A short drive east
From Rohtak, the highway runs east past Sampla and through Bahadurgarh to Delhi's western border at Tikri. At about 75 km, the drive itself is short, and on an open road a truck can reach the edge of Delhi in under two hours. The real work is in getting through Bahadurgarh's traffic, timing entry into Delhi, and reaching the right part of a very large capital region.
When trucks can enter Delhi
Delhi controls when heavy goods vehicles can enter and move through parts of the city, and the timings change from time to time. Because the drive is short, a mover can often load in Rohtak in the morning and wait to enter in the permitted window, or load in the afternoon and unload in the evening or next morning. Agree the plan in writing.
Bahadurgarh's industry and traffic
Bahadurgarh has a large industrial area, especially footwear and manufacturing units, and the highway through it carries heavy truck and commuter traffic at peak hours. Many families settle here, or in Jhajjar and the Rohtak road townships, while working in Delhi. If your new home is in Bahadurgarh, tell the mover; Delhi's truck rules won't apply.
Where in NCR
West Delhi areas such as Nangloi, Paschim Vihar, Punjabi Bagh and Uttam Nagar are the closest. Dwarka and Najafgarh are reached by roads to the south-west. Gurugram is a straightforward drive via the peripheral roads. North and east Delhi, Noida and Ghaziabad need longer cross-region drives. Give the exact address and a landmark.
Loading in Rohtak
Old-city homes near the bazaars and station need goods carried to the truck, while sectors and Model Town are easier. University, PGIMS and IIM housing needs a vacating notice and inspection. Tell the mover the floor and whether a lift is available.
Commuters becoming residents
Many people on this route have commuted between Rohtak and Delhi for years and finally move closer to work, often into a smaller flat. Measure rooms and the lift before the day, and decide what stays in Rohtak with family. Our storage service page explains short-term storage if you need time.
NCR apartments
Societies in Dwarka, Gurugram and elsewhere usually ask for notice, a moving window, a lift booking and sometimes a deposit. Builder floors often have no lift and narrow stairs. Our guide to society NOCs and lift bookings explains what to ask for.
Fog and heat
Fog in December and January can delay an early start, and Delhi's air is often poor in early winter. From about April to June, both ends are very hot and dusty. October, November, February and March are usually the most comfortable months.
Doctors, students and postings
PGIMS and MDU send doctors, faculty and graduates to Delhi's hospitals and institutions, and government postings move families both ways. If an employer is paying, ask what documents they need; every mover we work with provides a GST invoice.
Festivals
Diwali, Teej, Holi and the wedding season bring heavy traffic and busy crews. Choose a date clear of these if you can.
Packing a short move properly
Even a short move needs proper packing: dish packs for crockery, electronics in their own cartons, wood in blankets, coolers drained and batteries upright.
Settling in
In NCR, register with the society's security, check water timings and the power backup, and book internet early. Our guide to address changes after moving lists the records to update, including vehicle registration if you've changed state.
