Roughly 1,830 kilometres on the long Kolkata trunk — 4 working days on surface, 2 working days on air express via the Kolkata hub. Pickup from your Udaipur address is free for parcels of 5 kg or more.

Trunk transit.
Same-evening handover to DTDC’s Udaipur facility, then movement onto the eastern long-haul — surface goes overland through Nagpur / Raipur, express goes air via Kolkata airport.
Howrah delivery.
From the Kolkata hub, last-mile across Howrah pin-codes (711xxx) — Liluah, Bally, Salkia, Shibpur, Burrabazar twins. Howrah and Kolkata are routed as one delivery zone, so there’s no extra day for crossing the river.
POD on WhatsApp.
Once delivered, we forward the proof of delivery (signature image and stamp) on WhatsApp the same hour.

Liluah engineering B2B, Burrabazar Marwari trade, Shibpur students.
Howrah railway-area B2B
Howrah Station and the surrounding freight-handling area is one of India’s densest logistics hubs. Recurring B2B parcels — small machinery parts, paperwork, samples — between Udaipur consignors and Howrah forwarders / agents are a steady weekly pattern.
Liluah / Bally / Salkia engineering parts B2B
The Liluah-Bally-Salkia industrial corridor is full of light engineering, casting and machine-tool units. Non-hazardous engineering samples and spares move on this lane regularly. No industrial chemicals — see the restricted list.
IIEST Shibpur & Bengal Engineering students
August–September movers heading to IIEST Shibpur (formerly Bengal Engineering College) — books, kitchen kits, mattresses, clothes. The biggest student-parcel window of the year.
Marwari business-family trade
The Burrabazar Marwari community has many Howrah branches and Udaipur family ties. Wedding shipments, festival hampers (no perishables), document originals and decor returns move regularly.
Wedding shipments & retiree parcels
Outfit consolidation, gift consolidation for Howrah-Udaipur cross-state weddings; recurring retiree parcels (medication boxes — non-prescription only — books, household items).
Jute / textile-machinery samples (dry only)
Howrah’s jute and textile-machinery legacy means dry samples — yarn swatches, textile cuts — are common. Strictly no jute oils or oil-based jute treatments.
A short, real list.
DTDC (and every air-network courier) prohibits these. Items most often misjudged on the Udaipur → Howrah lane:
Banned outright
- Liquids of any kind — perfumes, attars, oils, gels, hand sanitiser
- Jute oil and oil-based jute treatments (common Howrah B2B request — banned)
- Industrial chemicals from the Liluah belt — solvents, paints, electroplating salts
- Aerosols and pressurised cans
- Perishables — fresh fish, sweets (mishti), curd
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh on the air leg
Common Udaipur → Howrah misjudgements
- Mishti / sweet boxes for relatives — perishables; will not survive 4-day surface transit and cannot be booked.
- Engineering oils / cutting fluids — banned. Send the part dry; the recipient can apply oil at the Howrah end.
- Attar bottles from the old city — these are oils. They cannot ship.
- Loose handmade incense — paste-based agarbatti is treated as flammable solid.
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 Udaipur → Howrah.
Is Howrah delivery a separate transit time from Kolkata?
No. Howrah and Kolkata are routed as one delivery zone — Howrah pin-codes (711xxx) come off the same Kolkata trunk and the river crossing adds zero days. If you’ve seen a Udaipur → Kolkata transit time, the Howrah figure is the same: 4 days surface, 2 days express.
We’re a Liluah / Bally engineering unit — can you handle weekly B2B parts?
Yes. Recurring weekly slots for Liluah, Bally and Salkia engineering parts are standard. We bring fixed packing supplies, pick up the week’s consignment together, and issue a monthly GST invoice. Rate sheet on contract. Note: parts must ship dry — no oils, cutting fluids or industrial chemicals.
My child is starting at IIEST Shibpur — what’s typical for the August parcel?
Very typical lane. The August–September IIEST window sees a lot of student parcels: a 25–35 kg bulk consignment with books, kitchen kits, mattresses and clothes, packed across two or three boxes, surface-routed (4 days). Pickup at the Udaipur address, last-mile delivery to the Shibpur hostel address. Far cheaper than airline excess.
