Under this collaboration, Blue Dart will transport cargo via metro trains during non-peak hours, utilising available capacity to ensure faster and more reliable movement of time-sensitive shipments, it stated.

It further highlighted that the step will reduce dependency on road transport, thereby easing congestion and curbing vehicular emissions.

At the same time, DMRC will optimise its resources while reinforcing its commitment to environmentally friendly transport solutions, it stated.

"Under this initiative, DMRC is leveraging its stations and tracks to establish a sustainable urban freight network across Delhi-NCR," DMRC stated in the statement.

It also aims to boost operational efficiency, shorten delivery timelines, and support urban freight systems with lower carbon emissions by repurposing metro premises into logistics hubs, it stated.

With this pioneering model, DMRC and Blue Dart will redefine urban logistics by integrating sustainability with innovation, ensuring a greener and more efficient future for cargo movement in metropolitan areas, it added.
