2026 Moving Price List
The full Kolkata moving price list. Home size and distance rates, truck sizes, add-on charges and a worked sample bill, all from live partner pricing.
What you pay to move in Kolkata comes down to the size of your home, the distance, and the level of packing. The price list below reflects what customers are actually paying in 2026, drawn from live quotes across our verified partners.
Treat the ranges as a guide, not a final bill. The lower end assumes a lighter load and easy ground-floor access; the higher end covers full packing and tricky access. A quick survey pins down your exact figure.
Kolkata has two housing worlds and they price differently. North and central Kolkata are full of older buildings with narrow stairwells and no lift, so a third-floor flat in those blocks usually carries a stair charge. Salt Lake and New Town are the opposite, tower blocks with service lifts, but their societies want move slots booked and a gate pass arranged in advance.
Truck timing matters here more than in most cities. Daytime restrictions on goods vehicles in the central areas push loading to early morning or late evening, and partners plan around them, so confirm your slot rather than assuming a mid-morning start. Long hauls west, Gujarat included, are usually part-load unless you fill a container, which is why exact dates can swing an intercity quote.
Local moves stay within roughly 18 km of Kolkata. Intercity figures assume a typical 1,358 km haul and scale with the real distance.

Indicative figures for Kolkata. Your matched partner confirms exact amounts in the free survey, and you only pay for what you use.
A standard Kolkata move quote already covers the essentials. These extras are the usual reasons one quote comes in higher than another.
A worked example for a 2 BHK moving locally within Kolkata. Your own bill scales with load, distance and add-ons.
Optional add-ons (full packing, insurance, storage) are billed only if you choose them. A free survey turns this estimate into a firm quote.
Timing changes the price. The cheapest months to move in Kolkata are usually January and February, and the monsoon weeks of July and August, when demand dips. Rates climb through the summer of April to June and around Diwali in October and November.
A mid-month weekday is almost always cheaper than a month-end weekend. If your dates are flexible, share two or three options and let your partner pick the best slot.
Planning an intercity move from Kolkata? Here is what a 2 BHK runs on our busiest routes. Open a route for its full price breakdown.
For a local move within Kolkata, a 1 BHK typically runs ₹1,551–₹2,485, a 2 BHK ₹2,289–₹3,675 and a 3 BHK ₹2,989–₹4,795, before 18% GST. Your exact charge depends on how much you are shifting, the packing you want and access at both ends.
Much of north and central Kolkata is older buildings without lifts, and narrow stairwells slow a crew down, so partners bill the carry per flight. Salt Lake and New Town towers with service lifts skip the charge, though their societies need a move slot booked in advance.
No. The ranges shown here exclude GST. Packers and movers add 18% GST on the labour and transport, and it appears as a separate line on your invoice. The sample bill above shows how it adds up.
Basic packing with cartons, bubble wrap and tape is already included in the moving charge. Full professional packing for fragile-heavy homes adds roughly 10 to 15 percent, since it uses more material and labour.
Transit insurance is optional and usually costs around 3 percent of the declared value of your goods. It covers damage or loss on the road. For a high-value home it is worth adding; for a light local shift many people skip it.
January to February and the monsoon weeks of July to August are usually the cheapest, because demand is lower. April to June and the Diwali season of October to November are the priciest. A mid-month weekday beats a month-end weekend in any month.
A 2 BHK move from Kolkata to Delhi (about 1,304 km) runs roughly ₹15,792–₹25,270 before GST, with 1–2 days transit. See the Kolkata to Delhi page for the full breakdown and free quotes.
A 2 BHK usually fits a 17 ft closed truck. A 1 RK or 1 BHK goes in a Tata Ace or 14 ft tempo, while a 3 BHK or villa needs a 19 to 32 ft container. Your partner confirms the size after the survey.
