Uber has rolled out a new logistics service in India called Courier XL, a step up from its existing delivery offerings. Designed to handle bulkier and heavier items, this new option is now available in Delhi NCR and Mumbai, with plans to expand to more cities soon.
With Courier XL, customers can send packages weighing up to 750 kilograms using three- and four-wheeler goods vehicles. Whether it’s moving stock, furniture, or larger parcels, the idea is to simplify city logistics for individuals and small businesses that need something more than just a bike delivery.

This new service comes as an extension of Uber Courier, Uber’s two-wheeler-based delivery platform that’s been quietly gaining traction across India. Currently active in 25 cities, it has handled over five million deliveries. In 2024 alone, usage of the platform surged by more than 50%, and the momentum has carried over into 2025.
The addition of Courier XL marks a more serious play by Uber in the fast-growing urban logistics sector, where companies like Porter, Mover, and Borzo have already carved out their space. Porter, for instance, has emerged as a major player after securing $200 million in funding from Kedaara Capital and Wellington Management.
Courier XL brings along the familiar Uber experience — real-time tracking, fixed pricing before you book, and app-based convenience. It also supports longer delivery distances: in 2024, the average trip across India was 11 kilometers, with slightly longer hauls in Delhi NCR (14 km) and Mumbai (12 km). The platform has already seen a wide range of delivery requests, from short hops of under a kilometer to long hauls of over 130 km within city limits.
Uber says demand for its courier services tends to spike around holidays and special events, like Diwali, Rakshabandhan, and even Mother’s Day. With options like store pickups and live availability, the platform isn’t just for practical needs — it’s also becoming a go-to for sending gifts and surprises.
Meanwhile, Uber’s overall India operations have been on an upward swing. In FY24, the company’s operating revenue grew by 41%, reaching Rs 3,762 crore, driven by better ride-hailing performance and expanded service offerings that have helped reduce losses.
