Logistics Industry in India Is An Industry That Has Not Achieved Its Much

The logistics industry in India has significant potential for growth but lacks complete utilization of resources. It is valued at $14 billion USD and expected to grow another 9-10% annually due to increased demand from economic growth and new companies. Blue Dart Express Limited is South Asia's premier courier and package distribution company, operating domestically across 25,646 locations and internationally via DHL in over 220 countries. As of 2009, Blue Dart employed over 7,134 people and handled over 77 million domestic and 0.66 million international shipments totaling 267,533 tons that year.
