DHL Express Commits to India’s Next Trade Growth Phase with €1 Billion Investment and Green Logistics Focus Under Strategy 2030
“As we conclude 2025, a year marked by global volatility and shifting trade lanes, DHL Express has demonstrated remarkable resilience in navigating a complex macroeconomic landscape. Our global network, combined with deep local expertise, has allowed us to stay agile as trade corridors shift. Our strategic investments in key hubs like Agra, Punjab, and Bangalore reflect our unwavering confidence in India’s trade potential. For us, infrastructure has always been a strong and enduring foundation because resilient trade needs resilient networks. Our roadmap for the next five years is anchored in Strategy 2030, with a clear emphasis on sustainable growth and green logistics to empower emerging markets. As part of this strategy, we have added ‘Green Logistics of Choice’ as our fourth bottom line, making sustainability central to how we measure progress. This focus is reflected in how we expand —from investing in greener facilities and cleaner logistics solutions like GoGreen Plus to enabling our customers to reduce their environmental footprint.
India is one of DHL’s important growth markets globally, and our €1 billion investment commitment reflects that long-term belief. Alongside these investments, we have continued to work closely with industry bodies to strengthen export ecosystems, notably through our partnership with the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) and the Gems & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), this year, to simplify cross-border trade and support Indian exporters.
Looking ahead in 2026, our outlook remains optimistic. While uncertainty continues to shape global trade, it is also creating space for new opportunities and stronger, more diversified supply chains. India is well-positioned to play a far larger role in this next phase of global commerce, and DHL Express intends to be a key enabler of that growth. With our global network and long-term commitment to India, DHL Express is well placed to help shape the country’s next phase of global trade growth through reliable and sustainable logistics.”
