The transition period is expected to continue for some time into the year.

Khanna added, “We will continue to deliver on every aspect of the business by maintaining excellent service quality and ensuring customer delight through best-in-class technology and innovation in our offerings. Our commitment to the planet continues and our strategy is in line with Deutsche Post DHL (DPDHL) Group’s Sustainable Strategy and climate protection goal ‘Zero Emissions 2050’.”
