The cost of packers and movers varies significantly, but I can give you the general price ranges based on the size of your home and the distance of the move.
The most important factors are the house size (volume of goods) and the distance of the move.
General Cost Estimates (All Prices in INR)
Here are the typical estimated costs for shifting, categorized by house size.
Local Shifting (Within the same city, up to \approx 50 km)
Estimated Charges (INR)
1 RK / Studio ?3,000 - ?9,000
1 BHK ?6,000 - ?12,000
2 BHK ?8,500 - ?17,000
3 BHK ?13,000 - ?21,000
4+ BHK / Villa ?16,500 - ?26,000+
Intercity Shifting (City to City)
The cost increases substantially with distance.
House Size (BHK) Short Distance (\approx 100 - 400 km) Long Distance (\approx 1000 - 1700 km)
1 BHK ?8,500 - ?22,000 ?16,000 - ?28,000
2 BHK ?10,500 - ?26,000 ?21,000 - ?37,000
3 BHK ?16,000 - ?30,000 ?24,500 - ?43,000
4+ BHK / Villa ?22,500 - ?35,500 ?30,000 - ?48,500+
Key Factors That Affect the Price
Your final quote will be a combination of these factors:
Volume of Goods (House Size): More items mean more packing material, labor, and a larger transport vehicle (which costs more).
Distance of the Move: Longer distances increase fuel, toll taxes, and transport costs.
Packing Material Quality: High-quality, multi-layered, or specialized packaging for fragile items (like glassware, artwork) will increase the cost.
Labor and Accessibility:
Moving from or to higher floors without a lift increases labor costs.
Difficult access points (narrow staircases, long walk to the truck) also add to the price.
Timing of the Move: Moving during peak seasons (month-end, weekends, summer) is usually more expensive than mid-month or on weekdays.
Additional Services: Any extra service you request will add to the cost, such as:
Transit insurance for your goods.
Vehicle (Car/Bike) transport.
Unpacking and re-assembly services at the destination.
Storage or warehousing.
Taxes and Fees: Tolls, Octroi, and GST are added to the service charge.
To get an accurate price, your best bet is to contact at least 3-5 different movers for a quote, as prices can vary between companies.
