FedEx, a global leader in express transportation, has extended its FedEx® International Connect Plus (FICP) service in India, offering seamless access to destinations across Asia, the Americas, and Europe. This cost-efficient, time-definite solution ensures delivery of cross-border e-commerce shipments within 3-4 business days*.

The expansion aligns with India’s rapidly growing e-commerce sector, expected to reach USD 325 billion by 2030. With third-party logistics projected to manage approximately 17 billion shipments over the next seven years, reliable and flexible international shipping solutions are more critical than ever. FICP simplifies global logistics, enhancing customer satisfaction and supporting business growth.

“E-commerce is reshaping global trade, and businesses need innovative solutions that balance affordability with speed and flexibility,” said Nitin Navneet Tatiwala, Vice President of Marketing and Air Network, MEISA, FedEx. “We aim to empower India’s e-commerce ecosystem by delivering agile supply chain solutions, leveraging our advanced physical and digital networks to serve businesses of all sizes.”

FedEx International Connect Plus (FICP) offers seamless integration with popular e-commerce platforms, enabling businesses to streamline their shipping processes. By simplifying operations, the service ensures a smooth, paperless experience for both companies and their customers, making cross-border logistics more efficient and reliable.

FICP enhances customer visibility and control through advanced tools like FedEx Delivery Manager®. This feature enables customers to track shipments in real-time, make adjustments to delivery schedules, and access Picture Proof of Delivery (PPoD)* for added assurance. By empowering customers with greater control over their deliveries, FICP significantly boosts satisfaction and trust.

Flexibility in delivery options is another standout feature of FICP.
