Comment: The overall tone tends to promote the company, without any real facts. E.g., the whole section on corporate social responsibility could have been lifted from their own website. You need to work harder to create balanced and a neutral tone. MarcGarver (talk) 09:22, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

History
[edit]Before its establishment as a separate entity in 2016, TCIEXPRESS operated as TCI XPS, the express delivery division of Transport Corporation of India Limited (TCIL) since 1996. The demerger was a strategic move aimed at improving customer focus and operational efficiency. Following the demerger, TCIEXPRESS became a publicly listed company on December 16, 2016, on both BSE and NSE. Since its inception, the company has expanded its services and infrastructure under the leadership of D.P. Agarwal (Chairman) and ChanderAgarwal (Managing Director).

As of 2024, the company operates over 970 branches and manages 100,000 pick-up and drop-off locations across more than 200 countries, with a strong presence in over 750 districts within India.
The company’s services include surface transportation, domestic and international air express, e-commerce delivery, rail express services, pharma cold chain solutions, and customer-to-customer (C2C) services.
TCIEXPRESS is IATA certified, ensuring its compliance with global air transport standards, enabling it to offer reliable and efficient global logistics services.

The company manages a fleet of approximately 5,500 vehicles, serving more than 500 express routes and 2,500 feeder routes, with 73 air gateways supporting international and domestic logistics.
Achievements
[edit]In 2022, TCIEXPRESS commissioned the GIGA Sorting Centre[7] in Gurugram, India, which is the largest automated B2B sorting facility in the country and Asia, covering 200,000 square feet. The facility operates on solar energy and is equipped with an automated loop sorting system capable of handling 15,000 parcels per hour.
In March 2024, the company completed the automation of its Pune Sorting Centre, a 140,000 square feet facility, further expanding its operational capacity. Both sorting centres contribute to improved efficiency by reducing parcel handling time and vehicle idle time by 40%, while enhancing fuel efficiency.
The Gurugram GIGA Sorting Centre and Pune Sorting Centre have both been awarded the LEED Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council for their sustainable design and operations. These facilities are notable for their environmentally friendly practices, including the use of renewable energy.
