Delhivery delivers the goods in 15 minutes flat

MUMBAI: Speed demons, rejoice. Delhivery, India’s largest fully integrated logistics provider, is bringing its 15-minute pickup service to Mumbai and Hyderabad, promising to whisk parcels across town faster than you can say “stuck in traffic.”

The company launched its on-demand intracity service via the Delhivery Direct app on 15 December, targeting small businesses, direct-to-consumer brands, and individuals who need something delivered yesterday—or at least within the hour. Customers can summon two-wheelers for smaller parcels or upgrade to three and four-wheelers when the load gets hefty.

“We are thrilled to expand Delhivery Direct’s local on-demand service to Mumbai and Hyderabad, bringing our fast, affordable, and reliable intracity logistics to two more major markets,” said Delhivery head of intracity business Nikhil Vij. The launch brings the company’s footprint to five key cities, including Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, and Ahmedabad.

The service offers real-time tracking across commercial and residential hubs in both cities. The app, available on Google Play and Apple’s App Store, also handles intercity shipments to over 18,850 pin codes nationwide—though presumably those take longer than 15 minutes.

Since its inception, Delhivery has fulfilled over four billion shipments and serves more than 48,000 customers. With India’s e-commerce market booming and everyone wanting everything now, the company is clearly betting that faster is better. Whether Mumbai’s notorious traffic will cooperate with that 15-minute promise is another matter entirely.
