Hyderabad to Kolkata Truck Transport - FTL Freight Service
Hyderabad to Kolkata is one of the longer east-bound corridors on our network - approximately 1,700 km via NH 16 through Visakhapatnam and Bhubaneswar. Trucks on this route need 4 to 5 days in transit. That makes advance booking and accurate delivery-window planning more important than on shorter routes. If your buyer in Kolkata is working against a production or dispatch deadline, book at least 5 to 6 days ahead.
Kolkata is a major distribution hub for eastern India. Most inbound freight from Hyderabad goes into Kolkata wholesale markets, pharma distribution chains, and manufacturing units in Howrah, Dankuni, and Kalyani. The return leg from Kolkata to Hyderabad is well-travelled, which keeps truck availability steady on this corridor.
Route Details
- Road distance: approx. 1,700 km
- Primary route: NH 65 (Hyderabad to Vijayawada), NH 16 (Vijayawada to Kolkata via Visakhapatnam and Bhubaneswar)
- Estimated transit: 4 to 5 days (FTL, loaded)
- Key stretch: Odisha state highways between Bhubaneswar and Kolkata carry high freight density - convoy delays are common near Kharagpur
- Toll zones: Multiple state borders (Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, West Bengal) - toll billed on actuals
- Seasonal note: Cyclone warnings in the Bay of Bengal coast (typically October to December) can cause NH 16 closures near Visakhapatnam - confirm before booking if shipping during this period
Truck Options and Rate Reference (1,700 km)
On a 1,700 km corridor, per-tonne freight economics matter more than on shorter routes. Most B2B shippers on this corridor use a 32ft container to spread the fixed trip cost across a larger load. The 14ft Eicher is common for mid-range pharmaceutical shipments where load capacity is limited by product quantity rather than cubic space.

What Moves on This Corridor
Hyderabad ships pharmaceutical finished goods from Genome Valley and IDA Nacharam, chemical and dye products from Patancheru, garment fabric from Surat-bound inventory rerouted through Hyderabad, and FMCG packed goods from Kukatpally distributors. Kolkata receives these as inputs for its pharma distribution network, its wholesale textile markets in Burrabazar, and its manufacturing base in Howrah.
Return freight from Kolkata to Hyderabad includes jute goods, hosiery items from the Tiruppur-linked Kolkata distribution chain, and engineering components from Howrah-based small manufacturers. Steady return volume means truck turnaround is faster on this route than some western corridors.
We carry FTL intercity goods transport only on this route. We do not carry part loads, household goods, live animals, fertilizers, or fresh produce.

Toll receipts across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and West Bengal are tracked and shared with the client on request.
TruckGuru is FTL-only. One truck, your cargo, pickup to delivery. No stops for additional loading, no Kolkata-bound groupage. For pharmaceutical or chemical shipments where co-loading with unknown cargo is a compliance risk, that matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the road distance from Hyderabad to Kolkata?
The road distance is approximately 1,700 km via NH 65 to Vijayawada and NH 16 onward through Visakhapatnam and Bhubaneswar to Kolkata. This is one of the longer east-bound corridors on the national highway network.
How many days does truck transport take from Hyderabad to Kolkata?
FTL trucks on this corridor typically take 4 to 5 days. Plan for 5 days minimum if your delivery has a hard deadline. Delays are most common near Kharagpur in West Bengal and on Odisha state highways during high-traffic periods.
What are the transport charges from Hyderabad to Kolkata?
A 14ft Eicher (3.5T) costs Rs.55,500 to Rs.62,500 for FTL over 1,700 km. A 32ft container (16T) costs Rs.95,500 to Rs.1,00,500. Toll across four state borders is charged separately on actuals. Check current rates at truckguru.co.in/freight-calculator.
Which truck size works best for a Hyderabad to Kolkata shipment?
For cargo under 1,250 kg, a Tata Ace covers the route. For 1 to 3.5 tonnes, a 14ft Eicher is the standard choice. For loads of 6 tonnes and above, a 32ft container gives better per-tonne economics over a 1,700 km distance - the fixed trip cost spreads more efficiently across heavier loads.
Are there any route issues to be aware of on the Hyderabad to Kolkata corridor?
Two to watch. First, cyclone season (October to December) can close NH 16 near Visakhapatnam and Srikakulam - confirm road status before booking during this period. Second, old lane-width restrictions in parts of Howrah can restrict 32ft container entry. Our team flags both at the time of booking.
Do you handle e-way bill and documentation for this route?
The e-way bill for the full corridor must cover all four states - Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and West Bengal. Our team confirms e-way bill coverage at booking. The shipper is responsible for generating the e-way bill; we confirm it covers the destination before the truck departs.
Do you offer part load or shared truck service from Hyderabad to Kolkata?
No. TruckGuru offers full truck load service only on this route. We do not arrange LTL, shared trucks, or part loads. Your booking covers one dedicated vehicle.
What goods can be transported from Hyderabad to Kolkata?
We carry pharmaceutical products, chemicals, FMCG, garment fabric, IT equipment, industrial components, and packaged consumer goods. We do not carry live animals, fresh produce, fertilizers, or household goods.
What are the payment terms for Hyderabad to Kolkata transport?
Payment is 5% at booking, 90% advance at loading, and 5% before unloading at Kolkata. The booking amount is non-refundable once driver and vehicle details have been shared.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is TruckGuru?
TruckGuru LLP is a full truckload (FTL) intercity truck booking platform with offices in Vadodara and Bangalore, covering 110+ cities across India. We show you the freight cost before you book, match the right truck to your cargo, and handle the booking from pickup to delivery.
How do I book a truck?
Three ways: book online at truckguru.co.in, use the TruckGuru app, or call 72020 45678. Enter your pickup and drop city, select the truck type, and check the estimated fare. Once you confirm, pay the token amount and our team places the vehicle at your pickup location.
How can I check the freight cost for my route?
Use the freight calculator on our website -- enter the pickup city, drop city, and truck type. You will see an estimated fare instantly. No login needed, no obligation. The final rate is confirmed by our executive after verifying your exact locations, material weight, and goods type.
What truck types are available?
Tata Ace (1,250 kg), Bada Dost and Mahindra Pickup (up to 1.5 ton), Eicher 14ft (3.5 ton), 17ft (5 ton), 19ft (7 ton), 20ft Container (6.5 ton), and 32ft Container in SXL (7-8 ton), MXL (16 ton), and MXL (18 ton) variants. Not sure which fits your load? Call us and our team will recommend the right vehicle based on weight and volume.
What are the payment terms?
A token amount at booking confirmation, 90% of the fare at the time of loading, and the remaining balance at the destination before unloading. We accept NEFT, IMPS, UPI (GPay, PhonePe, Paytm), and all major debit and credit cards.
Is the online estimate the final fare?
No. The website shows an estimated cost based on standard distance. The final fare is confirmed by our executive after verifying your exact pickup and drop location, material weight, and goods type. On most routes the final rate stays close to the estimate, but it can vary for off-highway locations or routes requiring detours.
What are the waiting charges?
If the truck reaches your location and loading is delayed, waiting charges range from Rs.1,000 to Rs.5,000 per day depending on the vehicle type. If the vehicle is not loaded and returns empty, the customer must pay driver fuel charges plus the waiting charge.
What are the GST charges on freight?
GST on goods transport is payable under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) at 5%. The shipper is responsible for filing and paying the GST, not TruckGuru. Our invoices are GST-compliant and sent to your registered email after delivery.
Who generates the e-Way Bill?
The consignor or consignee must generate Part A and Part B of the e-Way Bill before the goods move. This is mandatory for consignments valued above Rs.50,000. TruckGuru does not generate the e-Way Bill on your behalf.
Can I cancel my booking?
Yes. Call 72020 45678 to request cancellation. Once vehicle or driver details have been shared, the booking amount is non-refundable. If the truck has already been dispatched, no refund is issued and fuel charges apply. Approved cancellations are refunded (minus cancellation fee) within 7 working days.
Do you provide loading, unloading, or packing?
Our service covers transportation only. If you need labour for loading or unloading, we can help arrange it at extra cost, but we do not guarantee third-party labour services. The quoted freight rate does not include labour charges.
Do you handle parcels, courier, or car transport?
No. TruckGuru provides full truckload (FTL) intercity goods transport only. We do not handle parcels, courier, bike transport, car transport, household shifting, or within-city local deliveries.
Tips for Booking a Truck
Start with the weight and type of goods you need to move, not the truck size. A 2-ton consignment fits an Eicher 14FT (3.5T capacity), while anything above 7 tons usually needs a 32FT container. Picking the right vehicle upfront saves you from paying for space you do not use.
Always get a confirmed rate before the truck is dispatched. On TruckGuru, the price shown at booking is the price you pay. The payment split is 5% at booking, 90% at loading, and 5% before unloading. If any platform or broker tries to revise the rate at the loading dock, treat that as a red flag.
Check that the transporter provides live GPS tracking and digital documentation including LR, invoice, and POD. Calling the driver every few hours for location updates wastes time, especially on high-volume corridors where even a small delay can throw off your warehouse unloading schedule.
Book 2 to 3 days ahead when possible. Same-day availability is common on most routes, but during October to December peak season, trucks on busy corridors fill up fast. Advance booking also gives you better vehicle options for goods that need closed-body or containerised transport.
