Shipping Cost from Gary, Indiana to New Delhi

From the U.S., it usually costs from $2,200 to $5,600 to haul a vehicle to India. Most cars transported to the area come by way of a shipping container, which can accommodate most standard rides. For larger motors that do not fit in a container, the costs are generally higher.
