India and Germany have taken a major step toward strengthening international postal, express, and logistics cooperation, marking a positive development for cross-border trade and global courier services. On 12 January 2026, during the official visit of H.E. Friedrich Merz, Federal Chancellor of Germany, both nations signed key agreements in Ahmedabad to enhance international cargo movement, express shipments, and logistics efficiency.
The cooperation includes a Joint Declaration of Intent between the Department of Posts, Government of India, and Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, as well as a Letter of Intent between India Post and Deutsche Post AG (DHL Group). These agreements aim to create a structured framework for improved international postal connectivity, faster deliveries, and better logistics integration between the two countries.
The collaboration focuses strongly on time-definite international express services, cross-border e-commerce logistics, and improved last-mile connectivity. By leveraging India Post’s vast domestic reach and Deutsche Post–DHL’s global logistics network, the initiative is expected to significantly improve transit times, shipment reliability, and end-to-end visibility for international consignments originating from India.
This development directly benefits courier and express service providers operating in international markets, especially companies offering India-to-global and Dubai-to-global courier solutions, such as Timescan Express.
