Send a parcel from Alwar 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 Alwar address (including the Bhiwadi industrial belt) is free for parcels of 5 kg or more.
Pickup in Alwar, long-haul to Kolkata, last-mile across Howrah.
Pickup, Alwar.
Within 60–90 minutes of your call across Old Alwar, Civil Lines, Adarsh Nagar, MIA. Bhiwadi industrial-cluster pickups (Honda / Hero / Daikin tier-suppliers) booked the day before.
Trunk transit.
Same-evening handover to DTDC's Alwar facility, then movement onto the eastern long-haul — surface goes overland through Jaipur / Nagpur / Raipur, express goes air via the 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.

Bhiwadi auto-component B2B, Liluah-Bally industrial corridor, IIEST Shibpur students.
Bhiwadi auto-component B2B + Liluah-Bally industrial corridor
Tier-suppliers in Bhiwadi (Honda, Hero MotoCorp, Daikin, Ashok Leyland vendor cluster) shipping samples, prototypes and dry spares to the Liluah-Bally-Salkia engineering corridor — light-engineering, casting and machine-tool units across Howrah's industrial belt. Recurring weekly slots; rate sheet on contract. Parts must ship dry — no oils.
NCR-IT family parcels
Alwar sits in the NCR spillover — many Howrah / Kolkata-resident families have parents and siblings here. Wedding outfits, dry sweets (sealed), home essentials, photo albums going to Howrah homes. Surface (4 days) is fine for non-urgent.
IIEST Shibpur / Bengal Engineering College student care kits
August–September movers heading to IIEST Shibpur (formerly Bengal Engineering College) — books, kitchen kits, mattresses, clothes. The biggest student-parcel window of the year. Hostel-address last-mile is standard.
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 Alwar consignors and Howrah forwarders / agents.
Marwari business documents
Alwar's old-city Marwari trading families ship signed contracts, partnership papers and notarised originals to Howrah / Burrabazar-twin trade contacts. Express only — surface is too long for time-sensitive paperwork.
Wedding & festival shipments
Marwari and Sikh-Jat cross-state weddings on the Alwar-Howrah axis — outfits, return-gift consolidation, photographer hard drives, decor returns. Single-afternoon bulk pickup, one GST invoice.
A short, real list.
DTDC (and every air-network courier) prohibits these. Items most often misjudged on the Alwar → Howrah lane:
Banned outright
- Liquids of any kind — perfumes, attars, oils, gels, hand sanitiser
- Industrial chemicals from the Liluah belt — solvents, paints, electroplating salts
- Engineering oils / cutting fluids (common Bhiwadi-side request — banned)
- Aerosols and pressurised cans
- Perishables — fresh fish, sweets (mishti), curd
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh on the air leg
Common Alwar → Howrah misjudgements
- Auto-component lubricants and sample oils — Bhiwadi-cluster shippers occasionally include sample oils with parts. Oils cannot ship; pack the dry components only.
- 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.
- 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 Alwar → Howrah.
What's the realistic transit time on the Alwar → Howrah lane?
Surface is 4 working days on the eastern long-haul (overland through Jaipur / Nagpur / Raipur into Kolkata). Express is 2–3 working days via the air leg into Kolkata airport. Anything faster than 2 days isn't realistic — this is one of the longer cross-country lanes; we won't promise what we can't deliver.
We're a Bhiwadi tier-supplier sending to Liluah / Bally — can you handle weekly B2B parts?
Yes. Recurring weekly slots from Bhiwadi to Liluah, Bally and Salkia engineering units 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.
How does Howrah and Kolkata routing differ — is there an extra day for the river?
No. Howrah pin-codes (711xxx) land via the Kolkata trunk with zero added days for the river crossing. Howrah and Kolkata are routed as one DTDC delivery zone — if you've seen an Alwar → Kolkata transit time, the Howrah figure is the same: 4 days surface, 2–3 days express.
