cost on this route?
Usually Rs 29,000 to Rs 44,500 on a shared truck and Rs 42,000 to Rs 58,500 on a dedicated truck. Floor access, packing grade and vehicle add-ons decide where your quote falls.
How many days does it take?
4 to 7 days by dedicated truck for the 1,490 km route. Shared or part load usually takes longer, since dispatch waits for load matching. Always ask for loading, dispatch and delivery as three separate dates.
Shared, dedicated or part load?
Part load (Rs 20,500 to Rs 30,000) suits few items with flexible dates. A full family home or a fixed Kolkata joining date is safer on a dedicated truck with a written dispatch day.
Can my car or bike go along?
Yes, as a separate written line. Scooty or commuter bike (up to 150cc) usually runs Rs 7,000 to Rs 8,500; hatchback or small car runs Rs 14,500 to Rs 19,000. Ask for handover photos at pickup.
Relocating household goods 1,490 km east from Hyderabad to Kolkata crosses through Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Odisha. Average rates run Rs 20,500 to Rs 30,000 for a 1 BHK, Rs 29,000 to Rs 44,500 for a 2 BHK, and Rs 42,500 to Rs 66,500 for a 3 BHK. Settle the specific colony, lift availability, and helper carry limits beforehand to keep quotes fixed.

Every range here comes from the printed rate card and vehicle table on this page. A written quote still needs your goods list, floor and lift at both ends, and the Kolkata society rules. See how ShiftCompare calculates charges.
| Vehicle | Cost range | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Scooty or commuter bike (up to 150cc) | Rs 7,000 to Rs 8,500 | Bubble wrap, mirror fold, low fuel level, and key handover. |
| Heavy bike (Royal Enfield, above 150cc) | Rs 8,500 to Rs 10,500 | Crate or heavy lashing for stability during highway transit. |
| Hatchback or small car | Rs 14,500 to Rs 19,000 | Open carrier transport, condition report, and delivery check. |
| Sedan or SUV | Rs 19,000 to Rs 23,000 | More carrier space; enclosed carrier options for premium models. |
Ensure tax and insurance terms are finalized. Shifting rates attract 18% GST (or 5% for transport-only). Check the mover's GSTIN details on our portal. Transit insurance (1.5% to 3% of declared value) is vital; demand the original policy receipt before dispatch.
Do not believe claims of 48-hour delivery. Transport container trucks must clear state checkpoints, weighbridges, and toll plazas. Factors like driver rest stops and NCR heavy entry restrictions make 4 to 7 days the realistic average.
The three-dates rule: The route covers 1,490 km. Dedicated containers deliver in 4 to 7 days. Shared carrier transit requires 6 to 9 days due to multiple drop points. Confirm dispatch dates in writing.
These are not generic city listings. A card appears here only when the mover profile is marked for this route, and a rating counts only when an approved customer record ties it to this corridor.

We stay in the deal till delivery
We don't leave you stranded after booking. If a verified packers and movers company demands extra money at the society gate or delays your goods, our ShiftCompare team steps in to mediate and resolve RWA issues.
Your goods share truck space with other shipments on the same corridor. Cheapest per item for a few cartons or single furniture pieces, but the delivery window widens and dispatch waits for load matching. Always ask for the dispatch day in writing.
Economical choice where your goods share space with other shipments. Best for light 1 BHK flats, but involves longer transit and transshipment hubs.
A private container truck dedicated solely to your move. Offers direct transit, faster delivery times, and minimized handling risk.

Here is a breakdown of standard closed containers and loading specs routinely used along the NH16 east through Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, Odisha and into West Bengal to the Kolkata city approach for this 1,490 km highway route.
| Home Size | Recommended Vehicle | Capacity | Notes for Hyderabad to Kolkata Route |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 RK / 1 BHK | 14 ft Eicher | 1.5 to 3.5 tonnes | Standard for NH16 east through Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, Odisha and into West Bengal to the Kolkata city approach runs. Single-driver, GPS-tracked. |
| 2 BHK | 19 ft Closed Container | 3.5 tonnes | Most-booked on this route. Prevents monsoon and rain damage. |

| 4 BHK / Villa | 22-24 ft Closed Container | 7 to 9 tonnes | Two-driver crew for non-stop highway transit. |
| Premium / XL | 32 ft SXL | 14 to 16 tonnes | For heavy furniture (pianos, large wardrobes). |
The rate card above gives the planning range. This is the detailed breakdown underneath it: the packing and transport split, every line a bill can carry, and the access factors that move the total.
| Home size | Packing & labour | Transport (1,490 km) | Total cost (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 BHK | Rs 6,000 to Rs 9,000 | Rs 14,500 to Rs 21,000 | Rs 20,500 to Rs 30,000 |
| 2 BHK | Rs 8,500 to Rs 13,500 | Rs 20,500 to Rs 31,000 | Rs 29,000 to Rs 44,500 |
| 3 BHK | Rs 12,500 to Rs 20,000 | Rs 30,000 to Rs 46,500 | Rs 42,500 to Rs 66,500 |
New Town and Salt Lake high-rises offer modern service lifts and container access, whereas older buildings in Behala, Ballygunge, or North Kolkata have narrow stairs and no lifts, adding stair-carry fees.
HITEC City or Financial District towers require lift reservations. Secunderabad or Alwal lane pickups might need a smaller feeder tempo.
The 1,490 km route crosses multiple states. Confirm if Odisha and West Bengal transit taxes, check-post permit fees, and highway tolls are included.
During Durga Puja weeks, local unloading helpers and drivers are extremely difficult to schedule. Plan your relocation early to avoid pricing surges.
Commercial trucks face strict time-window limits for entering Howrah or central Kolkata. Coordinate delivery slots around no-entry hours.
Shared container loads are highly economical for single flats but add warehouse transit times. Dedicated containers offer direct route dispatch.
Keep automobile transport on a separate line item. Bike shifting charges depend on engine CC, mirror packing, and lashing safety.
The coastal route through Odisha and West Bengal brings high humidity and sudden rain. Multi-layer plastic stretch film wrapping is essential.
Kolkata quotes need building access checked early. Salt Lake lift timing, old-building stair carry, narrow approach roads, waiting and extra local helpers can change the bill, so keep GST, insurance and unpacking terms written.
Towers require pre-booked lift slots and vendor gate passes. Schedule loading hours with your society office.
Heavy traffic can restrict container trucks. The crew may need to load early or use a smaller tempo.
Congested streets can limit truck parking distance. Settle helper carry distances before packing day.
Older sectors have low-hanging cables and narrow turns. Settle shuttle vehicle requirements early.
Wide layouts require clear inventory details to plan the loader crew size and save packing time.
Moving to Kolkata: Kolkata stair-carry and old-building planning matters on this route. Kolkata quotes should name lift status and stair carry because many older buildings cannot take large furniture easily. Share the exact Kolkata area, floor, lift status, parking point and receiver phone before comparing packers and movers. Settle the exact details before comparing packers and movers in Kolkata.
Planned sectors with good roads but strict security gates. Settle RWA gate pass and lift slot bookings.
Rapidly developing areas; confirm if the apartment block has a working service lift for heavy wardrobes.
Older residential pockets with narrow turns. Settle parking closeness and check for overhead wires.
Many buildings lack lifts and have narrow stairwells. Stair-carry helper rates must be written down beforehand.
Heavy commercial entry time bounds restrict Howrah bridges. Schedule delivery slots during open hours.
Booked through ShiftCompare, that is our problem too. Read how booking works above for the mediation promise in step 3.
Average rates are Rs 20,500 to Rs 30,000 for a 1 BHK, Rs 29,000 to Rs 44,500 for a 2 BHK, and Rs 42,500 to Rs 66,500 for a 3 BHK. Settle taxes and insurance separately.
We run a 5-point verification, matching registered office bases in Hyderabad (like Gachibowli or Kukatpally) and delivery history under Kolkata local rules.
A dedicated container truck takes 4 to 7 days. Shared part loads require 6 to 9 days as they match other drop points.
Verify if toll taxes, state entry fees, long carry distances at society gates, and RWA lift fees are included in writing.
Yes, combined carriers are available. A bike costs Rs 7,000 to Rs 10,500, and a car costs Rs 14,500 to Rs 23,000. Settle vehicle checks before handover.
Highly recommended. Shifting insurance is 1.5% to 3% of declared goods value and covers highway transit. Request the policy certificate before dispatch.
Only pay a small booking fee (Rs 1,000 to Rs 2,000) to confirm the slot. Pay the transport balance after loading is completed and the bilty is issued.
Ballygunge older buildings often lack lifts and have narrow stairs, whereas Salt Lake high-rises involve basement heights and lift permissions.
