Indian Railways to Launch Door-to-Door Parcel Service in Eight Cities via App
Indian Railways plans to launch a door-to-door parcel service in eight major cities—Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Pune—via the Rail Parcel App 'Ghar Se Ghar Tak'. This service will enable customers to book and pay online, schedule pickups up to 15 days in advance, and track parcels digitally. Logistics partners will handle first-mile pickup and last-mile delivery, while Indian Railways will transport parcels between stations. The initiative aims to enhance convenience by eliminating the need to visit railway stations for parcel booking.
