Book Tata AceYarn, dyes and machinery for a powerloom town
Ichalkaranji, in Kolhapur district, is one of the largest powerloom centres in Maharashtra. Thousands of looms and the processing houses around them run on a steady supply of yarn, sizing chemicals, dyes and spare parts, and much of the chemical side of that supply comes out of central Gujarat, where Vadodara sits.
If you are sending a full load south, TruckGuru books a dedicated truck and driver for that one consignment. Phone +91-7202045678 or book on the website, and once the booking is confirmed you get a callback within 30 minutes during working hours.
What Vadodara sends to Ichalkaranji
The mix on this lane is mostly textile-industry input. Dyes and auxiliaries from units around Vadodara and the wider Gujarat chemical belt. Polyester and viscose yarn on cones, packed in cartons. Loom spares, motors and electrical panels. Some drums of sizing and finishing chemicals.
Cones are light for their volume. A 19FT Eicher or a 32FT container fills up by space long before it reaches its weight limit, so tell us the carton count and dimensions, not only the tonnage. That one detail tells us if you need one truck or two.
Choosing a vehicle
Chemicals in drums and dyes in bags should travel in a closed body, and from June to September the ghat sections of the route get heavy rain. A 20FT container covers most mid-size loads. For bulky yarn lots the 32FT container is the practical choice. Small top-up orders of spares can go on an Ace / Dost / Pickup carrying 750 kg - 1,100 kg. The truck type page compares open and closed bodies if you are unsure.

Indicative fares, checked September 2026. Freight rates move with route, vehicle type, cargo, date and availability. Confirm the current rate at booking.
These figures are a starting point, not a fixed price. Freight rates change with season, cargo and how many trucks are available on the date you want. Toll is already inside the trip fare.
Route, distance and timing
The Vadodara to Ichalkaranji transport run is about 770 km. Trucks go down NH48 through Bharuch and Surat, past the Mumbai region and up the ghat to Pune, then on through Satara to Kolhapur, where they turn off for Ichalkaranji. Only one state border is crossed, Gujarat into Maharashtra, at Achhad.
Transit time is 1-2 days. The ghat section near Khandala and the Pune bypass are where delays usually build.
One thing that goes wrong here: the unloading address. Many weaving units sit in narrow lanes inside the town, and a 32FT container cannot always get to the door. Check with your consignee whether a big truck can reach them, or whether they collect from a wider road or a transport yard nearby. Sorting this before dispatch saves a lot of phone calls at 7 in the morning.
Documents and tracking
For goods worth more than Rs.50,000, the consignor or consignee generates the e-way bill. Keep the invoice and e-way bill with the driver. We issue a digital Lorry Receipt when the truck is loaded and a GST invoice after delivery, and the truck is GPS tracked all the way. You can watch it in the TruckGuru app.
