The offer applies to all Blue Dart retail outlets and includes free home pick-up services.

“With ‘Diwali Express’, we’re enabling customers and businesses to share festive cheer with reliable, on-time deliveries at compelling rates,” said Dipanjan Banerjee, chief commercial officer at Blue Dart. He added that the company’s extensive reach and time-definite services would ensure gifts arrive securely both within India and overseas.

Diwali, known as the Festival of Lights, is one of India’s most widely celebrated holidays and typically drives a sharp increase in consumer spending and the movement of goods, both within the country and among the Indian diaspora abroad.
