Bharat Diamond Bourse Partners with Department of Posts to Streamline Logistics
Bharat Diamond Bourse (BDB) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Posts, Maharashtra Circle, to enhance the handling and shipment of precious cargo directly from within the Bourse. As part of this collaboration, a post office extension counter offering a full suite of postal services is set to begin operations at BDB within the next month.
The partnership will enable both members and non-members to access comprehensive logistics solutions for domestic and international shipments. Doorstep logistics services will be facilitated with the Department of Posts acting as the primary logistics partner.
A wide range of services—including Speed Post, India Post Parcel, Logistics Post, and Media Post—will be available within the Bourse premises, ensuring seamless access to shipping solutions.
Anoop Mehta, President of BDB, stated that the initiative aligns with the Bourse’s vision to provide world-class facilities to its members while supporting the growth of diamond exports. He noted that the agreement will significantly streamline export-import logistics and benefit businesses operating within the premises.
Mehul Shah, Vice President of BDB, highlighted that the introduction of a post office marks a major advantage for small and medium traders, as it will reduce shipment costs and eliminate the need for Customs clearing agents. He added that the move will also strengthen e-commerce by enabling direct shipments from manufacturers to consumers, while simplifying access to essential postal services.
Amitabh Singh emphasized that the collaboration brings the extensive reach of India’s postal network to the doorstep of the diamond trade, facilitating both domestic and international cargo movement. He added that it connects one of the world’s largest diamond trading hubs with the country’s vast postal infrastructure, expanding global access.
The MoU signing ceremony was also attended by Santosh Mishra, Pandurang Chormale, and Anup Zaveri, among other dignitaries.
