Book Tata AceHinjewadi ships boxes, not bulk: why the Chota Hathi suits it
Hinjewadi is an IT park first, so the freight leaving it looks different from the auto belt to the north. It is laptops returning to a vendor, a rack of network switches for a branch office, printed material for a client event, or a few dozen cartons of pantry and housekeeping stock. Weight is low, value is often high, and the volume rarely justifies a 14FT body. A Chota Hathi, the Tata Ace, covers most of it.
TruckGuru books the Ace with a driver for intercity trips from Hinjewadi, Maan, Marunji and the Wakad side. Call +91-7202045678 or book online. Our team calls back within 30 minutes in working hours to confirm the truck and the trip fare. We run bookings from our Vadodara office and do not keep a desk in the IT park.
Where Hinjewadi loads usually go
The Mumbai-Bengaluru highway runs right past Phase 1, which makes both directions easy to reach. Mumbai offices are the most frequent destination. Satara and Kolhapur pick up distributor stock, and Goa gets event and hospitality material.
- Satara, about 115 km: same day possible depending on loading time, otherwise next day
- Mumbai, about 145 km: same day possible depending on loading time, otherwise next day
- Nashik, about 225 km: 1 day
- Kolhapur, about 230 km: 1 day
- Panaji, Goa, about 450 km: 1 day
Pune city traffic is not our problem here, but the Phase 1 to Phase 3 road is. Inside the park, an Ace can take 40 minutes to cover a few kilometres at 9:30 am. If your building lets vehicles load early, take the earliest slot you can get.
Trip rates for a mini truck from Hinjewadi

Moving electronics: what we handle and what you handle
We supply the truck and the driver. Packing is your side of the job, and with IT hardware it is worth doing properly: original cartons where you still have them, bubble wrap on screens, and servers strapped upright, not laid flat. The Ace has an open deck unless you ask for a covered one, so mention electronics at booking and we will arrange a tarpaulin or a closed body where available.
Loading and unloading labour is arranged by you, and so is transit insurance. For a consignment of laptops, insurance is not optional in our view. One cracked screen costs more than the policy.
Goods above Rs.50,000 need an e-way bill from the consignor or consignee. Asset transfers between your own offices in different states still need one if the value crosses that limit. We issue a digital Lorry Receipt at loading, track the truck by GPS from dispatch to delivery, and send the GST invoice after delivery.
Need more room than a Chota Hathi?
As a mini truck, the Ace carries up to 1,100 kg. Ashok Leyland's Bada Dost is another model that goes up to 1.5 ton. For a full floor of workstations or a large server room, a 14FT or 17FT Eicher makes more sense. Compare body sizes on the truck type page, and see the Tata Ace for rent page for the vehicle itself. Other locations are on the Chota Hathi on rent page.
We do not book a mini truck from Hinjewadi to Kharadi or anywhere else inside Pune. The minimum is 100 km.
What Hinjewadi admin and IT teams ask
Is a Chota Hathi the same as a Tata Ace?
Yes. Chota Hathi is the popular name for the Tata Ace. It carries up to 1,100 kg.
We are sending 30 desktops to our Mumbai office. Will an Ace do?
Usually yes, if they are packed in cartons. Share the carton count and rough size at booking and we will confirm the fit.
What does Hinjewadi to Mumbai cost?
A Tata Ace from Hinjewadi to Mumbai, about 145 km, is indicatively Rs.3,800 - Rs.4,200 for the trip, toll included (checked September 2026). Rates are not fixed; confirm the current rate at booking.
Who do I call?
Call +91-7202045678 or book online. Our team calls back within 30 minutes during working hours.
Can the truck enter our tech park building?
That is the building's rule, not ours. Get the vehicle pass from your facility team once we share the truck number.
Will the driver carry the boxes up to the floor?
No. Your facility or admin team needs to arrange the hands for carrying and loading. The driver stays with the truck.
Do we need an e-way bill for our own equipment going to another office?
If the value is above Rs.50,000, yes. The consignor or consignee generates it.
Can the truck carry stock for two different companies in the park?
No. We book one truck per consignment.
Can we see where the truck is?
Yes. GPS tracking runs from dispatch to delivery, and you get a digital Lorry Receipt at loading.
What are the payment terms?
Payment is split into three parts: Booking Amount at booking confirmation, 90% at loading once the truck reaches the pickup location, and the remaining Balance at delivery before unloading begins. Accepted: NEFT, IMPS, UPI (PhonePe, GPay), and major debit and credit cards. No cash payments accepted.
Can you insure the laptops for us?
No. Insurance for the goods in transit is your side of the arrangement. Most companies use their existing asset policy or buy a single-trip cover.
