In a strategic move towards fostering sustainability and
reducing its carbon footprint, Blue Dart, South Asia leading courier and integrated
express package distribution company, unveiled an expansion of its electric vehicle

initiative underlines Blue Dart’s commitment to environmental stewardship on World
Environment Day, aligning closely with the company ambitious goal to achieve net-
zero carbon emissions.
