Blue Dart Express, a leading courier services provider, announced on Monday that it will increase shipment prices by 9-12% starting January 1, 2025. The company stated that the price hike is necessary to offset rising long-term operational costs, which include inflationary pressures and escalating expenses such as airline operating costs and infrastructure investments.

This General Price Increase (GPI), set to take effect at the beginning of 2025, will vary between 9% and 12%, depending on the type of product and shipping profile. Blue Dart emphasized that this adjustment is essential to maintaining its high service standards while supporting a sustainable business ecosystem.

The company also highlighted that, alongside the price increase, it is making strategic investments to expand its network, adopt new technologies, and enhance its service offerings. “This price adjustment is crucial for sustaining our operational excellence and continuing to provide solutions focused on the needs of our stakeholders,” said Balfour Manuel, Managing Director at Blue Dart.

These measures aim to ensure that Blue Dart can continue delivering top-tier services while adapting to the evolving demands of the logistics industry.
