To support new business partnerships, Blue Dart has also introduced a temporary exemption: customers who sign up between October 1 and December 31, 2025, will not be affected by the upcoming price hike.

Blue Dart Express, a leading logistics and courier services provider in India, announced on Monday that it will implement a General Price Increase (GPI) of 9% to 12% on its shipment rates starting January 1, 2026.

The company said the annual pricing revision is aimed at sustaining high service standards, including speed, reliability, and customer-focused solutions. The rate adjustment comes in response to rising inflation, increased airline operating costs, and ongoing complexities in global supply chains.

According to a company statement, the exact rate of increase will vary depending on the specific services used and the customer’s shipping profile.

To support new business partnerships, Blue Dart has also introduced a temporary exemption: customers who sign up between October 1 and December 31, 2025, will not be affected by the upcoming price hike.

“This annual GPI allows us to invest in cutting-edge technology, expand our network, and further our commitment to environmentally sustainable logistics,” said Balfour Manuel, Managing Director of Blue Dart Express. “By exempting new customers onboarded in the final quarter of this year, we aim to support businesses looking to scale with us despite global headwinds.”

Blue Dart emphasized that it routinely reviews its pricing structure each year to maintain service excellence and support long-term ecosystem growth.
