DHL Express, the world’s leading international express services provider, announced a price increase that will take effect on January 1, 2022. Compared to 2021, the average increase in India will be 6.9%.
Prices are adjusted on an annual basis by DHL Express, taking into consideration inflation and currency dynamics as well as administrative costs related to regulatory and security measures. These measures are being regularly updated by national and international authorities in each of the more than 220 countries and territories that DHL Express serves. Depending on local conditions, price adjustments will vary from country to country, and will apply to all customers where contracts allow.

We are always expanding and enhancing our services,” said R.S Subramanian, SVP & Managing Director, DHL Express India. “The annual price adjustment allows us to invest more towards digital tools.
