DTDC and Skye Air’s Drone Delivery Service: A Game Changer in Logistics
The service will initially target high-impact regions to maximize its benefits. By leveraging real-time tracking through the DTDC app, customers will experience a new level of convenience and transparency in their deliveries. This move not only reflects DTDC’s commitment to technological advancement but also positions it as a leader in the evolving logistics landscape.
The newly launched drone delivery service promises to cut delivery times dramatically.

In addition to speed, the service is designed with sustainability in mind. By reducing reliance on traditional delivery vehicles, DTDC aims to lower its carbon emissions, aligning with broader environmental goals. The use of drones not only enhances efficiency but also supports DTDC’s commitment to greener logistics.
Looking ahead, DTDC plans to expand the drone service across major Indian cities. This strategic rollout will focus on areas where drones can provide the most significant improvements in delivery speed and operational efficiency, setting a new benchmark for the logistics industry.
