DTDC Express Ltd launches “DTDC Vallam Express,” a last-mile courier delivery service that uses Kerala’s waterways to deliver parcels directly to water-bound communities. The service is designed to take deliveries to the doorsteps of households in areas that rely on inland water routes rather than road access.
Initially, the service operates in Kuttanad, an Alappuzha sub-district made up of 14 villages with a population of about two lakh people. Outlets describe it as a waterway-based extension of parcel delivery operations, positioned as a practical solution for delivering to communities where conventional doorstep delivery may be difficult. The reporting focuses on the launch location and the service’s purpose—connecting courier deliveries with communities accessible by water—while offering limited additional operational details such as fleet size, timelines, or pricing.
Both sources frame the move as an effort to improve delivery reach and accessibility for residents in water-connected regions of Kerala.
