DTDC Expands into Rapid Commerce with 2-4 Hour and Same-Day Delivery Services

DTDC has expanded into the rapidly growing rapid commerce sector, introducing 2-4 hour and same-day delivery services aimed at offering faster solutions for direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands and social commerce sellers across India. The company has launched its first dark store in Bengaluru, which will play a key role in supporting hyperlocal fulfilment and enhancing last-mile delivery efficiency.

The dark store model focuses on improving delivery speed by housing products in locations closer to the customers, allowing for quicker dispatch. This move is part of DTDC’s plan to tap into the expanding demand for faster delivery times in e-commerce, particularly in urban areas. With these new services, customers can expect quicker turnaround times for their orders, a crucial factor for businesses looking to meet the needs of today’s fast-paced consumer market.

In the coming months, DTDC aims to expand this service across India, utilising its robust logistics network and technology to ensure a seamless experience. The company’s entry into the rapid commerce space positions it well to compete in the growing market, where speed and efficiency are becoming increasingly important for e-commerce and social commerce players.

By leveraging its infrastructure, DTDC hopes to improve the delivery experience for businesses and consumers alike, positioning itself as a key player in the hyperlocal delivery and rapid commerce sector.
