Ride-hailing firm Uber on Monday launched Courier XL, a service that expands its logistics product Courier, to enable deliveries of large goods.
Courier XL has been rolled out in Delhi NCR and Mumbai, with plans to expand to more cities in the coming months. It allows users to send large packages weighing up to 750 kilograms.
The company will use three and four-wheeler vehicles to deliver large shipments. Courier XL will offer a fast and tech-enabled solution for heavier shipments, it said.
“Courier XL is our answer to a growing demand from users — especially small businesses and households — who need a reliable way to move heavier goods across the city. Whether it’s inventory, furniture, or large parcels, we’re making big moves simpler and smarter,” said Shiva Shailendran, director – consumer and growth, Uber India South Asia.
According to the company, the new category has been introduced following the growth of Uber Courier, its bike-based package delivery service. Uber Courier is now available in 25 cities and has served over 5 million users.
Uber said deliveries through its Courier service grew by more than 50% in 2024, with growth continuing to rise in the first three months of 2025.
Courier XL will compete with the likes of other new-age on-demand services such as Porter, Borzo, and Mover. Porter, which recently closed a $200 million round led by private equity firms Kedaara Capital and Wellington Management, is the largest in this segment, which primarily caters to MSMEs. New-age logistics company Delhivery also has a small presence in this market.
Uber saw its operating revenue in India grow by 41% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 to touch Rs 3,762 crore, as it managed to reduce its losses on the back of an improvement in its ride-hailing services and growth in its support and service operations.
