India Post Offices in Ahmadabad, Gujarat

Stretch a map of this district and the postal network reaches a long way, from the dense city core out to farming villages on the edges. In total there are 441 post offices in Ahmadabad spread across 85 PIN codes. Two of these are head offices, 124 are sub offices, and 314 are branch offices, the small village counters that still account for roughly seven in ten of all the offices here.

The Sabarmati area carries the heaviest load by far, with city neighbourhood counters serving spots like Amraiwadi. Push outward and the offices thin into the rural talukas: Aslali on the Daskroi side, Chaloda toward Dholka, and Changodar over near Sanand all keep their own counters, while village offices handle the daily post at places such as Fatehvadi, Bakrol-Badrabad, Chankheda and Ambli.

These sub and branch offices feed up to the Navrangpura head office (PIN 380009), which keeps mail moving consistently whether it starts on a city street or a village lane. To examine a single area, the Sabarmati post office directory and the Daskroi area listings set out every office, and the Gujarat post office hub ties the whole state together.

If you’re posting from one of the outlying villages, keep in mind that branch offices tend to run short, single-counter hours, often with just one person at the desk, morning is the safe window rather than the tail end of the day, when a counter may already have shut. Most counters open around 9:00, though the exact opening and closing times vary from one place to the next. Not sure which code an address falls under? The PIN code finder covers the full range, from 380001 in the city out to 380006 and the 382-series towns beyond.

For sending documents and parcels in a hurry, the larger city offices handle Speed Post and parcel booking through the day, and you can estimate a charge on the Speed Post rate calculator before you go. If your post is bound elsewhere in the state, the Anand district directory is another district in Gujarat. Once an item is booked, you can track your Speed Post or parcel here with the receipt number.
