Book Tata AceHosur is an auto town, and its freight runs to production schedules
Hosur sits just across the Karnataka border in Tamil Nadu's Krishnagiri district, and the SIPCOT industrial areas there are packed with two-wheeler, truck and auto component plants, plus a growing number of electronics units. What goes from Mumbai to Hosur is mostly what those lines consume: steel and aluminium sections, castings, rubber and plastic parts, lubricants, imported machine parts cleared at JNPT, and packaging. A late truck can hold up a line, which is why shippers on this lane care more about the arrival date than almost anything else.
TruckGuru books one dedicated truck with driver per consignment for Mumbai to Hosur transport. Call +91-7202045678 or book online, and we call back within 30 minutes during working hours to lock the vehicle and loading slot.
Getting past Bengaluru
The road distance is about 1,040 km. The usual line is the Mumbai-Pune expressway and then NH48 south through Satara, Kolhapur, Belagavi, Hubballi, Davanagere and Tumakuru. The tricky part is the last 80-odd km. Heavy vehicles face entry restrictions inside Bengaluru at set times, so drivers swing around the city on the NICE road or other peripheral roads and join the Hosur road past Electronic City, crossing into Tamil Nadu at Attibele.
Transit is 2-3 days. A truck that reaches the Bengaluru outskirts during restricted hours waits, and that is the most common reason a day-two arrival slips to day three.
Plant deliveries need a gate pass, not just an address
Most SIPCOT plants run a vendor gate with fixed receiving hours. Send us the plant name, gate number and the receiving window at booking, and get your customer to issue the gate pass or vehicle entry details before the truck arrives. We have seen loaded trucks sit outside a gate for half a day because the purchase order number on the invoice did not match what security had. That delay is entirely avoidable.
Unloading at the plant is done by the consignee's team or labour you arrange. Our driver and truck report on time; labour is outside our scope.
Crossing three states with the right papers
The truck runs through Maharashtra and Karnataka before ending in Tamil Nadu. For goods above Rs.50,000 an e-way bill is needed, generated by the consignor or consignee. For JNPT import cargo, keep the bill of entry copy with the driver as well. The digital Lorry Receipt is issued at loading and the GST invoice after delivery.
Which truck for which part
Steel coils and heavy castings go in an open body or a 32FT container depending on weight and weather. Machined parts, electronics and anything packed in cartons go closed. Lighter urgent consignments, such as a pallet of tooling needed for a line changeover, fit a 14FT Eicher and travel at the same speed as a big container. The container truck service page covers the closed options, and open truck transport covers steel and long sections.

What Hosur-bound shippers usually ask
Mumbai to Hosur how many days by truck?
2-3 days. It is about 1,040 km and the Bengaluru truck entry timings decide whether the truck arrives on day two or day three.
Can the truck report at the plant gate at 8 am?
We plan the departure around your receiving window. Share the gate timing at booking so loading is set early enough to make it.
What is the fare for a 32FT container Mumbai to Hosur?
A 32FT container (7-8 ton) from Mumbai to Hosur, about 1,040 km, is indicatively Rs.57,200 - Rs.60,300 for the trip, toll included (checked September 2026). Rates are not fixed; confirm the current rate at booking.
I only have 2 ton of parts. Which truck?
A 14FT Eicher (3.5 ton) is usually enough. A 14FT Eicher from Mumbai to Hosur, about 1,040 km, is indicatively Rs.32,200 - Rs.36,400 for the trip, toll included (checked September 2026). Rates are not fixed; confirm the current rate at booking.
Can you combine my load with someone else's to cut cost?
No. We do not do part load. Every booking is one truck for one consignment, which also keeps your parts away from other people's cargo.
Is there a daily truck to Hosur?
Not on a timetable. You get a dedicated truck on the day your goods are ready.
Who handles the e-way bill?
The consignor or consignee, for goods above Rs.50,000. The driver carries a copy with the invoice.
Can I watch where the truck is?
Yes. GPS tracking runs from dispatch to delivery, so your stores team can see when it reaches Attibele.
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.
Is transit insurance included?
No. Transit insurance is arranged by the customer. For high-value electronics or machined parts, please do not skip it.
Do you also book trucks from Hosur back to Mumbai?
Yes, as a separate booking with its own pickup date. That direction is quoted on its own.
