Operated by Danmar Lines, DHL’s in-house carrier, the new service will facilitate trade between India and the US and offers customers reliable and cost-effective services with a reduced transit time of 26 days between the two ports, said DHL in a statement issued in Singapore.

“The US is India’s second largest export partner and third largest import partner.
