NH48: the Bengaluru–Pune road reference
Between the two local stages, the conventional trunk reference is Bengaluru → Chitradurga → Hubballi → Belagavi → Kolhapur → Pune on NH48.
The reference passes Karnataka → Maharashtra; 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 850 km (mid-haul, 350–900 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.
