International Removals to Hyderabad
Reported lorry hours in Hyderabad city and Cyberabad, and what is not yet confirmed
A few short questions. Nothing is sent until you check and confirm.
What hours apply to a removal lorry in Hyderabad city?
Only in set windows, on the rules reported for the city police area. The Hans India and Siasat reported a Commissioner notification on 21 February 2024. Siasat says “Medium goods vehicles, such as DCMs, weighing between 3.5 and 12 tonnes, are allowed entry only from 12 noon to 4 p.m. and between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m.” A removal lorry may fall in that class, depending on its weight, so ask the mover.
The Hans India states the same limit the other way round: “DCM, Eicher, Swaraj Mazda, and any other vehicle classified as N-2 and T-3 are prohibited from 8 am to 12 pm and 4 pm to 9 pm”. For the heaviest class it says “The movement of vehicles with a gross vehicle weight exceeding 10 tonnes is prohibited from 7 am to 11 pm on all the arterial roads in Hyderabad and Secunderabad.”
Do the Cyberabad lorry hours differ from the city ones?
Yes, slightly, and your address decides which applies. Siasat reported on 24 July 2025 that the Cyberabad traffic police ruled that “DCM trucks will be allowed to ply only during off-peak hours, from 11:30 am to 4:00 pm, and also between 10:30 pm and 7:30 am”.
The report links the change to a breakdown: “a DCM truck broke down on the Durgam Cheruvu Cable Bridge”. The city windows above start at noon and 9 pm, and the Cyberabad ones at 11.30 am and 10.30 pm, so the same lorry can be allowed in one police area and not in the other at 11.45 am.
Is there an official Hyderabad or Cyberabad notice?
No. The Hyderabad Traffic Police address did not resolve and the Cyberabad site did not load, so each hour above is a newspaper’s account of a notice. Two of the accounts cover the same February 2024 notification and agree with each other; nothing newer than July 2025 was read.
A removal date is only as safe as the notice behind it, so have the firm quote the current police order and say which police area your street falls in.
Which customs rules cover a Hyderabad shipment?
The 2011 census urban agglomeration of Hyderabad held 7,677,018 people, on the City Population list. No Hyderabad customs procedure was found, which leaves the national rules in the UK to India page and the transfer of residence guide.
A pet moving to this city arrives through one of six permitted gateways, Hyderabad among them, according to the Chennai quarantine office deck; the pet transport page sets out the clearance.
Who arranges lorry access to my Hyderabad street?
Nothing on this was readable, so it is not yet confirmed, and the guide quotes no fee or waiting time.
Ask the building or residents’ association and the firm for the permitted days, the lorry size the gate accepts and whether a lift is reserved.

Questions about moving to Hyderabad
When can a DCM-class lorry enter Hyderabad?
News reports of a February 2024 notice give noon to 4 pm and 9 pm to 8 am for vehicles of 3.5 to 12 tonnes.
The notice itself was not read, so check the current hours with the firm.
Are Cyberabad lorry hours the same as the city ones?
No.
A July 2025 report gives 11.30 am to 4 pm and 10.30 pm to 7.30 am for DCM trucks, so the police area of your address matters.
Which port clears goods for Hyderabad?
Nothing city-specific was found, so the national guidance applies and the firm should name the port and the clearing agent.
