Couriers bucket lanes into zones (A through E) based on distance and serviceability.

Typical zone logic

  • Zone A: Metro to metro
  • Zone B: Within region / nearby states
  • Zone C: Mid-distance cross-zone
  • Zone D: Long distance
  • Zone E: Remote, North-East, J&K, islands

Why it matters

A 1 kg parcel can cost ₹55 in Zone A and ₹110+ in Zone E. Your margin by state depends on zone mix.
