Logistics services provider Blue Dart, a part of Deutsche Post DHL Group, will invest ₹200 crore in expansion including widening reach, upgrading technology and infrastructure.
The company aims to reach 19,100 pincodes by December, riding on a rising demand for deliveries in tier-II, -III cities and towns. Through the initiative, the goal is to reach every Indian home, further strengthening the company’s position in express logistics for B2B and B2C sectors, Blue Dart said in a statement.
“We are expanding our network to reach every Indian home by December 2018 to enable fast, efficient and reliable deliveries for both B2B and B2C customers. We are well on our way to cover all pincodes in India, with already 17,677 pincodes, 100 per cent pincode coverage in 16 States and Union Territories,” Anil Khanna, Managing Director, said.
As part of the expansion, the company has opened 939 new facilities (called New Blue Dart Offices) in rural and remote locations.
