Blue Dart Express has announced a general price increase (GPI) effective from January 1, 2025. The adjustment will see an average price hike ranging between 9% and 12%, varying according to the type of product and shipping profile, as per the official release from the company. This annual pricing adjustment is aimed at addressing long-term operational costs, which have surged due to inflation and rising input costs in critical areas such as airline operations and infrastructure.
In the official statement, Blue Dart highlighted that the price increase will allow the company to continue offering high-quality, reliable services while maintaining its commitment to seamless and customised deliveries for customers. The GPI also reflects efforts to rationalise costs in light of inflationary pressures.
“As we step into 2025, we remain committed to delivering exceptional, reliable services. This price adjustment is essential for sustaining our operational excellence while continuing to offer solutions centred on the needs of our stakeholders,” said Balfour Manuel, Managing Director of Blue Dart Express.
Additionally, Blue Dart is planning to invest in expanding its network and adopting advanced technologies to enhance service offerings further. Manuel emphasised that these measures are intended to capitalise on new opportunities, ensuring the company can provide even greater value to its customers and stakeholders in the coming year.
With this strategic move, Blue Dart aims to maintain its leading position in the logistics industry while addressing the financial pressures brought about by escalating operational costs.
