What is the story about?
Logistics company Blue Dart Express Limited on Monday (September 29) announced a General Price Increase (GPI) effective January 1, 2026, with shipment prices set to rise by an average of 9% to 12%. The increase will vary depending on product factors and each customer’s shipping profile.
The company said the adjustment follows its annual review of the pricing structure, undertaken to ensure continued service excellence and strengthen collaboration across its ecosystem.
Blue Dart noted that the revision is necessary to uphold its high standards of speed, reliability, and customer-centric solutions while addressing inflationary pressures, rising airline costs, and the complexities of global supply chains.
As part of efforts to support business growth, Blue Dart clarified that new customers who sign up between October 1 and December 31, 2025, will not be impacted by the price increase.

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."
The latest GST cuts slash freight tax to 5%, reduce GST on trucks and buses from 28% to 18%, and lower third-party insurance on goods carriages from 12% to 5%. For logistics companies, this means reduced operating costs, cheaper fleet expansion, and simpler compliance with fewer slabs.
