Delhivery Launches Mapping Platform For Logistics Businesses

Delhivery launched ‘Delhivery Maps’, an AI-native suite of geospatial APIs built on its own telemetry data from over 200 Cr shipments

Powered by ‘Naksha LLM’, the commercial mapping platform was designed specifically for commercial shipping and to reduce Delhivery’s reliance on third-party mapping providers

It can be deployed in sectors like quick-commerce, hyperlocal, and ride-hailing for use cases like optimising address validation, dispatch operations, route planning, and ETAs

Logistics giant Delhivery announced the launch of an AI-native suite of geospatial APIs, ‘Delhivery Maps’, for commercial logistics and navigation. 

In a press release, the company said it would make its proprietary mapping infrastructure, which it had been using internally till now, commercially available to external enterprises, developers, and gig-economy platforms. 

To note, Delhivery developed this capability to reduce reliance on third-party mapping providers across its core operations, including express parcel, part-truckload freight, and supply chain services. 

Delhivery Maps comprises core mapping APIs including auto-complete, geocoding, reverse geocoding, vehicle aware routing, navigation, distance matrix, and map tiles. It is designed specifically for commercial shipping and incorporates operational parameters such as heavy-vehicle speeds, routing constraints, and landmark-based navigation. 

The platform’s accuracy is based on historical metadata from over 200 Cr shipments and 100 Cr daily GPS pings from its fleet of more than 1 Lakh vehicles. 

Delhivery Maps is powered by ‘Naksha LLM’, a homegrown set of geospatial reasoning models designed to handle unstructured address data through dynamic reasoning loops. Naksha LLM is also available on the Delhivery Maps MCP. 

The company said that businesses operating in segments like ecommerce, quick commerce and ride-hailing can utilise its APIs for various use cases like optimising address validation, dispatch operations, route planning, and ETAs. 

“We built Delhivery Maps out of operational necessity to run India’s largest logistics network intelligently and solve for unstructured addresses and commercial routing rules at a massive scale,” Delhivery CTO Kapil Bharati said.

Notably, Delhivery has been expanding its business remit of late. In November, it established a new wholly owned subsidiary Delhivery Financial Services to enter the fintech segment. Under this, the company will look to provide access to credit based services, fuel cards, insurance solutions, among others, for truckers, fleet owners, riders, and MSMEs that work with the company. 

In the last few quarters, the company has also been growing two new business lines – Delhivery Direct and Rapid. The former is a B2C hyperlocal service offering local, on-demand deliveries via two-wheeler as well as three- and four-wheelers (for larger parcels). The latter, meanwhile, focuses on fulfilling quick-commerce orders for ecommerce brands, retailers, and D2C businesses by operating dark stores. 

On the financial front, Delhivery reported a consolidated net profit of ₹72.4 Cr in the March quarter, nearly flat from the year-ago figure. Its operating revenue rose 30% YoY to ₹2,850 Cr. For the full year FY26, Delhivery’s PAT rose 8% YoY to ₹321 Cr while its revenue from services increased 17% to ₹10,486 Cr. 

Shares of Delhivery ended today’s trading session 0.58% higher at ₹461.80 on the BSE.
