Tata Ace
Rs.26-29/km
Book Tata AceGandhinagar is a planned capital, and its residential sectors were never meant for trucks. The freight is on the edges: the GIDC estates in Sectors 25, 26 and 28, the Kalol GIDC about 25 km north, the Chhatral estate a little further on, and the Santej and Adalaj belts towards Ahmedabad. That is where TruckGuru trucks load.
We book full truckload trucks from the Gandhinagar area for intercity trips of 100 km or more. We do not offer household relocation, office shifting or delivery within Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad.
What the Gandhinagar belt makes
The Sector 25 and 28 estates hold electronics, electrical and light engineering units: meters, cables, control panels and fabricated parts. Kalol and Chhatral add pharma, chemicals and plastics, along with engineering workshops that supply the Sanand and Mehsana auto belts. Santej has packaging and food processing.
These goods go to buyers across India. Electrical products head to Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad distributors. Pharma goes to C&F agents. Plastics and packaging move to FMCG plants in Gujarat and Maharashtra.
Gandhinagar also works as a receiving point for raw material: copper and aluminium for cable makers, chemicals for pharma units and steel for fabricators.

Picking a vehicle
| Vehicle | Load capacity | Typical use |
| Ace / Dost / Pickup | 750 kg - 1,100 kg | Meter and panel samples, urgent spares |
| 14FT Eicher | 3.5 ton | Cable drums in small lots, pharma cartons |
| 17FT / 19FT Eicher | 5 ton / 7 ton | Control panels, mixed electrical goods |
| 20FT Container | 6.5 ton | Packaging, plastics, chemical drums |
| 32FT Container | 7-8 ton, 16 ton or 18 ton | Full cable and pharma loads, raw material |
Cable drums are heavy and awkward. Tell us the drum diameter and weight at booking so we send a truck with the right body and tail height. The truck size guide and the Eicher truck page have dimensions.
Truck rates
Truck freight rates are not fixed. What a load costs depends on the route, vehicle type, load capacity needed, cargo, pickup date and how many trucks are running that lane that week. Gandhinagar loads to Mumbai and Vadodara move on busy lanes with steady truck supply, while routes towards Rajasthan and Delhi vary more with the season.
TruckGuru pricing is quoted per trip at the time of booking, with toll included.

Local points that affect your trip
Heavy trucks are restricted in the residential sectors of Gandhinagar during the day. Pickups from Sector 25 and 28 GIDC are fine, but a truck cannot cut through the city centre to reach them. The driver takes the ring road, which adds 15 to 20 minutes.
Kalol and Chhatral sit on the Ahmedabad-Mehsana highway, which is busy but moves steadily. For loads heading north to Rajasthan, starting from Chhatral saves time over routing through Ahmedabad.
Uttarayan in January is a short but real disruption. Many units close for two days and labour is scarce around the festival. Plan dispatches around 14 and 15 January.
Raw material coming into Gandhinagar
The cable and electrical units in the Sector 25 and 28 estates run on copper and aluminium rod, most of it from Silvassa, Vapi and Jharsuguda suppliers. These are dense loads, usually on a 20FT container or 19FT Eicher. Pharma units in Kalol and Chhatral take APIs from Hyderabad and chemicals from Ankleshwar and Vapi.
Inbound trucks follow the same rule as outbound ones: no cutting through the sectors in the day. If your unit sits in Sector 26, give the driver the ring road entry point in advance.
A practical note on timing. Gandhinagar GIDC units often close their receiving bays by 6 pm. A truck that left Vapi in the morning reaches around then, so either book an early start from the supplier or plan for next-morning unloading.
For goods that need to reach several Gujarat towns, one full truck to a Gandhinagar or Kalol warehouse and onward distribution from there is usually the better plan than separate small trucks from the supplier.
If you are unsure which vehicle suits a cable or panel load, send us the drum or crate list before booking. We would rather size it right the first time than send a second truck.
Pickup areas we cover
We load from Gandhinagar GIDC Sectors 25, 26 and 28, Kalol GIDC, Chhatral GIDC, Santej, Rakanpur, Adalaj and the Kadi road. For units closer to Ahmedabad, such as Vatva or Naroda, see the Ahmedabad page instead, since the truck usually comes from there. Kalol and Chhatral pickups are the easiest in this belt: wide approach roads, no city restrictions and quick access to the highway north.
How booking works
Book on the booking page or through the TruckGuru app. You see the trip rate for your date first.
