About the Mumbai–Ahmedabad freight lane
Mumbai–Ahmedabad is a short-to-medium lane through one of India's most industrialised stretches, past the chemical and pharma estates of Vapi, Ankleshwar and Vadodara. Many trucks stop at several of these on the way, which makes part load efficient. A dedicated truck can usually do the run within a day.
Usual route: NH48 via Vasai, Vapi, Valsad, Surat, Bharuch and Vadodara, then the Ahmedabad–Vadodara Expressway.
Things to plan for
- Chemical cargo from the Gujarat estates may need a suitable vehicle and documents.
- Vapi, Surat and Vadodara drops can be combined on one trip.
- The NH48 stretch near Mumbai is congested; early-morning departures save time.
