Delhivery Handles Rs 0.19 Trillion Shipments In Festive Surge

Delhivery Ltd, India’s largest integrated logistics firm, reported that it transported goods worth Rs 0.19 trillion (Rs 19,187 crore) during the second phase of the 2025 festive season, marking one of the logistics sector’s strongest performances to date.

The company handled more than 107 million e-commerce and freight shipments in October 2025, including a single-day peak of 7.2 million deliveries. Nearly 18,100 clients achieved record daily shipment volumes during the period, Delhivery said in a statement.

The company’s extensive delivery network covered distances of up to 4,085 km, spanning from Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) to Tezu (Arunachal Pradesh). Delhivery delivered over 29.57 million packages within 48 hours and 13.59 million within 24 hours, while one of its Bengaluru deliveries was completed in just two minutes.

Reflecting on the record-breaking performance, Sahil Barua, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Delhivery, said in a LinkedIn post, “Last month we hit a record we thought would take months to surpass. To reach 100 million orders again in the second festive phase — despite holidays and monsoons — has been the most rewarding challenge.”

October marked Delhivery’s second consecutive month exceeding 100 million transport orders, underscoring its capacity leadership in the Indian logistics sector.

Delhivery competes with major players such as XpressBees, Shiprocket, DTDC, Blue Dart, and Flipkart-backed Shadowfax. Shadowfax, for instance, processed 436.36 million orders in FY25, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29.77 per cent from FY23. During the six months ending 30 September 2025, Shadowfax handled 294.45 million orders, reflecting a CAGR of 50.11 per cent over the same period in 2024.

According to a Datum Intelligence report, total festive e-commerce sales in India are projected to grow 27 per cent year-on-year to Rs 12 trillion, with the first week alone generating Rs 607 billion in gross merchandise value (GMV)—more than half the total season’s estimate.

Among e-commerce platforms, Amazon India recorded 2.76 billion customer visits during its month-long Great Indian Festival sale, with over 70 per cent coming from Tier-II and Tier-III cities, highlighting the platform’s expanding reach beyond metro markets.

Flipkart also reported strong traction during its The Big Billion Days (TBBD) sale, with user visits rising 21 per cent compared to TBBD 2024. The platform saw 26 per cent year-on-year growth in premium product purchases—particularly in mobiles, televisions, and refrigerators—while its quick-commerce arm, Flipkart Minutes, processed 4.5 million visitors, doubling regular-day order volumes.

Meanwhile, Meesho became India’s largest e-commerce platform by annual transacting users and order volume in FY25. The company processed 1.8 billion orders, up 37 per cent from 1.3 billion in FY24, and reported a net merchandise value of Rs 300 billion (Rs 30,000 crore), up 29 per cent year-on-year, driven by robust demand in Tier-II and Tier-III cities and strong participation from metro markets.

The festive period, marked by surging digital consumption, has reaffirmed India’s position as one of the world’s fastest-growing e-commerce and logistics ecosystems, with Delhivery and its peers driving efficiency and reach across the supply chain network.
