DHL invests EUR 22 million for new handling facility in Bengaluru

 DHL Express invested about EUR 22 million (INR 200 crore) for the express industry’s largest airside facility in Bengaluru, India. Located within the Kempegowda International Airport, this newly expanded Bengaluru Gateway by  DHL Express spans over 112,000 sq feet, over four times larger than the previous facility.  



The new facility can handle over 90,000 tons of shipment per year. The additional capacity at the expanded Bengaluru Gateway enables DHL Express to offer 12 to 24 hours faster connection and delivery of imported goods across India and reduce the daily cut-off time for shipment pick-up by up to 60 minutes. 

Ken Lee, CEO, DHL Express Asia Pacific said, “As one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, India remains a critical node of the global DHL network. The Bengaluru Gateway is part of our EUR750 million investment to bolster our infrastructure in the Asia Pacific and enhance connectivity for countries and businesses. With strong international imports and exports driving the increasing cargo volume in Bengaluru, our new facility supports Bengaluru’s strategy to provide the capacity of one million tons at its airport in the next few years.”
