What are shifting charges per km in Gurgaon?
Shifting charges per km in Gurgaon apply mainly to the transport line, not to the full move. A mover prices the vehicle by distance, but packing, labour, floor charges and GST are priced by effort and value. So a per km figure alone is never the final shifting cost.
A same city Gurgaon move is usually quoted as a slab by home size, because labour and access matter more than the kilometres. Per km thinking is most useful for the intercity transport leg. For slab pricing by size see the 2 BHK shifting charges and local shifting charges pages. The method is on the methodology page.

Per km transport ranges by vehicle
The per km rate is set by the vehicle, not only the distance. These ranges cover the transport line, not packing or labour.
| Vehicle | Per km range | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Tempo / shared part-load | Rs 13 to Rs 22 per km | Few items, light 1 RK, flexible timing |
| Mini truck (14 ft, dedicated) | Rs 18 to Rs 34 per km | Standard 1 BHK or 2 BHK transport leg |
| Large truck (19 ft and above) | Rs 28 to Rs 55 per km | Loaded 3 BHK, villa or long intercity haul |
What the per km figure covers and excludes
A low per km quote often hides the costs that are not distance based. Confirm the full scope in writing.
Per km usually covers
- Vehicle running on the route
- Driver and fuel for the trip
- Basic loading and unloading time
Per km does not cover
- Packing material and packing labour
- Floor, lift and long-carry charges
- GST and optional transit insurance
- Waiting time and society approval delays
Gurgaon local moves at 5 km, 12 km and 25 km
Same city Gurgaon cost does not scale neatly with km. The total barely changes between a 5 km and a 12 km move because labour and packing stay the same.
| Distance | Estimated total | Transport share | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 km local move | ₹6,650 to ₹16,533 | ₹1,490 to ₹4,991 | Short hop. Fixed costs dominate, so effective per km looks high. |
| 12 km local move | ₹7,228 to ₹17,971 | ₹1,620 to ₹5,425 | Typical Gurgaon local. Labour and access matter more than km. |
| 25 km local move | ₹8,095 to ₹20,128 | ₹1,814 to ₹6,076 | Long local, near city edge. Transport share rises but is not the whole bill. |
Local vs intercity per km from Gurgaon
Per km is unstable on a short local move and stable on a long intercity route. This is why per km is the wrong lens for a same city move.
| Move type | Per km behaviour | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Local within Gurgaon | Effective per km is high and unstable | A 2 BHK local move is priced as a slab. On a 5 km move the per-km figure looks large because labour, packing and a minimum truck charge are spread over few km. |
| Intercity from Gurgaon | About ₹14 to ₹14 per km on the transport line | Over a long route such as Gurgaon to Pune (about 1450 km) the per-km rate becomes stable and meaningful because distance is the biggest reason. |

Why movers do not price a full move only by km
Distance is one input. These factors explain why a per km rate cannot give the real shifting cost on its own.
Truck size sets the per-km rate
A shared tempo runs cheaper per km than a dedicated mini truck, and a large 19 ft truck costs the most per km. The vehicle, not just the distance, sets the rate.
Minimum trip charge
Every move has a minimum vehicle charge. On a very short Gurgaon move the per-km number looks inflated because the minimum is spread over few km.
Labour is not per km
Packing, loading, carry and unloading are priced by effort and time, not by distance. This is why a short move can still cost a lot.
Floor, lift and parking
A no-lift floor or far truck parking adds a fixed charge that has nothing to do with the kilometres travelled.
GST applies on the full bill
GST is charged on the total invoiced amount, not only on the per-km transport part, so a per-km quote alone is never the final cost.
Per km suits intercity, not local
Per-km thinking is useful for the intercity transport leg. For a local Gurgaon move, compare slab quotes by home size instead.
Gurgaon per km charges, FAQs
How is shifting charge per km calculated in Gurgaon?
The per km figure is the vehicle running cost over the route, mainly truck size and fuel. A mini truck is about Rs 18 to Rs 34 per km. Ask the mover to list packing, labour, floor and GST separately because those are not distance based.
What is the packers and movers rate per km in Gurgaon?
A shared tempo is roughly Rs 13 to Rs 22 per km, a dedicated mini truck Rs 18 to Rs 34 per km, and a large truck Rs 28 to Rs 55 per km. Ask whether this covers only transport, because packing and labour usually sit outside it.
Why do movers not charge a Gurgaon local move only by km?
A local move is short, so distance is a small part of the cost. Labour, packing, floor charges and a minimum vehicle charge dominate. Movers therefore quote a slab by home size instead of a pure per km rate.
Is there a minimum charge for a short Gurgaon move?
Yes. Every move has a minimum vehicle and labour charge. On a 3 to 5 km move the per km figure looks very high because that minimum is spread over very few kilometres. Ask for the minimum trip charge in writing.
Does the per km rate include packing and GST?
No. A per km rate is the transport line only. Packing material, packing labour, floor and lift charges, GST and optional insurance are added on top, so the per km number is never the amount you pay.
Is per km cheaper for intercity moves from Gurgaon?
Per km is more meaningful for intercity because distance carries more of the bill. On a long route such as Gurgaon to Pune the transport rate is steadier. Ask for route distance, truck type and transit days together before judging the number.
What truck size is best for a per km Gurgaon move?
A shared tempo is cheapest per km for few items but slower. A dedicated mini truck suits a 1 BHK or 2 BHK. A large truck is used for a loaded 3 BHK or long haul. Ask the mover to confirm vehicle size before booking.
How much does a 2 BHK cost at 12 km in Gurgaon?
Use the distance table on this page. A 12 km local 2 BHK move barely differs from a 5 km move because labour and packing are the same. The transport share is small relative to the total.
Is per km rate the same as transport charge?
Per km rate is how the transport charge is worked out for a route. The transport charge is the rupee value of that rate over the actual distance. Ask for the complete bill as well, because neither one is the full shifting amount.
How do I compare two per km quotes in Gurgaon?
Ask both movers for the full estimate, not just the per km figure. Compare vehicle size, minimum charge, packing, floor charges and GST on the same goods, then judge the total, not the per km headline.
