Global courier groups may sue over India post changes

Posted by | Apr 25, 2006 | |

Global courier companies including DHL and Federal Express will take legal action against India’s postal authority if it succeeds in winning amendments to the country’s postal laws that they fear could shut down some courier businesses. The courier companies said they were “shocked and surprised” by what they called “dramatic changes” proposed by India’s department of posts, which wants to create a new postal regulator and charge a levy on courier company revenues to pay for publicly run services to remote areas. The postal department is also seeking to redefine what constitutes a “letter” in a long-heralded reform to India’s 108-year-old postal service laws. This would in effect impose a state monopoly on the fastest growing segment of the courier industry.
