The growth of domestic and international trade created the need for just-in-time fast-track deliveries, which led to the growth of the express delivery services (EDS) industry. The EDS industry provides integrated door-todoor transport of documents and products and plays an important role in connecting enterprises, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), to the global value chains. This report presents how EDS can support India in achieving its growth targets as it embarks upon its journey towards Amrit Kaal – or India @ 2047. It identifies the regulatory, infrastructure, technology and manpower related barriers and makes recommendations on how to develop India as an express delivery hub, attract investments, and increase the contribution of the sector to the economy. The report is based on (a) secondary data and information analysis (b) 15 key informant interviews (KIIs) and stakeholder consultations.
