Quick pricing summary 2026
Relocation costs across Delhi NCR and India's metro corridors have stabilised around a transparent baseline. Empire Relocations' 15+ years of enterprise relocation experience means your quote reflects actual costs without hidden mark-ups. Whether you're moving a 1BHK in Ghaziabad or orchestrating a 500-person office relocation from Gurgaon to Noida, pricing depends on distance, floor access, packing grade, and compliance requirements for corporate moves.

Local move pricing by BHK
Residential relocations within the same metro—Delhi to East Delhi, Gurgaon to Noida, Bangalore Whitefield to Koramangala—follow a predictable cost ladder based on built-up area and floor access. Moves within Delhi NCR (covering postal codes 110001–110097 across all districts) are priced per cubic metre of cargo plus labour, vehicle size, and packing material grade.
| BHK / Type | Approx. Items | Basic Packing (₹) | Premium Packing (₹) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1BHK | 50–60 items | ₹6,500 – ₹9,500 | ₹10,500 – ₹14,000 | Auto + labour; ground floor discount ~10% |
| 2BHK | 80–100 items | ₹10,000 – ₹18,000 | ₹16,000 – ₹26,000 | Large furniture; high-rise surcharge ₹1,500–₹3,000 |
| 3BHK | 120–150 items | ₹18,000 – ₹28,000 | ₹26,000 – ₹38,000 | Modular kitchen, AC units; floor access critical |
| 4BHK+ | 180+ items | ₹32,000 – ₹48,000 | ₹42,000 – ₹62,000 | Often requires 2 trucks; site visit mandatory |
| Studio / Bachelor | 20–35 items | ₹4,500 – ₹7,000 | ₹6,500 – ₹10,000 | Quick turnaround; popular in Karol Bagh, Emar |
What "Basic" vs. "Premium" packing includes
- Basic packing: Newspaper wrap, recycled boxes, tape, and standard labour for loading/unloading. No wooden crating for furniture. Suitable for moves within 50 km.
- Premium packing: Grade-A corrugated boxes, bubble wrap, foam corners, wooden crating for high-value furniture, and shrink-wrap. Recommended for intercity or high-value items (pianos, antiques, art). Includes IBA-approved audit trail documentation.
Moves in congested areas—Chandni Chowk, Old Delhi (110006), Pahar Ganj—attract a ₹2,000–₹4,000 restricted-access surcharge due to narrow lanes and parking constraints.
Intercity move pricing
Long-distance relocations are priced per kilometre plus vehicle type and packing grade. A household relocation from Delhi (110001) to Bangalore (560001, ~2,100 km) typically costs more than a Gurgaon (122001) to Pune (411001, ~1,400 km) move. Transparent per-km rates eliminate surprise mark-ups.
| Route | Distance (km) | BHK Type | Estimated Range (₹) | Transit Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Delhi – Mumbai | 1,400 | 2BHK | ₹22,000 – ₹35,000 | 4–5 days |
| Delhi – Mumbai | 1,400 | 4BHK | ₹42,000 – ₹68,000 | 4–5 days |
| Delhi – Bangalore | 2,100 | 2BHK | ₹28,000 – ₹45,000 | 5–7 days |
| Delhi – Bangalore | 2,100 | 4BHK | ₹55,000 – ₹85,000 | 5–7 days |
| Gurgaon – Pune | 1,400 | 2BHK | ₹20,000 – ₹32,000 | 4–6 days |
| NCR – Kolkata | 1,600 | 3BHK | ₹32,000 – ₹52,000 | 5–7 days |
| Noida – Hyderabad | 1,650 | 2BHK | ₹25,000 – ₹40,000 | 5–7 days |
All intercity quotes include GST-compliant invoicing and a dedicated project manager from booking to delivery. Insurance (add-on) covers up to ₹25 lakh per consignment at ₹250 per ₹1,00,000 declared value.
Vehicle transport pricing
Car and bike transport is priced per kilometre with vehicle type, origin-destination pair, and season (monsoon surcharges apply June–September). Empire's specialised IT-equipment handling protocols extend to high-value vehicle relocation for corporate executives.
Car transport
| Route | Distance (km) | Vehicle Type | Price Range (₹) | Insurance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Delhi – Gurgaon | 30 | Sedan (Maruti, Hyundai) | ₹3,000 – ₹5,500 | Included |
| Delhi – Noida | 25 | SUV (Fortuner, Creta) | ₹4,000 – ₹6,500 | Included |
| Delhi – Jaipur | 250 | Sedan | ₹7,500 – ₹11,000 | Optional (₹500–₹1,000) |
| Delhi – Bangalore | 2,100 | Sedan | ₹12,000 – ₹18,000 | Optional (₹1,500–₹2,500) |
| Delhi – Mumbai | 1,400 | SUV | ₹10,000 – ₹16,000 | Optional (₹1,200–₹2,000) |
| Bangalore – Hyderabad | 570 | Sedan | ₹4,500 – ₹7,500 | Optional (₹600–₹1,000) |
Bike transport (motorcycle/scooter)
| Route | Distance (km) | Transport Type | Price Range (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delhi – Gurgaon | 30 | Bike carrier | ₹800 – ₹1,500 |
| Delhi – Jaipur | 250 | Bike carrier | ₹2,500 – ₹4,000 |
| Delhi – Bangalore | 2,100 | Bike carrier | ₹5,500 – ₹8,500 |
| NCR – Chennai | 2,300 | Bike carrier | ₹6,000 – ₹9,000 |
Two-wheeler transport includes packaging in foam and waterproof shrink-wrap. Pricing is per-item; most long-distance shipments consolidate multiple bikes to optimise cost.
Office relocation pricing
Enterprise-grade office moves demand precision, compliance documentation, and minimal downtime. Empire's track record includes a 200-person office relocation for a multinational tech firm across Delhi NCR completed in a single weekend with full Monday-morning operational status. Pricing scales with workstation count, equipment complexity (server racks, specialised IT cabling), and relocation window (weekend vs. weekday night shift).
| Office Scale | Workstations | Typical Budget (₹) | Project Duration | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Startup / Small | 10–25 | ₹35,000 – ₹75,000 | 4–6 hours | Desk, chair, monitor relocation; cable labelling |
| Mid-size | 26–75 | ₹1,00,000 – ₹2,20,000 | 1 weekend | Full office furniture, server/UPS relocation, network audit |
| Large corporate | 76–200 | ₹2,50,000 – ₹5,50,000 | 1–2 weekends | Dedicated project manager, IT asset tracking, phased cutover |
| Enterprise (200+) | 200+ | ₹6,00,000 – ₹15,00,000+ | 2–4 days | Multi-team coordination, 24/7 on-site support, audit trail |
| Intercity office move | 50–100 | ₹3,50,000 – ₹7,50,000 | 2–4 days | Compliance-ready documentation, phased transition planning |
All office relocations include GST-compliant invoicing and a structured project plan with audit trails for regulatory compliance. High-value office IT equipment is handled under specialised IT-equipment handling protocols with real-time tracking.
What affects your final quote
Your specific price depends on several measurable factors. Empire's transparent quoting process isolates each variable so you understand where costs come from.
- Distance: Local moves (same city) cost ₹6,500–₹15,000 for 1–2BHK; intercity adds ₹8–₹12 per kilometre.
- Floor access & parking: High-rise buildings (15+ floors) in South Delhi or Gurgaon's DLF add ₹1,500–₹3,500 per move. Narrow lanes (Old Delhi, Chandni Chowk area) attract restricted-access surcharges of ₹2,000–₹4,000.
- Packing material grade: Recycled boxes (basic) vs. Grade-A corrugated + bubble wrap (premium) difference is ₹2,000–₹8,000 depending on item count.
- Move date & season: Monsoon moves (June–September) attract surcharges. Off-season moves (November–February) may have discounts. Weekend relocations (office moves) cost 15–20% more than weekday night shifts.
- Insurance & compliance: Optional insurance ranges ₹250–₹500 per ₹1,00,000 declared value. GST-compliant invoicing (GSTIN: 07CFHPS1719A2ZN) is standard.
- Specialised handling: Pianos, server racks, lab equipment, or modular kitchens trigger add-on fees of ₹2,000–₹8,000 depending on complexity.
- Waiting time & labour: If loading or unloading is delayed, additional labour costs ₹600–₹1,200 per extra hour.
Hidden fees to watch for
The relocation market often masks costs in vague line items. Empire's transparent approach itemises every charge upfront. Watch for these industry gotchas:
- Staircase access charges: Non-IBA local movers often add surprise ₹500–₹2,000 per floor if an elevator is unavailable. This should be disclosed at quote stage.
- Waiting time beyond 2 hours: Some operators charge ₹300–₹600 per extra 30 minutes. Always clarify the free-waiting window.
- Handling charges for delicate items: Pianos, glass-top tables, antiques—confirm if they're quoted separately or bundled.
- Packing material uplift: A switch from basic to premium packing mid-move (after quoting) can add ₹3,000–₹6,000 unexpectedly.
- Fuel & toll pass-through: Confirm whether intercity quotes absorb fuel, or if ₹1,500–₹2,500 is added at invoice. Empire's quotes are all-inclusive.
- Insurance gaps: Many movers offer "coverage" that only applies to their own negligence—not theft or weather damage. Always request a detailed policy.
- GST clarity: Ensure GST is explicitly mentioned. A ₹30,000 quote could become ₹35,400 if GST is applied at invoice—confirm upfront.
Empire's GSTIN 07CFHPS1719A2ZN and IBA Code MUO-2547 ensure all invoices are audit-ready with zero hidden markups.
How to get an accurate quote
A precise quote requires detailed information. Follow this three-step process to avoid under-quoting and mid-move surprises.
- Step 1: Share your move details online or call +91 9891300425. Provide origin & destination addresses (including postcodes), BHK/office size, key items (piano, safe, car), move date, and any floor-access constraints. For example: "1BHK, Karol Bagh (110005) to Indirapuram (201014), includes wall-mounted AC, ground floor to 8th floor."
- Step 2: Site visit by a dedicated project manager. Empire sends an IBA-approved surveyor to measure furniture, assess staircase/lift access, and identify restricted-area surcharges. For office moves, a detailed IT asset audit is included. This site visit is free and obligatory for accurate pricing.
- Step 3: Itemised written quote with GST breakdown. You receive a compliance-ready quote within 24–48 hours, itemising truck size, packing material grade, labour cost, transit days, insurance (optional), and total GST. No oral quotes; all documentation is audit-trail ready.
Most customers receive final quotes within 2 days of the initial call. For office relocations, a dedicated project manager is assigned immediately upon confirmation—no intermediaries.
Sample budget breakdown: 2BHK local move (Delhi to Gurgaon)
Here's a worked example of a typical 2BHK residential move from East Delhi (110091) to DLF Phase 5, Gurgaon (122001, ~25 km distance). This demonstrates how line items accumulate to a final all-inclusive cost.

| Wooden crating (bed frame, almirah) | per item | 2 | ₹1,200 | ₹2,400 |
| High-rise surcharge (8th floor loading) | per move | 1 | ₹2,000 | ₹2,000 |
| Fuel & toll (Delhi to Gurgaon) | per move | 1 | ₹1,200 | ₹1,200 |
| Insurance (optional; ₹15 lakh declared value) | per move | 1 | ₹375 | ₹375 |
| Subtotal | ₹16,475 | |||
| GST @ 18% | ₹2,965 | |||
| Total Invoice | ₹19,440 | |||
What the budget includes

- Door-to-door transport via dedicated 16-ft truck (no consolidation).
- Unloading and stacking at destination (ground-floor placement).
- Fuel and all tollway costs (Delhi–Gurgaon expressway, ~25 km).
- GST-compliant invoice with GSTIN 07CFHPS1719A2ZN and audit trail.
- Optional insurance cover up to declared value.
What is NOT included (typical add-ons)
- Positioning of furniture at specific locations within rooms (charged at ₹500–₹1,000 per room).

- Refrigerator or washing machine servicing post-move (₹1,200–₹2,000).
- Damage waiver beyond declared insured value (negotiable per item).
For corporate office moves, line-item transparency is even more critical. A 50-workstation move typically breaks into truck rental, IT asset tracking labour, cable management, server/UPS handling, and compliance documentation—each itemised for audit purposes.
