Delhi High Court Grants Injunction Against Imposters Misusing 'Delhivery' Trademark

Justice Jyoti Singh passed the order on January 22, 2026, while hearing an interim injunction application in a suit filed by Delhivery after it discovered that fraudsters were impersonating the company to cheat members of the public.

Holding that a prima facie case of infringement and passing-off was made out, the Court observed that, “Comparison of the impugned marks used by Defendants No.1 to 6 shows that they are identical/deceptively similar to the registered DELHIVERY trademarks of the Plaintiff and are being used for identical services. The confusion amongst the members of public and consumer is, therefore, inevitable.”

Delhivery told the Court that it was founded in 2011 and operates a nationwide logistics network. The company stated that it owns registered trademarks for the name “DELHIVERY” and related logos, which have become closely associated with its services. It also claimed copyright over its official franchise and promotional materials.

According to the company, several unknown individuals were posing as Delhivery representatives and offering franchise and distributorship opportunities to unsuspecting members of the public. These persons allegedly demanded registration fees and refundable security deposits, while using look-alike website names such as delhevery.com and delhiverydistibutars.com among others to make the offers appear genuine.

The company further claimed that its logos and written material were copied and circulated without permission, misleading people into believing they were dealing with Delhivery.

After reviewing the material placed on record, the Court found that a strong prima facie case existed in favour of the company. The Court observed that the use of nearly identical names and websites for the same services was likely to cause public confusion and ride on Delhivery's reputation.

“Plaintiff has built a formidable goodwill and reputation through its services and it is prima facie evident that Defendants No.1 to 6 are offering services either by misrepresenting themselves as employees/executives of the Plaintiff or by using the impugned marks and the intent is to ride on the goodwill and reputation of the Plaintiff,” the Court said.

Accordingly, until the next date of hearing, the Court restrained the unknown persons from using the name “DELHIVERY” or any deceptively similar name in emails, websites, franchise documents, agreements or any other form of communication.

The Court also directed internet domain registrars to suspend and lock the fake websites and ordered banks, telecom companies, payment authorities and government departments to share identification and KYC details.
