Send a parcel from Jaipur to Howrah. We pick up free.
Roughly 1,550 kilometres via Lucknow and onto the NH19 east trunk — 4 working days on surface, 2–3 working days on air express via Kolkata. Pickup from your Jaipur address is free for parcels of 5 kg or more.
Pickup in Jaipur, Lucknow then NH19 east trunk, last-mile across Howrah.
Pickup, Jaipur.
Within 60–90 minutes of your call. We bring tape, bubble wrap and a luggage scale; the parcel is sealed at your address — Johari Bazaar shops in the Walled City, Vaishali Nagar homes, Mansarovar offices or a Sanganer block-print unit.
Trunk transit.
Same-evening handover to DTDC’s Jaipur facility, then movement onto the eastern long-haul — surface goes via Lucknow onto the NH19 east trunk through Kanpur, Allahabad and the Bengal corridor; express goes air via Kolkata airport.
Howrah delivery.
From the Kolkata hub, last-mile across Howrah pin-codes (711xxx) — Liluah, Bally, Salkia, Shibpur, the 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, Salkia Marwari trade, IIEST students, gem-trade.
Gem-trade samples to Marwari merchants
Non-precious cut stones, Kundan/Meenakari/Polki findings and sample lots from Johari Bazaar and Walled-City Jaipur ateliers to Howrah Marwari merchants on the Salkia / Howrah-Marwari trade axis (Burrabazar twins). Commercial invoice, sender KYC and declared-value cover for high-value lots — precious gold and silver bullion cannot ship.
Howrah railway-station-area B2B
Howrah Station and the surrounding freight-handling area is one of India’s largest logistics + freight-handling industrial corridors. Recurring B2B parcels — small machinery parts, paperwork, samples — between Jaipur consignors and Howrah forwarders / agents are a steady weekly pattern.
Liluah / Bally industrial-component B2B
The Liluah-Bally engineering corridor is full of light engineering, casting, machine-tool and auto-component units. Non-hazardous engineering samples, auto-component samples and machinery samples move on this lane regularly. No industrial chemicals — see the restricted list.
Bengal Engineering / IIEST Shibpur student care kits
August–September movers heading to IIEST Shibpur (formerly Bengal Engineering College / Shibpur) — books, kitchen kits, mattresses, clothes sent by Pink-City-resident parents. Surface routing; the biggest student-parcel window of the year.
Bengali-Marwari wedding outfits
Bandhani, gota-patti lehengas, zardozi suits and Kundan/Meenakari/Polki bridal sets from Jaipur ateliers to Bengali-Marwari families across Howrah. Pack in a garment box; surface for the 4-day window or express for last-minute family weddings.
Salkia / Howrah-Marwari business documents & retiree parcels
Daily B2B paperwork, signed contracts and GST documentation between Jaipur Burrabazar-axis traders and Salkia / Howrah-Marwari branches. Express only for time-sensitive paperwork. Settled retirees in Salkia and Shibpur receive regular Jaipur-side family mail and household items.
A short, real list.
DTDC (and every air-network courier) prohibits these. Items most often misjudged on the Jaipur → 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 Jaipur → Howrah misjudgements
- Precious gold and silver bullion from Johari Bazaar — bullion-grade pieces are banned. Only non-precious sample-grade gem and jewellery lots, with full invoice and KYC.
- Attar bottles from Sanganer / Walled-City perfumers — these are oils. They cannot ship.
- Engineering oils / cutting fluids — banned. Send the part dry; the recipient can apply oil at the Howrah end.
- Loose handmade incense / dhoop — 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 Jaipur → Howrah.
What is the realistic transit time, and how does Howrah differ from Kolkata routing?
Surface is 4 working days — Jaipur → Lucknow → NH19 east trunk → Kolkata hub → Howrah. Express (air leg via Kolkata) is 2–3 working days. 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 Jaipur → Kolkata transit time, the Howrah figure is the same.
We’re a Liluah / Bally / Salkia engineering unit — can you handle weekly B2B industrial-component parts?
Yes. Recurring weekly slots for Liluah, Bally and Salkia engineering and auto-component parts are standard on this lane — Howrah’s industrial corridor is one of India’s densest. We bring fixed packing supplies, pick up the week’s consignment together at your Jaipur address, 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 / Bengal Engineering College — what’s typical for the August parcel?
Very typical lane. The August–September IIEST Shibpur window sees a lot of student parcels from Pink-City-resident parents: 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 Jaipur address — Walled City, Vaishali Nagar, Mansarovar — and last-mile delivery to the Shibpur hostel address. Far cheaper than airline excess.
