Silchar sits in Z5, the outermost band on our card, on the DNG routing. Air clears in 3–4 days for ₹553 a kilo. Road takes 9–10 days — as long as any surface schedule on our card — so on this lane the tier decision is really a decision about patience.
DTDC's Z5 figures for this destination. The card quotes the lane against pincode 788736 — a Barak Valley code rather than a Silchar town one — so we always confirm your exact delivery pincode before booking.

Rates for Silchar (pincode 788736), DTDC service DNG. Billed weight is the greater of actual weight and volumetric weight (L × W × H ÷ 5000). Surface and heavier air slabs carry a 3 kg minimum. Full rate card and how billing works →
Silchar is the far end of our network: 2,900 km, zone Z5, service DNG. Air is the sensible way to get there and the schedule is better than the distance suggests — 3–4 days on Standard at ₹553 for the first kilo, 3 days on Premium.
Surface is where this lane earns its reputation. Nine to ten days, overland the entire way. It is not a slightly slower service, it is a fortnight-shaped commitment, and the first kilo costs ₹674 — more than the air rate, because road bills a 3 kg minimum. For anything light, Surface is worse on both counts.
Road only argues for itself in bulk: ₹1,124 against ₹1,700 at 5 kg, ₹2,247 against ₹3,400 at 10 kg, ₹11,237 against ₹17,000 at 50 kg. Real savings — but ask the receiver whether ten days works before you take them.
Premium is the tier to watch on this lane. At 1 kg it is ₹813 against Standard’s ₹553 and commits to three days rather than three-to-four. Go heavier and it turns poor value fast: at 3 kg it is ₹2,080 against ₹1,020, and at 10 kg ₹6,518 against ₹3,400. The Premium sheet here does not track the Z5 parcel scale, so the further up the table you go, the less sense it makes.
Documents have a quirk that saves people money once it is pointed out. The Standard document scale for this lane has no 500 g row — it starts at 1 kg, ₹553. The Premium document scale does have one, at ₹496. So a light envelope is cheaper on the Premium product than on the Standard one, and faster with it. Heavier files flip back: 3 kg of paper is ₹1,475 Standard against ₹2,080 Premium. We check both scales before writing the docket.
Silchar town runs through the 7880xx series; the wider Barak Valley uses 7887xx codes, including the one this rate is quoted against.

Three to four days on Standard and three on Premium, both flown. Surface is scheduled at nine to ten days because it travels the entire way by road.
Not for small parcels. One kilo is ₹674 by road against ₹553 by air, and it arrives about a week later. Road starts paying from roughly 5 kg.
The Premium document scale, at ₹496 for 500 g. The Standard document scale on this lane has no 500 g row — it begins at ₹553 for 1 kg.
Usually not. At 10 kg Premium is ₹6,518 against ₹3,400 on Standard for one day's difference. The Premium sheet does not follow the Z5 scale as weight rises.
788736, which is a Barak Valley code rather than a Silchar town one. The Z5 band covers the area, but we confirm the exact delivery pincode before booking.
