Send a parcel from Ajmer to Howrah. We pick up free.
Roughly 1,650 kilometres on the long Kolkata trunk — 4 working days on surface, 2–3 working days on air express via the Kolkata hub. Pickup from your Ajmer address is free for parcels of 5 kg or more.
Pickup in Ajmer, long-haul to Kolkata, last-mile across Howrah.
Pickup, Ajmer.

Trunk transit.
Same-evening handover to DTDC’s Ajmer 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 the river crossing adds zero days.
POD on WhatsApp.
Once delivered, we forward the proof of delivery (signature image and stamp) on WhatsApp the same hour.

A short, real list.
DTDC (and every air-network courier) prohibits these. Items most often misjudged on the Ajmer → Howrah lane:
Banned outright
- Liquids of any kind — perfumes, attars, oils, gels, hand sanitiser
- Dargah rose-attar / itr bottles — these are oils. Banned outright.
- Industrial chemicals from the Liluah belt — solvents, paints, electroplating salts
- Aerosols and pressurised cans
- Perishables — fresh fish, sweets (mishti), curd, fresh rose petals
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh on the air leg
Common Ajmer → Howrah misjudgements
- Dargah-bazaar attar / itr bottles — these are oils. They cannot ship even if labelled tabarruk.
- Mishti / sweet boxes for relatives — perishables; will not survive 4-day surface transit.
- Engineering oils / cutting fluids — banned. Send the part dry; the recipient can apply oil at the Howrah end.
- 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 Ajmer → Howrah.
What is the realistic transit time on this lane?
Surface is 4 working days — the parcel moves Ajmer → Nagpur / Raipur trunk → Kolkata → Howrah. Express via the Kolkata air leg is 2–3 working days. Anyone quoting faster on surface isn’t being honest with you.
How does the Howrah-Liluah-Bally industrial-component B2B routine work on the Ajmer lane?
Although the heavy Liluah / Bally engineering parts B2B pattern is more typical of Jodhpur-side dealers, occasional samples / spares move on the Ajmer lane too — usually via the Salkia / Howrah-Marwari axis. KYC and a commercial invoice travel inside the consignment; declared-value cover advisable for items above ₹10,000. Parts must ship dry — no oils or cutting fluids.
How do Howrah and Kolkata routing differ?
They don’t, really — 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 an Ajmer → Kolkata transit time, the Howrah figure is the same: 4 days surface, 2–3 days express.
