Delhivery is India's largest fully-integrated logistics company and the default carrier for a large share of Indian e-commerce — if you've ordered from a D2C brand or a smaller online seller, there's a good chance your parcel travels with Delhivery at some point even if the platform doesn't say so upfront.
Finding Your Delhivery Waybill Number
Delhivery shipments use a 13-digit waybill number. You'll find it in your order confirmation email or shipping SMS, and it's specific enough that TrackParcel auto-detects it as a Delhivery shipment without you needing to select the carrier manually.
How to Track a Delhivery Shipment
Delhivery's own tracking page works fine but is built around its business dashboard, so it can feel cluttered if you just want a quick status check. Paste your 13-digit waybill number into TrackParcel for the same live data in a simpler view, with no login required.
What Each Tracking Status Actually Means
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Pickup Scheduled | Delhivery has been assigned to collect the parcel but hasn't yet |
| In Transit | The parcel is moving between Delhivery facilities |
| Reached at Delivery Hub | The parcel has arrived at the facility nearest your address |
| Out for Delivery | A rider is on the way to you, usually with same-day delivery |
| Delivered | Confirmed delivery — Delhivery typically requires an OTP sent to the recipient's phone |
| RTO (Return to Origin) | The parcel is being sent back to the seller, usually after a failed delivery or a return request |
The OTP Step Trips Up a Lot of People
Delhivery frequently requires the recipient to share a one-time password with the delivery rider before handing over the parcel — this OTP is sent by SMS to the phone number on the order, not to whoever happens to answer the door. If you're not the person who placed the order, or your number changed after ordering, ask the rider to wait while the actual account holder retrieves the OTP rather than refusing the delivery outright.
Why a Shipment Might Bounce Back to "In Transit"
It's common to see a Delhivery shipment reach "Out for Delivery," then drop back to "In Transit" the next day. This almost always means a delivery attempt was made and didn't succeed — the recipient wasn't available, the address needed a second look, or the OTP wasn't provided in time — and the parcel has been rescheduled rather than lost. Delhivery typically allows a few delivery attempts before a shipment is marked for return to the seller.
If Your Shipment Shows "RTO"
Seeing RTO doesn't necessarily mean something went wrong on your end — a good share of RTOs are seller-initiated (a cancelled order, an out-of-stock swap, or a buyer-requested return) rather than failed delivery attempts. If you were expecting the parcel and see RTO unexpectedly, contact the seller directly — Delhivery is executing the return instruction it was given, not making an independent decision to send your order back.
