About the Ludhiana–Delhi freight lane
Ludhiana–Delhi is the trunk route for Punjab's manufacturers, carrying small and medium engineering consignments and seasonal knitwear to Delhi's markets and onward to the rest of India. It is a short, busy stretch of NH44, so most trucks complete it in a day, and part-load services run frequently.
Usual route: NH44 via Khanna, Ambala, Kurukshetra, Karnal, Panipat and Sonipat.
Things to plan for
- Knitwear dispatch peaks before winter; book early for September–November.
- Winter fog on NH44 can slow night running.
- Deliveries to Kundli or Narela avoid Delhi's city restrictions.
