Mumbai: Blue Dart Express has unveiled a sweeping new delivery trends report, showcasing India’s fast-evolving logistics footprint. Titled India on the Move 2025, the maiden annual outlook highlights a year
defined by record shipments, extreme conditions, and surging demand across cities, hills, and digital platforms.
Peak days set new records
On its busiest day in July 2025, Blue Dart moved over 14,000 tonnes of cargo—double its daily average. In total, 47 million parcels were delivered securely, enough to wrap India’s coastline several times. During 20 high-traffic days, shipment volume surged 2X within 24 hours, pushing the network to new operational highs.
India covers 2 billion km
The logistics footprint was as staggering as it was swift—Blue Dart clocked over 2 billion kilometres on road alone in 2025. That’s equivalent to circling the Earth 50,000 times or making 2,600 round trips to the Moon. At the highest point, deliveries reached Leh, Ladakh at 3,500 metres; at the coldest, vaccines were shipped at –196°C.
Tier-2 towns lead growth
More than 60% of new activations came from Tier-2 cities, revealing a demand surge from small businesses, direct-to-consumer brands, and emerging entrepreneurs. Digital shipping accounts could be opened in just 90 seconds, fuelling faster business launches in non-metro regions.
Cold-chain and care-first
From insulin and plasma to heart valves and cell therapies, Blue Dart’s specialized cold-chain carried India’s most sensitive cargo. With logistics now a critical part of healthcare and commerce, the company’s infrastructure—spanning 399,000 sq. metres—proved central to maintaining nationwide speed and safety.
