Ride-hailing major Uber has launched Courier XL, a service that expands its logistics product Courier to enable deliveries of large goods.
Courier XL has been introduced 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.
According to Uber, it will use three- and four-wheeler vehicles to deliver large shipments. Courier XL will offer a fast, tech-enabled solution for heavier shipments. The new category has been introduced following the growth of Uber Courier, its bike-based package delivery service. Uber claims that Courier is now available in 25 cities and has served over 5 million users.
“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.
Courier XL will face competition from 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 player in this segment, which primarily caters to MSMEs.
Uber says that deliveries through its Courier service grew by more than 50% in 2024, with growth continuing in the first three months of 2025. It saw its operating revenue in India grow by 41% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, reaching Rs 3,762 crore, as it managed to reduce its losses on the back of improvements in its ride-hailing services and growth in its support and service operations.
