Delhivery expands global reach with new economy air parcel service

Integrated logistics services provider Delhivery, in addition to the company’s existing Express Air Parcel service, has announced the launch of Delhivery International, an economy air parcel service, designed to make global exports affordable, simple and more reliable for SMEs and enterprise customers across India. 

“Many SMEs face hurdles in cross-border logistics due to high international shipping costs, further compounded by complex and geography-specific documentation requirements, unpredictable delivery timelines and a pervasive lack of shipment visibility. Delhivery International, available through the Delhivery One platform, addresses these issues by providing our MSME customers a streamlined booking experience with multiple shipping options, real-time rates and end-to-end visibility from pickup to final delivery,” said Vani Venkatesh, Chief Business Officer at Delhivery.

Venkatesh said by leveraging Delhivery’s domestic network, the service ensures that MSMEs, even in remote clusters of India, can access international markets. "Enabling exports is a massive catalyst for the growth of Indian MSMEs. With Delhivery International, we are removing the friction from global trade for our customers,” said Sahil Barua, MD & CEO, Delhivery. 

Earlier this week, the company completed testing of its autonomous Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) drone technology at Deoria, Uttar Pradesh. The showcase was executed by Delhivery Robotics India Private Limited, a subsidiary of Delhivery, which is designing and manufacturing the Logistics Drone.

The highlight of the event was a live demonstration where a Delhivery drone, carrying medicines, completed a pre-programmed 12km flight path autonomously. The mission, which would typically take up to 40 minutes by road due to infrastructure challenges, was completed in approximately 12 minutes, highlighting the potential of aerial logistics to transform last-mile delivery in India. 

The drone showcased was part of Delhivery’s prototype drone fleet being developed using proprietary technology, designed to operate in challenging terrains and weather conditions. Capable of carrying payloads up to 5 kg over distances of 60-90 km on a single charge, the aircraft features a hybrid design—taking off vertically like a helicopter and flying horizontally like a plane for maximum efficiency. 

Last month, Delhivery reported a strong start to the festive season, posting a profit, excluding integration costs, of ₹59 crore in Q2 FY26 (July-September), a sharp rise from ₹10 crore (0.4% margin) in the year-ago period. The company posted over 160% year-on-year EBITDA growth in Q2 FY26, while its revenue from services (excluding Ecom Express) rose 16% YoY to ₹2,546 crore, compared with ₹2,190 crore in Q2 FY25.

Amid the development, shares of Delhivery closed 4.25% up at ₹414.95 on the NSE today.
