NH65, NH16: the Pune–Kolkata road reference
Between the two local stages, the conventional trunk reference is Pune → Solapur → Humnabad → Hyderabad → Vijayawada → Visakhapatnam → Bhubaneswar → Kharagpur → Kolkata on NH65, NH16.
The reference passes Maharashtra → Karnataka → Telangana → Andhra Pradesh → Odisha → West Bengal; any feeder transfer is a separate handover, not a border depot implied by this page.
With the named waypoints retained, the example road length is around 2,075 km (cross-country, 1,600+ km). Allow for any local collection and delivery transfers as well as the trunk movement. Check which stages the team includes when quoting the transit estimate.
