Blue Dart Express to increase shipment prices by 9-12% starting January 2026; check details

Blue Dart Express on Monday said that it will increase the average shipment price in the range of 9% to 12% starting January 1, 2026.

The general price increase (GPI) will depend on product variabilities and the customer’s shipping profile, the transportation and distribution company said in a regulatory filing.

However, customers signing up between October 1 and December 31, 2025, will not be impacted by the price rise, it added.

“In line with its annual practice, Blue Dart undertakes a comprehensive review of its pricing structure to ensure continued service excellence while fostering sustainable ecosystem collaboration,” the statement said.

The logistics major cited inflationary pressures, escalating airline costs, and complexities in the global supply chain as the major reasons for the pricing adjustment, adding that the price increase is essential to maintain its “high standards of speed, reliability, and customer-centric solutions”.

Commenting on the general price increase, Balfour Manuel, Managing Director at Blue Dart Express, said: “At Blue Dart, our commitment has always been to deliver excellence, building a future-ready logistics ecosystem. The General Price Increase enables us to continue investing in advanced technology, greener logistics, and network expansion, ensuring that our customers experience unmatched reliability and speed.”

“We will exempt all customers onboarded between October and December 2025, hereby reaffirming our promise to support businesses in scaling seamlessly with us, even amidst global challenges,” Manuel added.
