The logistics company said the annual price increase is intended to offset higher operating costs and support investments in service quality and its delivery network.
Customers who sign up between October 1 and December 31, 2026, will be exempt from the upcoming price increase, Blue Dart said.
Why is Blue Dart raising prices?
Blue Dart said higher labour and utility costs, along with inflation, have increased its operating expenses.
Dipanjan Banerjee, Chief Commercial Officer, Blue Dart, said the company is trying to manage these costs through higher productivity, network optimisation and greater automation.
“This measured price revision will help us maintain delivery reliability, speed and service quality across our domestic portfolio,” Banerjee said.
The company plans to continue investing in its air and ground network, with a focus on improving efficiency, service quality and technology.
Balfour Manuel, Managing Director, Blue Dart, said the investments are needed as businesses expand across India and into new markets.
“Our annual price revision supports these investments, strengthening our ability to connect businesses across India and deliver the service excellence customers expect from Blue Dart,” Manuel said.
