Mumbai, November 21st, 2023 – Blue Dart Express Limited, South Asia’s premier express air, integrated transportation, and distribution logistics company, has announced a ground-breaking partnership with India Post. With this collaboration, Blue Dart introduces automated Digital Parcel Lockers at selected post offices, offering customers an additional delivery method.
This innovation allows consignees to conveniently retrieve their shipments from digital parcel lockers, doing away with the need for personal receipts or signing for a package.

Additionally, deliveries can be collected at any time, and only authorized personnel can access the packages. Blue Dart has teamed up with Podrones, a last-mile technology and parcel locker company, to power this initiative.
On the partnership, Amitabh Singh, Postmaster General, Mails & BD, Maharashtra Circle, says, “Fusing Forces, India Post’s Smart Parcel delivery system (ANVIT) teams up with Blue Dart’s expertise to harness the potential of Smart Parcel technology for redefining the landscape of efficient and reliable logistics solutions.”
