Send a parcel from Alwar to Thiruvananthapuram. We pick up free.

Bhiwadi auto-component B2B, Kerala Secretariat, Kerala-diaspora-Gulf-gateway.
BHIWADI auto-component B2B to Kerala-auto-supply
Bhiwadi NCR auto-component belt parts — gauges, bearings, machined components, trim pieces — to Kerala-auto-supply chains and dealer networks routed through TVM and onward across the state. Non-precious metal parts only, declared-value commercial invoice + sender KYC for bulk; min 35 kg fits the bulk band.
NCR-IT family parcels
Alwar's Bhiwadi-NCR-spillover IT families with relatives working in Technopark Kazhakkoottam Phase I/III or in Kerala diaspora-Gulf households. Care kits, books, woollens, kitchen kits — surface fits at 10–25 kg per parcel; usually a third cheaper than airline excess.
Kerala Secretariat sealed-cover originals
Sealed-cover originals to the Kerala Secretariat and Niyamasabha — gazettes, cabinet papers, signed contracts, certified copies. Express only on this lane; the surface transit is too long for time-sensitive paperwork.
Kerala-diaspora-Gulf-gateway parcels
TVM is the takeoff point for Kerala's Gulf migration. Documents, ID copies, last-minute baggage for relatives flying out from Trivandrum International — express recommended. Recurring weekly slot for diaspora-handover families.
Technopark IT-corridor B2B
Sealed-cover invoices, signed agreements, hardware accessories to offices in Technopark Phase I/III. Recurring weekly slots available — single monthly GST invoice.
IIST Valiamala / Kerala University student care kits
Care kits and books for IIST Valiamala, College of Engineering Trivandrum and Kerala University students — books, kitchen kits, woollens for term-start. Surface fits at this weight.
A short, real list.
DTDC (and every air-network courier) prohibits these. Items most often misjudged on the Alwar → Thiruvananthapuram 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 Kerala-lane misjudgements
- Coconut, sandalwood and cardamom oils — these are liquids. They cannot ship.
- Liquid pickle, fish curry, fresh seafood — perishable and semi-liquid; not allowed.
- Industrial chemicals / Bhiwadi reactive samples — even small testing quantities through courier are banned. Hazmat carrier only.
- Whole dry spices are fine; extracts and tinctures 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 → Thiruvananthapuram.
Is 5–6 days really the surface transit, or are you padding it?
It's honest. Alwar to TVM is one of the longest north–south lanes in the country — Mumbai hub overnight, Bangalore line-haul, Kochi feeder, then TVM last-mile. Surface is 5–6 working days. If anyone quotes you 3 days on surface for this lane, they're either flying part of it or guessing. Choose air express (≈3 working days) for anything time-sensitive.
How is Kerala Secretariat sealed-cover paperwork handled from Alwar?
Express service only — surface is too long for time-sensitive paperwork. We seal at your Alwar address (with you witnessing if you'd like), book before noon so the parcel reaches the Mumbai hub the same evening (which cuts a day off the air-leg transit), and on the Kerala side we record the receiving clerk's name on the signed POD with stamp. Niyamasabha deliveries follow the same protocol.
How do Kerala-diaspora-gateway parcels work — TVM-Gulf-relative routing?
TVM is the takeoff hub for Kerala's Gulf migration. We run regular express deliveries to Kerala-diaspora households where a relative is flying to the Gulf — last-minute documents, ID copies, baggage handover, signed paperwork — coordinated to the flight's day at TVM. Book before noon for the express air leg so the parcel reaches the relative the day before the Gulf flight; the receiver carries it onward as accompanied baggage. Recurring weekly slot for diaspora-handover families with single monthly GST invoice.
