Delhivery Launches Freight Index One to Redefine Freight Data

Delhivery, India’s largest integrated logistics company, has rolled out Freight Index One, an open data platform aimed at bringing pricing transparency to the country’s freight and trucking market.

The platform delivers real-time, historical, and predictive Full Truckload (FTL) rate insights for transporters, fleet owners, shippers, and 3PL players, covering major trucking corridors and both open and closed container categories.

Rohan Anand, Head of Data Science at Delhivery, said the initiative fills a major gap in India’s logistics landscape. “Unlike global benchmarks such as the Cass Freight Index or the Freightos Baltic Index (FBX), India lacks a standardized reference for freight pricing. This leads to routing inefficiencies, cost uncertainty during peak seasons, and uneven access to critical information.”
