Blue Dart Tracking
Blue Dart Tracking lets you follow every shipment moving through South Asia's largest express courier network in real time. Whether you are receiving an e-commerce order, sending a commercial consignment, or shipping a parcel overseas through Blue Dart's DHL alliance, the waybill number on your shipment keeps you informed at every stage from pickup to delivery.
Tips for Tracking Blue Dart Packages
To get the most accurate and timely updates, keep these tips in mind:
Check your waybill number carefully to avoid transposed digits.
Sign up for SMS and email alerts so you receive status changes automatically.
Use the Blue Dart mobile app for quick tracking on the go.
Allow a few hours after pickup for the first scan to appear in the system.
How to Identify a Blue Dart Tracking Number
A Blue Dart tracking number is also called a waybill number or AWB (Air Waybill) number. You can find it:
On the shipping receipt or waybill copy handed to you at pickup.
In the shipping or dispatch confirmation email from the online store you ordered from.
In SMS notifications sent by Blue Dart or the retailer.
On the shipping label attached to the parcel.
Blue Dart Tracking Number Format
Blue Dart tracking numbers are numeric and their length depends on whether the shipment is domestic or international:
Domestic shipments: usually an 11-digit number (for example, 5 followed by 10 more digits). The length can range between 8 and 11 digits depending on the service.
International shipments and EMS: typically a 13-character number, since these move through the wider DHL and partner network.
Because the format is purely numeric, you do not need to enter letters or spaces. Simply type the full number into the tracking field to see the latest status.
Blue Dart Tracking Status Guide
Each Blue Dart status update tells you where your shipment is in its journey. Common statuses include:
Shipment Booked / Picked Up: Blue Dart has collected the parcel from the sender and created the waybill record.
In Transit: The shipment is moving between Blue Dart facilities, by air or by road.
Reached Destination Location: The parcel has arrived at the Blue Dart facility serving the delivery area.
Out for Delivery: The shipment is with a delivery agent for final handover.
Delivered: The parcel has been handed to the recipient, often with the name of who signed for it.
Undelivered: A delivery attempt was made but could not be completed (recipient unavailable, address issue, or office closed). Blue Dart usually reattempts on the next working day.
Blue Dart Domestic Services
Blue Dart offers a range of domestic services for documents, parcels, and heavier commercial freight:
Domestic Priority: Time-definite, next-business-day delivery to a wide list of locations across India. Premium variants such as Domestic Priority 1030 and 1200 guarantee delivery by 10:30 a.m. or 12:00 p.m. in major cities.
Dart Apex: A day-definite air express service built for commercial shipments, generally above 10 kg. Dart Apex 1200 offers next-business-day door delivery by noon.
Dart Surfaceline: A cost-effective, ground-based service for less time-sensitive and heavier consignments, reaching tens of thousands of destinations nationwide.
Critical Express and Charter: Specialised solutions for urgent, high-value, or dedicated movements.
Blue Dart International Tracking
Blue Dart handles international shipments through its strategic alliance with the DHL Group, connecting India to more than 220 countries and territories. When a parcel leaves India, the Blue Dart waybill is linked to the wider DHL network, so the same tracking number generally continues to show progress as the shipment clears Indian customs, travels abroad, and is handed to the destination country's carrier or DHL for final delivery.
For parcels moving on the express international network, the DHL Group handles the cross-border leg, so you can also follow the same shipment with DHL Express tracking once the waybill enters the global system.
For international parcels, expect tracking events to include export and customs clearance steps, an international departure scan, arrival in the destination country, and import processing before final delivery.
Blue Dart Delivery Time Estimates
Delivery times depend on the service chosen and the distance between origin and destination:
Domestic Priority (air): Next business day to select metros and major cities.

Dart Surfaceline (ground): Usually 2-5 business days depending on the route.

Why Tracking Can Pause or Look Stuck
Sometimes a Blue Dart shipment appears to stop moving for a while. Common reasons include:
Long transit legs: Surface shipments crossing the country may travel for a day or two between scans, so the status can stay the same without anything being wrong.
Customs hold (international): Cross-border parcels can sit at customs while documentation or duties are processed. The status usually updates once clearance is complete.
Failed delivery attempt: If the recipient is unavailable, the shipment is marked undelivered and held for a reattempt on the next working day.
Weather or operational delays: Heavy monsoon conditions, festivals, or local disruptions can slow the network temporarily.

How many digits is a Blue Dart tracking number?
Domestic Blue Dart shipments usually carry an 11-digit numeric waybill number, though the length can range from 8 to 11 digits depending on the service. International shipments and EMS typically use a 13-character number because they travel through the wider DHL network.

Enter your full numeric waybill number into the tracking field on this page (or on the Blue Dart website or app) and submit it. You will see the latest scan and the shipment's status history.
Can I track Blue Dart with my phone number or order ID?
Blue Dart tracking works with the waybill (AWB) number. If you only have an order ID from a retailer, check the dispatch email or your account with that store to locate the Blue Dart waybill number first.

Does Blue Dart deliver internationally?
Yes. Blue Dart handles international shipments through its strategic alliance with the DHL Group, reaching more than 220 countries and territories. The waybill is linked to the DHL network for cross-border tracking.
Can I track an international Blue Dart shipment?
Yes. International parcels can be followed with the same number as they clear Indian customs, depart, arrive in the destination country, and pass import processing before final delivery by DHL or the local carrier.
Why is my Blue Dart tracking not updating or stuck?
Tracking can appear stuck for several reasons: a long surface transit leg between scans, an international customs hold while documents or duties are processed, a failed delivery attempt awaiting reattempt, or weather and operational delays. In most cases the status updates again once the parcel reaches the next checkpoint. If it has not moved for several days, contact Blue Dart with your waybill number.
What does 'Out for Delivery' mean on Blue Dart?
It means your shipment has left the local Blue Dart facility and is with a delivery agent for final handover, usually expected the same day.
What does 'Undelivered' mean and what happens next?
It means a delivery attempt was made but could not be completed, often because the recipient was unavailable or the address needed clarification. Blue Dart normally reattempts delivery on the next working day.
Does Blue Dart deliver on Sundays and holidays?
Blue Dart generally operates on business days, and Sunday or public-holiday delivery is not guaranteed for standard services. Delivery timelines are calculated in business days, so weekends and holidays can add time.
