Rates for packers and movers Kolkata to Chennai start from ₹18,000 for a 1 BHK.
Kolkata to Chennai Distance, Highway and Route
Good thing about this route is its simple. Almost the whole way is on one highway, NH16. It is the east coast part of the Golden Quadrilateral and it starts near Dankuni in Kolkata and ends near Chennai. So the truck does not have to change roads again and again.
- Distance: about 1,650 to 1,700 km by road (different maps show slightly different numbers)
- States: West Bengal, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and a short part of Tamil Nadu
- Main cities on the way: Kharagpur, Balasore, Bhadrak, Cuttack, Bhubaneswar, Berhampur, Srikakulam, Visakhapatnam, Rajahmundry, Eluru, Vijayawada, Guntur, Ongole and Nellore
- Type of road: mostly four to six lane highway, and a large part of it runs close to the Bay of Bengal coast
There are many toll plazas on NH16, like Aganampudi near Visakhapatnam, the Godavari bridge area near Rajahmundry and Kovvur, and Nallur near Chennai. Toll cost is already inside our quote, so you dont pay it separately later.
One more thing people dont think about: the highway ends on the north side of Chennai. So areas like Anna Nagar or Ambattur are reached faster, and south side areas like Velachery, OMR or Tambaram take extra time because the truck has to cross the city.

How Many Days Does Kolkata to Chennai Shifting Take
- Dedicated truck (only your goods): usually 4 to 6 days
- Shared truck (goods of other customers also): usually 7 to 10 days, because the truck makes other stops
A loaded truck normally covers around 400 to 500 km in a day, with driver rest and fuel stops. That is why a trip of 1,700 km takes some days and not one or two. Few things can add a day: heavy rain, traffic near Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam and Nellore, road work near Chennai, or entry time rules in the city. We tell you a realistic date when you book, not a very optimistic one just to get the booking.
Best Time to Shift from Kolkata to Chennai
Weather matters a lot on this route, because most of it runs along the east coast.
- October to December is the northeast monsoon in Chennai, and the same months bring cyclone risk on the Odisha and Andhra coast. You can still move, but keep one or two extra days in your plan
- June to September is monsoon in Kolkata, so loading day can get wet and we need extra rain cover
- April to June is very hot and humid in Chennai, so loading and unloading is harder for the crew
- January to March is usually the calmest time for this route, and a good choice if your date is flexible
If you have no choice on date, dont worry. We just plan more cover and more buffer time.
Things Most People Dont Know Before Shifting to Chennai
- Chennai is humid. Wooden furniture, mattresses and electronics can get moisture problems if packing is weak. Thats why we use plastic cover and extra wrapping on this route
- Apartments have rules. Many Chennai societies want you to book the lift and tell the security in advance. Some allow shifting only in fixed hours. Please ask your new society about this before booking
- Big trucks can have time rules in the city. So unloading may need to happen early morning or late evening. We check this before delivery day
- Uninstall your AC and washing machine early. Ask a technician to remove them before the truck comes. Fitting them again in Chennai also needs a technician
- Keep a small bag with you. Keep clothes for 3 to 4 days, medicines, chargers, documents and some cash, because the truck will reach later than you if you travel by train or flight
- Dont leave your old flat the same day. Goods take days to reach, so plan a place to stay or keep basic items at the new home
How We Pack for the Kolkata to Chennai Route
Goods stay on the road for many days, so packing has to be strong.
- Boxes are sealed and reinforced, not just taped
- Furniture gets stretch film and corner guards, and sofas and mattresses get waterproof cover
- Glass and fragile things are wrapped in bubble wrap and foam, and valuable pieces go in separate boxes
- Appliances and TVs travel upright, in original boxes where possible
- Heavy items are loaded first and light ones on top
- Every box is numbered and listed before loading, so nothing goes missing
