If you are currently using Blue Dart Express services, any new pricing structure will apply to your shipments beginning January 2026, under the terms of your existing agreement. However, if you are in the process of becoming an account customer between October 1 and December 31, 2025, the company's pricing increase will not apply to shipments booked during this period.
This strategy is designed to support new business opportunities while allowing existing businesses to proceed normally.
