Door-to-door pet transport between Delhi and Pune, with the mode chosen for your pet's breed, age and the season, not for our convenience.
The short answer
Pet relocation from Delhi NCR to Pune takes about 2 hours 15 minutes by air plus a road transfer, or 24–28 hours by escorted train, costing ₹25,000–₹46,000 door-to-door. Limited live-animal capacity at Pune Airport often makes a Mumbai landing plus road transfer the better plan.
Dog transport on this corridor usually means landing at Mumbai and driving, not flying into Pune. PNQ's live-animal capacity is genuinely limited, so a direct booking may simply be refused, and a cancellation leaves few alternatives. DEL–BOM is the densest sector in India. Four extra hours on the expressway buys a far better chance of travelling on the day you planned.
Cat relocation is more often viable direct into PNQ, because a smaller crate is easier to place and in-cabin carriage sidesteps the capacity question entirely. We confirm on your specific sector before quoting rather than after, because this is the corridor where that assumption most often breaks.
Pet transport from Delhi to Pune costs ₹20,000–₹46,000 door to door depending on the mode you choose. Here is every option side by side.
| Mode | Duration | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Air + road | ~2 hr 15 min flight + 4 hr drive | ₹28,000 – ₹46,000 |
| Air direct | ~2 hr 20 min flight | ₹25,000 – ₹42,000 |
| Escorted train | 24–28 hrs | ₹20,000 – ₹32,000 |
Crate, freight, veterinary certificate, permits, both transfer legs and GST appear as separate lines on your quote. If it is not on the sheet, you do not pay it.
On this corridor we usually recommend air via mumbai or direct to pnq. Here's why, mode by mode.
~2 hr 15 min flight + 4 hr drive · ₹28,000 – ₹46,000
Land at BOM, road transfer to Pune in our own van.
~2 hr 20 min flight · ₹25,000 – ₹42,000
Subject to live-animal capacity at PNQ on that sector.
24–28 hrs · ₹20,000 – ₹32,000
Direct trains available; good for anxious pets.
Airlines on this sector
DEL–BOM is the densest sector in India and offers real alternates. DEL–PNQ direct is thinner and live-animal capacity is not guaranteed.

On the road
Our own van on the Mumbai–Pune Expressway leg, four hours.
The difference is who does the driving and the paperwork. Here is what each means on Delhi to Pune specifically.
We collect anywhere in NCR and deliver to your Pune address, including the Mumbai road leg in our own van when we route that way. That is the point: the BOM transfer is four hours of our driving rather than a second booking you have to arrange yourself.
You handle DEL cargo and collect at PNQ or BOM. It saves ₹5,000–₹8,000, but if we are routing via Mumbai it means you organising the expressway leg too, which is rarely worth it.
Generic advice gets pets stuck at counters. These are the things that actually bite on this corridor.
Live-animal capacity at Pune is the constraint nobody discloses until the booking is refused. Ask for it in writing on your specific sector and date, or accept the Mumbai routing from the start.
Landing at BOM and driving four hours looks worse than a direct flight until you weigh a thin PNQ schedule against India's densest sector. We recommend it often, and it is not because it bills more.
The IT townships sit well outside the centre, 60–75 minutes from Pune Airport. We build that into the quoted door-to-door time rather than stopping the clock when the aircraft lands.
Delhi's departure ceiling is the constraint from April to July; Pune's arrival end is mild almost year-round and rarely blocks anything. For snub-nosed breeds the direct train from Hazrat Nizamuddin to Pune Junction is strong. 24–28 Hours, avoiding both the Delhi heat window and the PNQ capacity uncertainty in one decision.
Read the full brachycephalic guideA corridor has two ends, and both of them have weather. These are the windows that actually close.
What bites: Delhi's departure heat ceiling. Pune's arrival end is mild year-round and rarely the constraint.
What we do: Pre-dawn or post-sunset departures from DEL. Routing via BOM helps here because the sector density means more compliant slots to choose from.
What bites: Monsoon on the Mumbai–Pune expressway leg if you route via BOM. Ghat-section visibility, not flooding.
What we do: We time the road transfer for daylight and add an hour to the ghats rather than driving them in poor light with an animal aboard.
Indira Gandhi International (DEL) · New Delhi / Hazrat Nizamuddin / Anand Vihar
Delhi is the only city where we plan around two separate weather windows a year: heat from April to July, fog from late December to January.
Arriving inPune (PNQ) / Mumbai (BOM) · Pune Junction
Pune has no quarantine station. International moves stage through Mumbai, which is 4 hours by road. An inconvenience, not an obstacle, provided it is planned rather than discovered late.
Three things that are true on this corridor specifically, not three things every pet transport company in India claims.
We own the Mumbai–Pune road leg, so the safer routing costs you nothing extra to arrange.
PNQ live-animal capacity is confirmed before quoting, not discovered at booking.
Delivery times to Hinjewadi and Kharadi are quoted from your door, not from the airport.
₹28,000–₹46,000 via Mumbai with a road transfer, ₹25,000–₹42,000 flying direct to PNQ where capacity allows, or ₹20,000–₹32,000 by escorted train. The Mumbai routing costs a little more because it adds a four-hour van leg, and it is frequently still the option we recommend.
