Best E-commerce Logistics Franchises in India 2026 — FRANticc Comparison
What actually matters when you compare these
Royalty structures diverge sharply: XpressBees charges 0% while Delhivery takes 10% of revenue. On ₹50L annual turnover that's ₹500000 per year flowing out of your P&L, every year, for the lifetime of the agreement.
XpressBees (4500 outlets) and Shadowfax Technologies (4000) operate at comparable scale — neither has a decisive network advantage, so your location-specific due diligence matters more than brand size here.
