Choosing the Right Shipping Carrier for Parcels to India

Choosing the right shipping provider for sending your parcel to India depends on your specific needs. The JUMiNGO calculator helps you compare offers from carriers such as DHL Express, UPS, TNT or FedEx. The cost depends not only on the exact destination within India but also on the parcel's weight and dimensions. Additional options, like express delivery, may also affect pricing. In general, smaller and lighter parcels are less expensive to ship than heavier or bulkier ones. You’ll find more detailed information about each offer in the price calculator’s detailed rate section.

How to Properly Format an Address for a Parcel to India

Despite the country’s large size and distance from France, formatting an address for shipping a parcel to India is relatively straightforward. There are some small differences to keep in mind—such as placing the house or flat number before the street name. The postal code is placed below the city name. Just like with all international shipments, the country name must be written in capital letters and ideally in English.

A typical Indian address should be structured as follows:

Line 1: Recipient’s name
Line 2: Apartment or house number
Line 3: Street name and location
Line 4: Postal code
Line 5: Country

In large cities, you may need to include additional information such as the building number or block name. Here is an example of an Indian address format:

Mrs. Benisha Singh
Flat No. 35
Bldg. No 49,
5, Saraswati School Rd.
Mumbai
400088 INDIA

Postal Codes in India

Due to its high population density and the number of metropolitan areas, India uses a six-digit postal code system. These postal codes are known as PIN (Postal Index Number) codes and are categorized into nine postal zones:

• 1 – (North) Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Chandigarh
• 2 – (North) Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand
• 3 – (West) Rajasthan, Gujarat, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu
• 4 – (West) Goa, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh
• 5 – (South) Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka
• 6 – (South) Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Pondicherry, Lakshadweep
• 7 – (East) Odisha, West Bengal, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, etc.
• 8 – (East) Bihar, Jharkhand
• 9 – Reserved for military postal services

The second digit represents a sub-region. For example, 11 corresponds to Delhi, 40 to Goa, and 78 to Assam. Certain regions have wider ranges, such as West Bengal (70–74) and Maharashtra (40–44). The last three digits help identify the local delivery office.

India is divided into 29 states and 7 union territories. The states are numbered and union territories are labeled with letters A–G.
