Send a parcel from Alwar to Ludhiana. We pick up free.
Roughly 370 kilometres up NH48 to Delhi NCR, then NH44 through Karnal and Ambala into Ludhiana — 1–2 working days on DTDC surface, same-evening on express if you book before our noon cutoff. Pickup from your Alwar address (including Bhiwadi industrial belt) is free for parcels of 5 kg or more.
Pickup in Alwar, NCR transit, NH44 to Ludhiana.
Pickup, Alwar.
Within 60–90 minutes of your call across Old Alwar (Hope Circus, Bara Bazaar), Civil Lines, Adarsh Nagar, MIA. Bhiwadi auto-component cluster pickups (Honda / Hero / Daikin tier-suppliers) booked the day before for the dispatch window.
NCR transit.
Same-evening handover to DTDC Alwar, then short overnight road movement up NH48 to the Delhi NCR sort. From there the load joins NH44 north through Karnal and Ambala into Punjab.
Ludhiana delivery.
Sortation at Ludhiana DTDC and last-mile to Ghantaghar, Chaura Bazaar, Model Town, Civil Lines, or the Industrial Area phases along GT Road — typically working day two on surface, same-evening on express. Phase + plot-no notation on the AWB prevents misroutes.
POD on WhatsApp.
Once the recipient signs, we forward the proof of delivery (signature image and DTDC stamp) on WhatsApp the same hour.

Bhiwadi auto-component B2B, hosiery-woollen reverse trade, LPU student kits.
Bhiwadi auto-component B2B
Tier-suppliers in Bhiwadi (Honda, Hero MotoCorp, Daikin, Ashok Leyland vendor cluster) shipping samples, prototypes and spares to Ludhiana-based tractor-component, cycle-ancillary and Mahindra-vendor purchase teams. Recurring weekly slots; rate sheet on contract.
Punjabi-NCR-Marwari documents
Alwar's old-city Marwari trading families and NCR-spillover Punjabi households ship signed contracts, partnership papers and notarised originals to Ludhiana trade contacts on Ghantaghar / Chaura Bazaar. Express only — surface is short, but for time-sensitive paper express still wins on the morning slot.
Hosiery-woollen B2B reverse trade
Ludhiana is India's hosiery and woollen hub; B2B sample cartons flow back to Alwar / Bhiwadi-cluster traders for retail distribution and onward to NCR fashion importers. Recurring twice-weekly slots; commercial invoice plus sender KYC and recipient GSTIN keeps the paperwork clean.
LPU student care kits
Lovely Professional University (Phagwara) is just past Ludhiana on the NH44 axis — Alwar / NCR-spillover parents ship kitchen kits, home-cooked dry rations (sealed), books and clothes to LPU and Punjab Engineering College students. Peak July–September and a smaller January cycle.
Sikh-NCR family parcels
Alwar's NCR-spillover position means many local families have Ludhiana relatives — wedding outfits, dry sweets (sealed), home essentials, photo albums going to Punjabi-Sikh in-laws. Recipient phone is critical for last-mile in Model Town and Civil Lines.
Wedding shipments
Sikh-Marwari cross-cultural weddings: gift cartons, return favours, decor. Bulk pickup over an afternoon, single GST invoice.
A short, real list.
DTDC (and every air-network courier) prohibits these. Items most often misjudged on the Alwar → Ludhiana lane:
Banned outright
- Liquids of any kind — perfumes, attars, oils, gels, hand sanitiser
- Aerosols and pressurised cans
- Cosmetics, nail polish, fragrance samples
- Flammable solids and matches
- Currency notes and gold/silver bullion
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh on the air leg
Common Alwar misjudgements
- Auto-component lubricants and oils — Bhiwadi shippers occasionally include sample oils with parts. Oils cannot ship; pack the dry components only.
- Loose handmade incense — paste-based agarbatti is treated as flammable solid.
- Packed pickle / ghee — semi-liquid; do not pack with regular parcels.
- Silver jewellery — non-precious silverwork is fine; precious-metal pieces are not.
AWB on WhatsApp. Track on dtdc.in. POD when it lands.
The moment the parcel is booked into DTDC, we send you the AWB number on WhatsApp. Type it into the public tracker at dtdc.in any time. When delivery happens we forward the POD — signed slip or photo — within the hour.
Specific to Alwar → Ludhiana.
If I book before noon, will my parcel reach Ghantaghar or Chaura Bazaar the same evening?
Yes — for the core Ludhiana pin codes (Ghantaghar / Chaura Bazaar 141008, Model Town 141002, Civil Lines 141001, GT Road Industrial Area phases 141003), an express booking before our noon cutoff in Alwar clears the same-evening DTDC connection through the NCR sort and lands in Ludhiana on the same-evening run. Outer Industrial Area phases past Phase 7 sometimes finish on the next-morning leg.
We're a Bhiwadi tier-supplier with hosiery-woollen reverse trade from Ludhiana — can we run weekly back-and-forth slots?
Yes — this is a routine on this lane. Bhiwadi auto-component going up, hosiery-woollen samples coming back. We block a weekday afternoon pickup window for your Bhiwadi unit on the outbound and coordinate with our Ludhiana DTDC contact for the return leg, lock a contract rate (usually below the public from-₹120/kg surface tariff for sustained volume), invoice monthly with GST, and forward AWBs and PODs on both legs to your dispatcher and the OEM purchase desk. WhatsApp us to set it up.
I'm sending an LPU student care kit to my child near Phagwara — does it reach hostel addresses?
Yes — the LPU student care kit pattern is one of the most common personal flows on this lane. We bring tape, bubble wrap and a luggage scale to your Alwar address, seal the kit (books, sealed dry rations, clothes, kitchen essentials), and ship via surface for the 1–2 working day window. The recipient phone on the AWB is critical for hostel-block last-mile — LPU's pin codes (144411 and adjacent) are well covered by the Ludhiana / Phagwara DTDC last-mile network.
