DHL to invest euro 1 billion in India

Major infrastructure developments include: first DHL Health Logistics hub for DHL supply chain India in Bhiwandi, India’s largest low-emission integrated operating facility for Blue Dart in Bijwasan, first automatic sorting centre for DHL Express India in Delhi, fifth DHL IT Services Center in Indore, electric vehicle (EV) and battery logistics centre of excellence (COE) in Chennai and Mumbai and the largest low-emission integrated ground hub for Blue Dart in Haryana

“Global trade is facing headwinds, but we remain confident in India’s dynamic market. The country’s diversification strategy and business-friendly policies provide a solid foundation for long-term investments. With our investment program of around euro 1 billion, we are expanding reliable and more sustainable logistics solutions for our customers in India,” Meyer said.

According to DHL’s Global Connectedness Tracker (GCT), global trade remained resilient despite headwinds from tariffs. While negotiations with the US continue, India’s combined merchandise and services exports grew 6.18 per cent from April to August 2025.

“DHL’s GCT also showed goods traversed the longest average distance on record during the first half of 2025. The average distance of goods trade in India is also expected to reach 6,190 kilometers in 2025 (2024: 6,090 kilometers), as reflected in the growth of India’s exports to 24 countries spread across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa and the Americas,” DHL said. These countries include, but are not limited to: Brazil, Belgium, Canada, Egypt, Germany, Iraq, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Oman, Russia, South Korea, Tanzania, Thailand, UAE and Vietnam.

“India’s trade diversification strategy is starting to pay dividends as we see increased trade to a wider range of markets. With our presence in 220 countries and territories, DHL Group is well positioned to support this momentum,” said R.S. Subramanian, SVP – South Asia and Managing Director, India, DHL Express.

“As supply chains evolve to become more resilient, they also become more complex – from new supplier ecosystems to customs declarations. Our certified logistics experts and digital tools such as MyGTS help customers simplify these challenges to keep their businesses moving forward,” he said.
