The acquisition reflects Delhivery’s focus on expanding scale and improving last-mile delivery capabilities. Ecom Express, founded in 2012, had once been a key logistics player for Indian e-commerce giants but failed to sustain momentum amid increased competition and funding shortages. The company was preparing for an IPO, which was eventually shelved after scrutiny of its disclosures.
For Delhivery, absorbing Ecom Express provides immediate access to assets, manpower, and a wide delivery network. While the deal strengthens Delhivery’s market control, it also offers a chance to enhance service quality and develop future-ready logistics solutions including drones, electric vehicles, and automation systems—an area where Ecom had already invested moderately.

The acquisition may influence the Delhivery share price in the short term, as investors assess the financial integration of Ecom Express. The steep acquisition cost and lack of immediate profitability could pose near-term challenges. However, the long-term gain in market share, enhanced logistics capacity, and cost synergies are likely to offset those concerns. The Delhivery share price will be closely monitored for signs of investor confidence in this major strategic move.
