DHL Express to hike charges by 8.9% in India from Jan

Logistics operator DHL Express on Saturday (September 26, 2026) announced an 8.9% increase in its shipment charges in India from January 1 next year.

The annual price hike enables the company to adjust for some of the increased costs arising from various factors such as inflationary pressures, currency fluctuations, and industry-specific cost developments.

As an internationally integrated business operating in more than 220 countries and territories, DHL Express is influenced not only by local economic conditions but also by developments across global markets, the company said.

"This annual price adjustment enables us to maintain the high level of service and reliability our customers expect while continuing to strengthen the resilience and adaptability of our global operations," said RS Subramanian, senior vice president for South Asia at DHL Express.

International trade continues to create new opportunities for businesses, while supply chains are becoming increasingly interconnected and complex, he added.
