The Chennai corridor via Vijayawada and Nellore, around Chennai’s bypass, then south along the coast on the East Coast Road through Mahabalipuram country to the old French town.
Puducherry means JIPMER — the central institute draws referrals from three states, and most of our runs here end at its gates. The ECR final leg is smooth and scenic; the Chennai bypass decision (inner vs outer) is made by the hour of arrival. We also run the reverse leg for Aurobindo-community and tourist medical returns to Hyderabad.

Frequently asked questions
How do JIPMER admissions work for arriving interstate patients?
Carry the referral note and prior records; JIPMER’s casualty receives emergencies around the clock, and planned admissions move faster with the department’s reference number. Our crew hands over directly and knows the campus gates.
How long does an ambulance take from Hyderabad to Puducherry?
About 13–16 hours for the 700 km via NH-65 → NH-16 → Chennai bypass → ECR/NH-32, including patient halts. Ambulances drive steadily for the patient’s comfort — a private car’s time is not the right benchmark.
Can a critical patient travel from Hyderabad to Puducherry by road?
Usually yes, with the right configuration: ICU vehicle, matching crew, oxygen with deep reserve, and en-route hospitals marked. The treating doctor’s travel clearance is the starting point — we screen every case honestly and advise if rail or air would serve better.
How do we get a quotation for this route?
Call +91 99210 86108 or send an enquiry with the patient’s condition and pickup details. We confirm the configuration and provide a written quotation before dispatch.
