Book Tata AceTrucks from Mumbai into Ankleshwar GIDC
Ankleshwar in Bharuch district holds one of the largest chemical estates in India. Its GIDC runs on a steady feed of solvents, intermediates, drums, pumps and packaging, and a good share of that stock lands at Mumbai and the JNPT side first. That is why Mumbai to Ankleshwar transport is one of the busiest short lanes we book out of Maharashtra.
TruckGuru books one dedicated truck with driver for your load, picked up in Mumbai and taken straight to your gate in Ankleshwar. Book online or call +91-7202045678; once the booking is in, our team calls you back within 30 minutes in working hours to confirm the truck and pickup slot.
How the run goes
The road distance is about 320 km. Trucks leave the Mumbai side through Dahisar or out of Bhiwandi, take NH 48 north past Vapi, Valsad and Surat, and cross the Narmada at Bharuch to reach Ankleshwar. Transit is 1 day. Most loads picked up in the morning are at the consignee the same evening or early next morning, depending on how long loading takes and on traffic around Vapi and Surat.
The lane crosses from Maharashtra into Gujarat, so the e-way bill matters. For goods above Rs.50,000 in value, the consignor or consignee generates it before the truck moves. Keep the invoice and the e-way bill with the driver, not in an email thread.
What usually goes on these trucks
- Drums and carboys of solvents and chemical intermediates for formulation units
- Pumps, valves, reactor parts and pipe fittings for plant maintenance
- HDPE drums, bags and corrugated boxes from Mumbai-area packaging suppliers
- Imported raw material cleared at JNPT and moved inland by road
- Lab equipment and electrical panels for new units coming up in the estate
Chemical cargo needs one extra step. If your drums carry flammable or corrosive material, tell us at the time of booking and keep the material safety data sheet ready. Not every truck owner accepts classified goods, and finding out at the loading bay costs you the day.
One thing that goes wrong on this lane
Gate timing at the receiving unit. Many Ankleshwar plants only accept inbound trucks within set hours and check paperwork at the security cabin. A truck that reaches at 9 pm can sit outside until morning. Share the unloading window and the gate contact when you book, so the driver plans the departure from Mumbai around it.
Our advice: book 1-2 days ahead for routine loads. Month-end, when units push despatches and the Surat stretch gets crowded, book earlier.
Picking the right truck
For a few hundred kilos of spares or lab items, an Ace / Dost / Pickup is enough. Pallets of drums usually go on a 14FT or 17FT Eicher. A 19FT Eicher or 20FT Container suits mixed plant equipment, and the 32FT Container takes bulk packaging or large machinery crates. Weight is only half the question. Count the drums and measure the crates, then check the truck size guide before you settle on one.
Truck freight rates are not fixed. They move with the vehicle, cargo, pickup date and how many trucks are free on NH 48 that week. The range below is for a full trip with toll included.

On the day of loading
The driver shares the vehicle number before reaching. At loading you get a digital Lorry Receipt, and the truck is GPS-tracked from dispatch until it reaches Ankleshwar. Loading and unloading labour is arranged by you at both ends, and so is transit insurance. The GST invoice follows after delivery.
This is a dedicated truck on the day you need it, not a scheduled daily service. If your plant ships every week, you can book each load separately from the TruckGuru app. For other lanes out of the city, see truck hire in Mumbai, or our container truck service for closed-body loads.
Questions shippers send us about Mumbai to Ankleshwar
How many km is Mumbai to Ankleshwar by road?
About 320 km by the NH 48 route through Vapi and Surat. Your exact pickup point in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai can add or remove some distance.
Will my load reach the same day?
Plan on a transit of 1 day. A morning pickup often reaches by evening or early next morning, but highway traffic near Surat and plant gate hours decide the final time.
What does a 20FT container cost from Mumbai to Ankleshwar?
A 20FT container from Mumbai to Ankleshwar, about 320 km, is indicatively Rs.13,100 - Rs.14,400 for the trip, toll included (checked September 2026). Rates are not fixed; confirm the current rate at booking.
And a 14FT Eicher?
A 14FT Eicher from Mumbai to Ankleshwar, about 320 km, is indicatively Rs.9,900 - Rs.11,200 for the trip, toll included (checked September 2026). Rates are not fixed; confirm the current rate at booking.
Can you carry chemical drums?
Often yes, but tell us exactly what is in them when you book. Flammable or corrosive goods need the right papers and a truck owner willing to carry them, so we confirm before allotting.
Who makes the e-way bill?
The consignor or consignee, for goods worth more than Rs.50,000. The truck crosses into Gujarat, so the driver must carry it along with the invoice.
Do you send labour for loading at our Bhiwandi godown?
No. We supply the truck and driver. Loading and unloading labour is arranged by you at pickup and at the Ankleshwar unit.
Can I share the load with another company to save money?
Every truck we book carries one shipper's goods. Each booking is one full truck for one consignment, which keeps your goods off other people's loading stops.
How do I know where the truck is?
Every truck is GPS-tracked from dispatch to delivery. You also 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.
We are a small trader. Do we need a GST number to book?
Share your GST details if you have them so the invoice is raised correctly. If you do not, tell our team at booking and they will explain what papers are needed for your goods.
Can I book a truck for office or personal goods to Ankleshwar?
Our trucks mostly carry business loads. For a one-off household move to another city, we can supply the truck and driver. Packing, loading and unloading are arranged by you.
