Can We Implement
Dabbawala System in Delhi?
Lets Talk about Delhi
• Capital City of India
• Population of 25 Million, second most populous city of
India
• Sex ratio of 868 per 1000 Males
• Working population of 4.6 Million
• People working in private and profit organization is 2.07
Million
• If atleast 5% opt for Dabbawala service, we can expect
atleast 1 lakh potential customers
• Delhi is served by Delhi Metro, which is considered as the
lifeline of Delhi and caters almost all of Delhi and the
nearby cities like Gurgaon, Noida.
Delhi Metro
• 13th Largest metro system in the world in
terms of length
• Total length of 193.2 Km
• 139 stations
• 2.4 million commuters every single day
• Carried more than 1.25 billion commuters
since inception
Dabbawalas
Ideas for Implementation
• 5 dabbawalas per station
• 2 for aggregating and segregating at
station
• 3 for collection and delivery of
dabbas from residential areas
• Stations serving two metro lines will
have 3 more dabbawalas assigned
• 139 X 5=695 and with additional
dabbawalas at interchange stations
will go till 750
• 750-800 dabbawalas from a single
community mostly semi-illiterate
people
• Use of rickshaw for the movement of
dabbas between houses and stations
Coding of Dabbas in Delhi
• Similar coding as that
in Mumbai
• Origin and Destination
metro station code
would be painted
according to the metro
line color.
Supply Chain in Delhi Operations
• Collection of Dabbas
• Dabbas reach the source Metro station
• Dabbas are sorted according to the destination
Metro station line color & loaded in trains
• Once sorted, the dabbas start their journey for
the destination metro station
• Dabbas out for delivery
• Reverse process for delivery of empty dabbas
Conclusion
• The Dabbawala system can be implemented
in Delhi too
• May face problems in the initial stage of
introduction
• Can utilize the large Delhi Metro network
• Can take advantage of Delhi’s population and
build a good customer base
