Shifting from Delhi to Mumbai is not just a change in location—it's a transition between two major cultural and economic hubs of India. Whether you’re relocating for a job, business, education, or family reasons, an interstate move requires careful planning, execution, and the support of experienced professionals.
At OM International Packers & Movers, we specialize in long-distance and interstate relocations. Here’s everything you need to know to make your move from Delhi to Mumbai smooth, organized, and stress-free.
1. Understand the Distance and Timeline
The distance between Delhi and Mumbai is around 1,400 kilometers, and it usually takes 3–5 days for household goods to be transported, depending on:
- Traffic conditions
- Road permits and tolls
- Weather and season
- The type of moving vehicle used (shared vs. dedicated)
OM International provides real-time updates and estimated delivery timelines, so you’re always informed throughout the journey.
2. Choose the Right Packers & Movers
An interstate move is complex. You need a moving company that:
- Is licensed for interstate transport
- Provides insured services
- Has experience with long-haul logistics
- Offers transparent pricing and paperwork
OM International Packers & Movers has a strong network across India, including both Delhi and Mumbai, which ensures consistent service and on-ground support in both cities.
3. Get a Pre-Move Survey Done
Before finalizing your booking, request a pre-move survey—physical or virtual. This helps the moving company:
- Assess the volume of goods
- Identify fragile or bulky items
- Understand floor access and parking space
- Recommend the right packing materials and vehicle size
Based on this survey, we provide a customized quote and timeline—no hidden costs or surprises later.
4. Proper Packing is Essential
When moving long-distance, the risk of damage increases due to multiple handlings, road bumps, and long hours of transit.
At OM International, we use:
- Premium-grade materials: bubble wrap, stretch film, corrugated sheets, foam corners
- Double-layer packing for fragile items like glassware, artwork, electronics
- Special crating for high-value or sensitive equipment
Good packing is your first defense against transit damage—and we don’t cut corners.
5. Transit Insurance Is a Must
No matter how careful the team is, accidents can happen—especially on long-distance routes. That’s why transit insurance is crucial.
We help you:
- Evaluate the value of your belongings
- Choose from comprehensive or basic coverage
- File a claim (if needed) with complete documentation support
The cost of insurance is minimal compared to the peace of mind it offers during your Delhi-to-Mumbai shift.
6. Keep Important Items with You
While the movers handle your household items, keep your essential personal belongings with you, including:
- IDs and documents (Aadhar, PAN, property papers)
- Medicines
- Laptop and chargers
- Jewelry or cash
- A couple of outfits and toiletries
We also recommend preparing a “first-night box” with daily essentials, so you’re not scrambling on your first day in Mumbai.
7. Temporary Storage May Be Needed
In some cases, your new home or office in Mumbai may not be ready when your belongings arrive. This is where secure warehousing and storage comes in handy.
OM International offers:
- Short- and long-term storage
- CCTV-monitored facilities
- Clean, moisture-free units
- Easy retrieval whenever you need your items
This flexibility makes your move more manageable and stress-free.
8. Coordinate Society or Building Rules in Advance
Many residential complexes in both Delhi and Mumbai have specific rules for moving in/out:
- Time restrictions
- Gate passes
- Security deposit for lifts or corridors
- Vehicle entry permissions
Coordinate these with your movers and society manager to avoid delays or fines.
9. Confirm Unpacking & Rearranging Services
Upon arrival, the last thing you want is to struggle with unpacking. Ask your movers if they provide unpacking and setup assistance.
OM International offers optional services like:
- Furniture reassembly
- Appliance placement
- Carton removal and cleanup
We help you settle in faster so you can enjoy your new space right away.
10. Stay in Touch with the Moving Coordinator
Throughout the move, you’ll be assigned a dedicated move coordinator who will:
- Track the vehicle in real-time
- Update you on arrival schedules
- Assist with documentation
- Address any concerns during the journey
This single point of contact ensures a smooth communication flow from start to finish.
