DHL Qatar unveils 24-hour service to India
DHL Express recently launched the “India Next Day” service, the first of its kind in Qatar, delivering shipments, to and from, three destinations in India within 24 hours.
“India Next Day” will deliver packages to Mumbai, New Delhi and Chennai in record time. The improved services cut lead times and shipment efficiency for individual and corporate clients requiring urgent express delivery.
Commenting on the launch of the new service, David Wilson, DHL Express Country Manager, Qatar, said: “There are a growing number of businesses originating from India and setting up operations in Qatar. DHL’s improved services are designed as a direct response to the demands of the market to quickly, and efficiently complete an increasing number of logistical transactions to the main economic centres of India. We constantly look for innovative, customer-oriented solutions, such as ‘India Next Day’, to better cater to our customers needs.”
According to the Federation of the Indian Export Organisations, there are five million Indians living and working in the GCC. In Qatar alone, Indians account for more than 18 per cent of the total population of the country. India’s total trade with GCC countries has witnessed a fourfold increase in the last five years.
