## History

[edit]

Transport Corporation of India (TCI) was established in 1958 by Prabhu Dayal Agarwal in Kolkata, India, initially as a freight transport company.[8] Over the years, the company expanded its logistics operations across India.

In 2016, the company underwent a strategic demerger, leading to the formation of TCI Express — a separate entity focused exclusively on express delivery services. TCI Express was subsequently listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). [9]
