India Post Offices in Surendranagar, Gujarat

Mail in this corner of Saurashtra travels across a wide, mostly rural stretch, and the postal map reflects that. There are 303 post offices in Surendranagar district, divided among 33 PIN codes that fan out over ten talukas. Only 1 of those offices is a head office; the rest are 28 sub offices and a striking 274 branch offices, which tells you how much of the network is built for villages rather than big towns.

The district covers a lot of ground, and the offices spread accordingly. The Dasada taluka post offices form the largest single group, with the Wadhwan area network and the Dhrangadhra and Limbdi areas not far behind. Everything ties back to the Surendranagar head post office at PIN 363001, where the sub and branch offices send their accounts and dispatch. Towns such as Dhrangadhra (363310), Limbdi (363421) and Lakhtar (363775) each run their own offices, while Dudhrej sits under PIN 363040.

With branch offices making up nine in every ten counters, a lot of the service is delivered by small village units. Spots like Bhensjal, Danawada, Bharad and Ankewaliya are reached this way. These branch offices often keep short working hours, so it pays to post early in the day rather than turning up in the late afternoon and finding the shutter down. For Registered Post or anything heading overseas through international EMS, the sub offices and the Surendranagar head office handle those bookings reliably.

Opening times are something to plan around. Many offices in the district begin the day at about 10 in the morning, though the precise hours differ from place to place. In a district where most counters are village branches, that variation matters more than it would in a city, so a quick check before you travel saves a wasted trip. With ten talukas to its name and the offices spread fairly thin, having the head office at the centre keeps dispatch from outlying areas moving in one direction.

Looking up a specific address is easy with the PIN code finder, and before you send a parcel the postage calculator will estimate cost and time. The wider Gujarat directory and the Amreli district pages are there if you want to compare another district in Gujarat.
