Blue Dart Express Limited, part of the DHL Group, on Monday announced its General Price Increase (GPI), effective from January 1st, 2025. In a regulatory filing, the company said that the average price increase will be in the range of 9 per cent to 12 per cent, depending on product variabilities and the shipping profile.
Blue Dart conducts a comprehensive annual review of its pricing structure and this decision, it said, ensures the continued provision of quality service while fostering sustainable ecosystem collaboration. The pricing adjustments for 2025, which include inflationary adjustments and cost rationalization, are designed to partly cover spiralling long-term costs, such as rising input costs to operations, including but not limited to airline operating costs and infrastructure costs, while also supporting customers with customized and seamless deliveries.
Balfour Manuel, Managing Director of Blue Dart, said, “As we step into 2025, we remain committed to delivering exceptional, reliable services. This price adjustment is essential for sustaining our operational excellence while continuing to offer solutions centered on the needs of our stakeholders. In conjunction with our annual price adjustment, we are also mobilizing investments to expand our network, adopt the latest technologies, and enhance our service offerings. We are primed to capitalize on new opportunities and deliver even greater value to our customers and stakeholders.”
As the trade facilitator for organizations in key sectors such as e-commerce, healthcare, automobiles, consumer electronics, and BFSI (banking, financial services, and insurance), Blue Dart continues to set industry standards. The company’s ongoing expansion of its electric vehicle (EV) fleet reflects its commitment to sustainability and reducing its carbon footprint. Additionally, Blue Dart is also harnessing drone technology for commercial use in the logistics sector.
