DHL opens its first service center in Madhya Pradesh

Nov 14, 2016: DHL, express services provider, has invested in the industrial hub of Madhya Pradesh as it opens its first facility in Indore. This service centre will cater to Indore and its nearby towns such as Dewas and Pithampur - a major Special Economic Zone (SEZ) and one of the largest hubs for the manufacturing industry in the country.

The facility was inaugurated by RS Subramanian, senior vice president & country manager, DHL Express India along with Tejal Desai, director of TGW knives. The service centre is in the heart of the city and close to the airport. Covering an approximate radius of 15 kilometre, this will reduce the transit time for the import and export of shipments. Additionally, the service centre’s proximity to the airport will warrant early deliveries and accommodate to later cut offs times.

Speaking on the occasion, Subramanian, said, “We are committed to creating value for our customers. Indore is a key market and a chosen smart city. As a major commercial and manufacturing hub, we see a strong growth potential. In fact, we project a strong double digit growth in our annual shipments year-on-year. The centre will also cater to nearby industrial hubs such as the Pithampur SEZ and Dewas, offering our customers multiple connection options for their shipments with real-time tracking.”
