• Uber's Courier XL can transport goods up to 750 kilograms via three- and four-wheeler carriers in Delhi NCR and Mumbai.
  • The Uber Courier platform has expanded to 25 cities, serving over 5 million users, with deliveries growing 50% year-on-year in 2024.

Uber has rolled out Courier XL, a new category under its logistics wing, Uber Courier, to cater to the rising demand for intra-city transportation of heavier goods. The service went live this week in Delhi NCR and Mumbai, with plans to expand to additional cities.

Targeted at individuals and small businesses, Courier XL allows the movement of packages weighing up to 750 kilograms using three- and four-wheeler carriers.

This move builds on the momentum of Uber's existing bike-based delivery service, which now operates in 25 Indian cities and has served over five million users.

Deliveries through Uber Courier surged by over 50% in 2024, and the company reports that strong growth continued into Q1 2025.

Courier XL is positioned to capture a share of India’s booming on-demand logistics market, particularly among users with bulk or oversized delivery needs.

“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,” said Shiva Shailendran, Director – Consumer & Growth, Uber India South Asia. “Whether it’s inventory, furniture, or large parcels, we’re making big moves simpler and smarter.”

The new service retains key Uber features like live tracking, upfront pricing, and seamless booking via the Uber app. It enters a competitive market alongside players such as Porter, Borzo, and Mover.

Porter, in particular, has emerged as a leader after raising $200 million from Kedaara Capital and Wellington Management.

Uber reports that the average courier delivery distance in 2024 was 11 kilometres, with longer routes in Delhi NCR and Mumbai. The platform continues to see peak demand during festive seasons and events, underscoring its dual role in both utility and emotional deliveries.
