Blue Dart, India's leading express logistics service provider and part of Deutsche Post DHL Group (DPDHL), operates 6 dedicated Boeing757 freighters each with a capacity of 34 tons. These have been operating during the lockdown period across Indian cities enabling essential shipments - medical equipment & pharmaceutical products, reach the first responders in Hospitals & Medical Institutions with the promise of secure and timely deliveries.

In order to provide customers with a solution for their shipping needs during these trying times and to further use our Air Express Logistics service to keep the essential supply chain continuity, Blue Dart Express has reduced its Retail Tariff Prices by 25%. This will be applicable to all local retail customers as well as all MSME's.

Commenting on the same Ketan Kulkarni CMO & Head Business Development said: "Blue Dart's 'FIGHT COVID 19 - PRICE(FC19-P)' is a unique initiative & our duty towards the nation in these times of crisis. We have always stepped up as a "FIRST IN LAST OUT" organisation whenever a disaster has struck the nation. Our aircrafts are the life line of the nation & our nation is grappling with a situation never experienced earlier & this has a widespread impact on the economy. Businesses across sectors and geographies are disrupted due to mobility suspension.

He further added the (FC19-P) is an effective platform to offer a speedy and hassle-free experience, when dispatching & delivering testing kits, reagents, enzymes, medical equipment (ventilators), masks, respirators, surgical masks, gloves, & other items, some of which are manufactured by the MSME sector and delivering them to the point of consumption was a challenge for them.
