TNT's Express division said, "India is a country we are all excited
about. It has huge business potential and our expansion plan is
clearly in line with our strategic intent to focus on and develop in
the emerging markets". Emphasizing on the company's aim to globalising
its services he said, "we have been operating our international
express services in India for the past 12 years. With this launch, we
will be able to cater to a larger base of customers".
TNT has already started offering its air network solutions to
customers and will launch its road network services by mid March, 2006
as part of their phase 2 expansion plans. TNT will increase the number
