DHL Express, a German logistics company, has expanded its Faridabad service facility to strengthen its network in the Delhi/National Capital Region (NCR).

According to the express service provider, the expansion of the centre forms part of its investment of €250 million in India since 2017. It also marks DHL Express India’s eighth service centre in the Delhi/NCR region and 53rd in the country.

The 9000-square-feet logistics facility in Faridabad is expected to help DHL Express meet the growing export and import business from banks, garment exporters, automobile industry, and other B2C customers in the region.

John Pearson — DHL Express CEO said: “Even in these volatile times, our well-connected global network, focus on infrastructure, and dedicated people have paved the way for our growth.

“Our recently released DHL Trade Growth Atlas tells us that India is on track to more than double its trade volume growth rate in the next five years, and we are uniquely positioned to support this because of our unrivaled expertise.

“Investments like these in the country will allow us to provide best-in-class service to our customers and make us a reliable partner.”

DHL Express with a network of more than 450 fleet vehicles, 67 daily international and 80 domestic commercial flights, and 33 weekly inter-continental flights offer its customers in India access to 800 cities within the country, apart from a global network.

R.S Subramanian — DHL Express SVP South Asia said: “The Faridabad service center expansion is part of the growth strategy.

“The region has seen a 70% increase in shipment volume over the last three years, necessitating infrastructure expansion to meet rising demand.

“We will continue to focus on being a key trade facilitator for businesses, making it easy for them to do business globally.”
