The oil township of Haldia is all set to get connected to India's mainstream business
with Blue Dart Express Limited opening a large office in the centrally located HP Link
Road, directly benefiting the surrounding towns of Kharagpur, Midnapore, Digha,
Contai and Tamluk. Blue Dart is indisputably the largest integrated air express and
logistics company with a market share of 38% in the domestic market.
Haldia, 135 kms away from Kolkata has a population of about two lakh people and
is home to companies such as Hindustan Lever Limited (HLL), Engineers India
Limited (EIL), Toyo Engineering, Tisco Marine Suppliers Corporation and Lee &
Muirhead, amongst others. Despite this, Haldia has poor infrastructure and
communication facilities. Blue Dart Express Limited has stepped in to service the
demand in this region. Blue Dart's strength in providing reliable operations and
process efficiency aims to add value to the customer through time and cost
savings.
Commenting on the opening of the new office in Haldia, Mr. Amod Dasgupta, Vice
