A short, real list.
DTDC (and every air-network courier) prohibits these. Items most often misjudged on the Kota → Raipur 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 Raipur-lane misjudgements
- Industrial chemicals and ore samples — even small quantities for testing are banned through courier; need a specialised hazmat carrier.
- Aerosols — including hair spray, deodorants and lubricant cans.
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh on the air (express) leg — declare wattage at pickup.
- Packed pickle / ghee from Kota households — semi-liquid; not allowed.

Specific to Kota → Raipur.
Realistic transit on this lane?
Honest numbers: 2 working days on surface, next-morning on express. Kota to Raipur is roughly 770 km via Bhopal–Jabalpur–Bilaspur on NH53; the trunk is direct enough that surface is reliably 2 working days. Express moves overnight via the Bhopal hub for next-morning delivery to city-core pin codes (492001–492010 — Civil Lines, Shankar Nagar, Telibandha, Pandri) when booked before noon.
We send mining-equipment samples to a Bhilai–Durg buyer. How does that work?
For non-precious metal-and-equipment samples (gauges, drill-bit fragments, steel test pieces, machined samples), DTDC will accept them with a commercial invoice, consignor KYC and declared-value cover — DTDC's default liability cap is limited so declared-value cover is essential for samples worth more than ₹5,000. We don't accept industrial chemicals, ore samples or anything reactive — those need a specialised hazmat carrier. Bulk weekly slots for B2B accounts run on a contracted rate against a single monthly GST invoice.
Care kit to a Raipur-Marwari coaching parent's child in Talwandi — recurring slot?
Yes — though that's the reverse direction (Raipur → Kota). On the Kota → Raipur side we run the recurring slots for Sadar Bazaar / Pandri / Civil Lines Marwari business families: a fixed Tuesday or Friday afternoon slot, single monthly GST invoice. Tell us the rough weight per week and we set a fixed pickup time and a contracted rate. We mark hostel name, room number, student name and phone on every AWB for student care kits.
