In India, the
average price increase will be 9.9 percent and the new prices will be
effective from January 1, 2015," DHL Express said in a statement.
"DHL Express is
committed to delivering great value for customers, and our annual price
increase is one of the number of factors that allows us to ensure
service excellence and a competitive offering over the long-term," said
Ken Allen, CEO, DHL Express.
"We have a
world-class express delivery network, in which we invest around euro 500
million each year. Our major investments in 2014, including new
facilities in Japan, the Middle East and North Africa, upgraded
facilities across the UK and additional flights in all regions, have
further
strengthened this network," Allen said.
More importantly,
the company continued to invest significantly in its employees and these
measures are focused on helping customers connect with their
international partners, grow and prosper, he added.
"DHL’s annual rate
increase is driven by the continuous investments made in the country to
support growth and improve quality despite the impact of inflation on
input costs. We are also faced with the added pressure of the
depreciating rupee but are committed to continuously improve our service
quality to our customers," said RS Subramanian, SVP & MD, India,
DHL Express.
DHL Express adjusts
its prices annually, taking into account inflation and other rising
costs in each of the more than 220 countries and territories that it
