VADODARA, India - Nov. 6, 2017 - PRLog -- DHL through its Subsidiary Blue Dart Express is investing USD 75 million to strengthen its operation to meet the fast growing demand of E-commerce logistics services in India. This investment will go into the expansion of its air hubs in Delhi and Mumbai, which are part of its network of 13 air hubs in India.

According to Recent published Report of Bonafide Research "India E-Commerce Logistics Market Outlook, 2022" Major Giant, DHL is planning to introduce its newly developed drone, Parcelcopter  for last mile delivery services in India after getting necessary clearance. Indian clients will see a Blue Dart DHL parcelcopter or drone flying around anytime soon. Company has successfully completed its trial run in Germany.

DHL e-commerce has been making sustained investments and innovative solutions in India over the years through Blue Dart Express. In 2015, it launched Parcel Locker in Gurgaon to enable more choice and convenience for consumers to collect their shipments. Other innovations include Smart Trucks, which uses technology to help vehicles overcome in urban logistics challenges and mobile wallets to offer secure and streamlined cash on delivery solutions convenient transactions for e-commerce consumers.

In current scenario Ecommerce focus LSPs are doing better than traditional LSPs except Blue Dart DHL. Blue Dart is a leader in express and integrated transportation, distribution and logistics space.  It has recognised the far reaching scope of e-tailing and has invested heavily in technology and infrastructure to create differentiated delivery services, quality services and customised solutions for clients. On other side, e-commerce focus LSPs such as Delhivery, E-com Express, Holisol and others are more keen, innovative and nimble than their traditional counterparts but are still building their capabilities. These players have been improving their operating assets by adding fleet of commercial vehicles, and franchise networks etc. Investment in E-commerce focus LSPs by global investors has to be bigger assets for the companies. This funding is essential to increase best last mile reach in the country and servicing the maximum number of pin codes, serviceability and coverage which is biggest challenges for these E-commerce focus LSPs. It is expected that optimistic traditional player FedEx will come up with more innovative strategy in upcoming years

Recently, India aviation ministry has proposed a policy to allow commercial use of these unmanned aerial vehicles (Drone). The draft policy classified drones into five segments on the basis of weight from 250 grams to over 150 kilograms for commercial use; most of these will have to be registered with the aviation regulator. According to the aviation ministry plans, Drone in nano category - weighing up to 250 grams and those operated by government agencies would not require permit.

Category of Drone  Weight
NANO  250 grams
MICRO  250 grams to 2 kg
MINI  2 kg to 25 kg
SMALL  25 kg to 150 kg
LARGE  over 150 kg

Amazon e-commerce giant Amazon has already designed a system and filed a patent application in India for exclusive rights on multi-scale fiducially. Prime air using drones to deliver packages to customers within 30 minutes of placing an order. On other side, Google and other tech giants are also working on drone technologies to expand its utility. The scenario in E-commerce Logistics and market will be changed in future as drone will be used for parcel delivery. Funding E-commerce logistics platform E-com express and Delhivery have chance to adopt new technologies and implement the technological changes in parcel delivery to compete with traditional logistics players. If E-commerce focuses LSPs and other traditional LSPs, not edge in this range will lose market share in E-commerce logistics market in future.
