Blue Dart To Hike Shipment Charges by up to 12% From Next Year

Mumbai: Blue Dart Express on Wednesday announced a 9-12 per cent increase in its shipment charges in India, effective January 1 next year.

Blue Dart reviews its pricing annually to account for changes in operating costs.

” The price increase across Blue Dart’s domestic portfolio will range from 9-12 per cent, depending on the product and customer shipping profile,” the company said in a statement.

The revision reflects changes in operating costs and supports continued investment in service quality and network capabilities, it said.

Customers who sign up between October 1 and December 31, 2026, will be exempt from the upcoming price increase, Blue Dart said.

As India’s economy grows and businesses expand into new markets, reliable logistics remains essential to their competitiveness.

Meeting this demand requires sustained investment in infrastructure, technology and network capacity amid an evolving global trade environment, said Balfour Manuel, Managing Director, Blue Dart.

“Our annual price revision supports these investments, strengthening our ability to connect businesses across India,” he said.

Rising labour and utility costs, alongside inflationary pressures, continue to put pressure on operating expenses. We are mitigating these pressures through productivity improvements, network optimisation and greater automation, while enhancing the customer experience.

“This measured price revision will help us maintain delivery reliability, speed and service quality across our domestic portfolio,” said Dipanjan Banerjee, Chief Commercial Officer, Blue Dart.
