With TNT in bag, FedEx may create a duopoly in India

New Delhi: US courier services giant Fedex’s acquisition of the Dutch TNT Express will create synergies and economies of scale, but from an Indian perspective, the international express logistics space may become a duopoly.

Fedex and DHL being the two major players, can drive pricing power, says an industry expert.

“In the Indian market, the top four players include DHL, Fedex, TNT and UPS, of which UPS has a very small presence. So, for Indian players in the logistics market, the pricing power will be controlled by these two players. This is what we need to watch out for,” said Sanjiv Kathuria, co-founder of Dotzot, a start-up in the e-commerce delivery space, which delivers 20,000 packets a day.
