TNT to invest in India

NEW DELHI - Express service provider TNT said it will invest 100 million euros (US$120 million) over five years in its India Road Network program for offering services using an integrated air and road network.

"The TNT India Road Network will offer an attractively priced, fast and reliable mode of transport to customers. It will also be one of the most critical factors in establishing us as a clear leader in the



integrated express distribution segment," TNT India managing director Abhik Mitra said.

The India Road Network, linking over 140 cities spanning across 32,000 kms, would offer customers a fully inclusive door-to-door day definite solution with complete track and trace capabilities, it added.

It said massive investment has been made in IT to ensure that customers could access real time information on the status of their shipments, and added that all TNT containers were equipped with the Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) tracking system.

The India Road Network would have three super hubs located at Indore, Nagpur and Kolkata, which would be the core transhipment points and would be supported by 19 depots across the country.
