About the Surat–Delhi freight lane
Surat–Delhi is a textile lane above all. Bales and parcels from Surat's Ring Road wholesale markets travel to Delhi's wholesale cloth markets and on to retailers across North India. Most of this cargo moves by part load, with many small consignments consolidated into one truck, so part-load pricing and handling matter more here than on most lanes.
Usual route: NH48 via Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Udaipur and Jaipur.
Things to plan for
- Use waterproof wrapping on bales; moisture damage is the most common textile claim.
- Demand and rates rise before Diwali and the wedding season; book early.
- Check the weight-versus-volume billing on light textile parcels.
