Dehradun to Chennai

Dehradun to Chennai is around 2,350 km, almost all of it down NH-44 through Agra, Gwalior, Nagpur and Hyderabad before turning towards the coast. It is six to eight days door to door. Most moves on this route are IT relocations to the OMR corridor, research and academic postings, and defence families heading to Avadi or the Navy and Coast Guard establishments.

  5. Unloading, reassembly and debris removal at the Chennai address.

Good to know for Chennai

  • Chennai's heavy rain comes with the northeast monsoon, roughly October to December, not in July like the rest of the route. Low-lying areas such as Velachery and parts of Tambaram can waterlog, so in those months we keep the delivery date flexible by a day.
  • OMR towers in Sholinganallur, Perungudi and Navalur almost always need written move-in permission, a gate pass and a fixed time slot, and many limit trucks to certain hours. Confirm these before we load.
  • At 2,350 km we recommend crating anything genuinely fragile and keeping an essentials bag with you. Goods are on the road for most of a week.
  • Campus moves into IIT Madras, Anna University staff quarters or defence housing at Avadi need entry passes arranged in the occupant's name. Share the quarter number and contact at survey.
