“Meeting this demand requires sustained investment in infrastructure, technology and network capacity amid an evolving global trade environment,” Manuel said. He added that the annual price revision would support investments to strengthen Blue Dart's ability to connect businesses across India.
The company said the pricing revision comes amid rising operating costs and the need to maintain delivery speed, reliability and service quality.
