Up the Delhi–Jaipur highway
From Rewari, the truck joins NH 48 near Dharuhera and heads north-east past the industrial belt at Manesar, then through Gurugram to the Delhi border. The highway is wide but carries an enormous amount of traffic, from container trucks to commuter cars, and the stretch through Gurugram can be very slow at peak hours.
Leaving Rewari
In the old city, the truck may need to park on a wider road. Railway quarters and company housing near Dharuhera and Bawal need a vacating notice and an inspection. Start loading early so the truck reaches the city before the evening rush.
Gurugram first
Gurugram is the first part of Delhi NCR on this route, and many Rewari families move there for work. Its towers and gated societies usually want the move registered, a gate pass, a booked service lift and daytime moving. Our guide to society NOCs and lift bookings has a checklist.
Into Delhi
Delhi restricts when goods vehicles may enter and which roads they may use, and the rules change from time to time. A mover who works this route will know the current timings. South-west Delhi, Dwarka and Vasant Kunj are closest; north and east Delhi are much further through traffic.
Builder floors
Many Delhi homes are builder floors with narrow stairs and no lift, so large furniture may need dismantling. Tell your mover which floor you're on and measure the stairs. Our guide to moving in Delhi NCR explains what to expect.
Why people make this move
Jobs in Gurugram's offices and factories, Delhi's colleges and hospitals, and family draw many Rewari households north. Army families also move to postings in Delhi Cantonment. If an employer is paying, ask what documents they need; every mover we work with provides a GST invoice.
Heat, fog and timing
April to June is very hot on this route, and December and January bring fog and smog. October to November and February to March are usually the easiest months.
Festivals
Diwali, Holi, Karva Chauth and the wedding season crowd the highway and the markets. Choose a date clear of the busiest days.
Students
A student moving to a Delhi or Gurugram college or a paying-guest room usually needs only a few-items move. Check the hostel's dates first.
Packing
Ask for sofas and mattresses in covers, crockery in dish packs and electronics in their own cartons. Wrap brass and copper pieces separately. Keep documents and jewellery with you.
Two-wheelers
A scooter or motorcycle can usually travel in the same truck if it's wrapped, photographed and listed separately. Our bike transport service page explains the options.
Military moves
If you're moving into service accommodation in Delhi, find out the allotment date, the gate rules and who hands over the keys. Share these with the mover so the truck doesn't wait at the gate.
Settling in
In Delhi NCR, register with the society or landlord, find out the water timings and power backup, and book internet early. Our guide to address changes after moving lists the official records to update.
