Per Km Cost Breakdown — 19ft Truck Example
Let's take a real example: Eicher Pro 3019 (19ft, 16T GVW) running 8,000 km/month on highway routes.
| Expense | Monthly (₹) | Per Km (₹) | % of Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🛢️ Diesel (5 km/l × ₹90) | ₹1,44,000 | ₹18.0/km | 52% |
| 🛣️ Toll (avg ₹380/plaza × 2 trips) | ₹24,000 | ₹3.0/km | 9% |
| 🔧 Tyre wear (₹1.5/km) | ₹12,000 | ₹1.5/km | 4% |
| 💧 DEF/Urea (BS6) | ₹4,000 | ₹0.5/km | 1.5% |
| 👨✈️ Driver salary + batta | ₹25,000 | ₹3.1/km | 9% |
| 💰 EMI (₹55,000/month) | ₹55,000 | ₹6.9/km | 20% |
| 🛡️ Insurance + Permit + Fitness | ₹12,000 | ₹1.5/km | 4.5% |
| TOTAL | ₹2,76,000 | ₹34.5/km | 100% |

Per Km Cost Kaise Kam Karein? — 7 Tips
- Mileage improve karein: Tyre pressure check, AC kam use, speed 60-65 km/h maintain. 0.5 km/l improvement = ₹2/km savings.
- Empty running minimise karein: Return load pehle se book karein. Empty chalana = pure loss.
- Toll-free routes check karein: Kuch routes pe state highway se jaa sakte ho — toll bachta hai.
- Tyre quality pe invest karein: Cheap tyres jaldi ghiste hain. Premium tyres 30-40% zyada chalte hain.
- Service on time karein: Late service = engine strain = zyada diesel consumption.
- Night driving karein: Traffic kam, fuel consumption kam, toll pe discount (kuch jagah).
- Monthly km badhao: Jitna zyada chalogi, per km fixed cost utna kam hoga.
Breakeven Freight Kaise Calculate Karein?
✅ Breakeven Freight Formula:
Minimum Freight = Per Km Cost × Total Km (loaded + empty)
Example: Cost ₹34.5/km × 1000 km (800 loaded + 200 empty) = ₹34,500 minimum freight
Isse neeche freight accept kiya = LOSS
20% profit chahiye? Then ask for: ₹34,500 + 20% = ₹41,400
FAQs
Truck ka per km cost kitna hota hai?
2026 mein, small truck (Tata Ace) ka total cost ₹12-15/km, medium truck (14-19ft) ka ₹28-35/km, aur heavy truck (32ft) ka ₹42-55/km hota hai — sab expenses include karke.
Diesel cost per km kaise calculate karein?
Formula: Diesel Price ÷ Mileage = Diesel Cost/Km. Example: ₹90 ÷ 5 km/l = ₹18/km. Ye sirf diesel hai — total cost 50-60% zyada hota hai.

Bilkul! EMI aapka sabse bada fixed cost hai. Agar ₹55,000 EMI hai aur 8,000 km chalte ho, to EMI ka share ₹6.9/km hai. Ye ignore karne se profit ka galat hisaab hota hai.
