Complete moving services in Kolkata
A mover that understands both Kolkatas
There are really two moving cities here. Salt Lake, New Town and Rajarhat run like any modern society market — lifts, gate passes, service slots. But Ballygunge's old mansions, the para lanes of Behala and the walk-ups of north Kolkata are a different craft: narrow turning staircases, no lifts, and furniture that has lived in one flat for forty years. Our teams carry stair padding, rope-lowering gear for balcony descents, and the patience these buildings demand — and the survey prices the stairs honestly, so nothing changes on moving day.
The other Kolkata constant is the clock. Larger trucks face daytime no-entry restrictions inside city limits, so our coordinators plan around them: pack by day and load at night, or run smaller vehicles that shuttle to a truck waiting on the perimeter. Both are routine for us — and both are decided at the survey, not discovered at the gate.
Every moving service, under one roof in Kolkata
Household shifting is the heart of our Kolkata work — from 1 BHK flats in Garia to full family homes in Bhawanipore, packed with numbered inventory and premium materials, with special care for what Kolkata homes actually hold: books by the hundred (small cartons, always), solid-wood and antique furniture (corner protectors and blanket wrap), and instruments like harmoniums and pianos that get custom crating.
Office relocation covers Salt Lake Sector V and the New Town business district over weekends with zero downtime. Cars and bikes travel on hydraulic carriers with photographed condition reports, insured warehousing bridges possession gaps, and transit insurance at 1.5–3% of declared value is available on every move.
Across the city, across the river, across the east
Our teams work Salt Lake, New Town, Rajarhat, Dum Dum, Behala, Ballygunge, Garia, Tollygunge and Howrah daily — and Kolkata is our gateway for the entire east. Moving onward? These cities have their own dedicated pages:
What moving costs in Kolkata
Stair access and vehicle timing are the swing factors here — a third-floor walk-up in north Kolkata takes more labour than a lift tower in New Town, and the survey prices that difference upfront:
| Move type | Typical cost | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 BHK within Kolkata | ₹3,000 – ₹8,000 | Half day |
| 2 BHK within Kolkata | ₹6,000 – ₹12,000 | Most of a day |
| 3 BHK or larger | ₹10,000 – ₹18,000 | Full day |
| Kolkata ↔ Howrah / New Town | ₹4,500 – ₹13,000 | Same day |
| Small office (up to 20 seats) | ₹14,000 – ₹38,000 | Weekend |
| Car transport from Kolkata | ₹6,000 – ₹20,000 | 3–7 days |
Intercity moves from Kolkata — routes we run weekly
As eastern India's hub, Kolkata dispatches in every direction — including the Northeast corridor few national movers run reliably. Realistic 2 BHK pricing:
| Route | 2 BHK typical cost | Transit |
|---|---|---|
| Kolkata → Bhubaneswar / Patna | ₹12,000 – ₹20,000 | 1–2 days |
| Kolkata → Guwahati / Northeast | ₹14,000 – ₹26,000 | 2–3 days |
| Kolkata → Raipur | ₹15,000 – ₹28,000 | 2–3 days |
| Kolkata → Delhi NCR | ₹16,000 – ₹30,000 | 3–4 days |
| Kolkata → Hyderabad / Chennai | ₹17,000 – ₹30,000 | 3–4 days |
| Kolkata → Mumbai / Bengaluru | ₹18,000 – ₹32,000 | 3–5 days |
Kolkata moving, done with local knowledge
Plan around the calendar first: the weeks before and during Durga Puja are Kolkata's month-end-on-steroids — demand peaks, pandal road closures reroute trucks, and slots vanish. If your dates touch late September or October, book 10–15 days ahead; if you can move in the quiet weeks right after Puja, you'll get the year's calmest teams and best availability.
Then plan for the air. Kolkata's humidity is the quiet enemy of long moves and storage: books, wooden furniture and electronics get desiccant pouches and plastic inner-wrap before cartoning, and monsoon-season loads travel double-wrapped under covered tarpaulin. It's the kind of detail that doesn't show on a quote — until the day your bookshelf arrives exactly as it left.
How your Kolkata move runs, step by step
- Free survey — doorstep or video; stairs, lanes and vehicle timing assessed, fixed written quote issued
- Packing day — room-by-room packing with numbered inventory; books in small cartons, wood and antiques blanket-wrapped
- Loading — night loading or shuttle vehicles where no-entry hours apply, planned in advance
- Transit — GPS-tracked vehicle with live updates; Howrah and New Town deliveries same day
- Delivery — inventory verified item by item, furniture reassembled, unpacking on request

How much do packers and movers charge in Kolkata?
Local shifting in Kolkata costs ₹3,000–₹8,000 for a 1 BHK, ₹6,000–₹12,000 for a 2 BHK and ₹10,000–₹18,000 for larger homes, with stair access the main swing factor. Intercity moves from Kolkata range ₹12,000–₹32,000 by distance. Shree Shyam Movers Group fixes your exact price in writing after a free survey.
My building has no lift and narrow stairs — can you still move me?
That's north and central Kolkata's standard condition, and our teams handle it daily: stair padding, extra hands instead of bigger trolleys, and rope-lowering from balconies where staircases won't take large furniture. The survey prices stair labour upfront so your quote stays fixed.
How do Kolkata's truck no-entry hours affect my move?
Larger trucks can't enter many city areas in daytime, so we either pack by day and load at night, or shuttle goods in smaller vehicles to a truck on the perimeter. Your coordinator picks the plan at the survey — it changes the schedule, never the written price.
Do you cover Howrah and New Town?
Yes — Howrah, Salt Lake, New Town and Rajarhat are part of our daily Kolkata circuit, with cross-river and cross-city moves delivering the same day at ₹4,500–₹13,000 for typical homes.
Should I avoid moving during Durga Puja?
Book 10–15 days ahead if your dates fall in the Puja weeks — demand peaks and pandal road closures reroute vehicles. The fortnight right after Puja is the opposite: the year's best availability and calmest moving conditions in Kolkata.
Can you move me from Kolkata to Guwahati or the Northeast?
Yes — the Kolkata–Guwahati corridor is one of our regular weekly routes (₹14,000–₹26,000 for a 2 BHK, 2–3 days), with onward delivery across the Northeast coordinated through our Guwahati operation.
