DHL Express opens new service centre

DHL Express has expanded its Gujarat operations with the launch of a new service centre in Vadodara. The 8,500 sq. ft. facility caters to Vadodara city and the surrounding areas of Savli, Halol, Waghodia, Por, and Padra covering a radius of approximately 45 km. R.S. Subramanian, President & Senior Country Manager, DHL Express India, said, “For DHL, the state of Gujarat represents a huge growth opportunity. Our continuing investments in Ahmedabad, the recent facility in Surat and now this new service facility at Vadodara – are testimonies to its potential. Vadodara is also strategically located to take advantage of the developing golden quadrilateral highway network that will connect Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai and Delhi.”

The service center has been set up to focus purely on international shipments, and will offer extended cut off times for the pick-up of documents and parcels, which will give customers more time to handover shipments, all within the committed transit time. It will offer real time checkpoint visibility of shipments and reduced transit time for inbound shipments with a sameday delivery commitment.
