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.
