JALAN - Jalan Transol.
Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
The company operates in the logistics segment, primarily serving two-wheeler manufacturers. Total revenue from operations plummeted by 85.31% YoY, falling from INR 5.37 Cr in FY24 to INR 78.82 lakh in FY25. This drastic decline indicates a severe contraction in business activity, likely exacerbated by the ongoing Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP).
Geographic Revenue Split
The company maintains a pan-India presence with 25 branches located in major cities. While specific regional revenue percentages are not disclosed, the infrastructure supports nationwide logistics operations with a fleet of over 400 carriers.
Profitability Margins
Profitability is severely distressed. The company reported a negative net worth of INR 41.91 Cr as of March 31, 2025. For H1FY25, the company reported a PAT of INR 1.08 Cr, a recovery from the INR 15.62 Cr loss in FY24, though this may be due to accounting adjustments like write-backs rather than operational efficiency.
EBITDA Margin
The PBILDT margin in FY24 was approximately 9.12% (INR 0.49 Cr on INR 5.37 Cr revenue). However, for H1FY25, PBILDT turned negative at INR -0.23 Cr, reflecting a total loss of core operational profitability as revenue failed to cover fixed costs.
Capital Expenditure
Not disclosed in available documents. Given the negative net worth of INR 41.91 Cr and CIRP status, significant new CAPEX is unlikely.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
CARE Ratings has categorized the company under 'Issuer Not Cooperating' due to a lack of information. Previous ratings were reviewed based on best available information, and the company faces significant liquidity risks with current liabilities of INR 37.23 Cr dwarfing current assets of INR 49.50 lakh.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
The company identifies 'Cost of Raw Materials/Revenue' as a primary expense, likely referring to fuel, tires, and vehicle consumables, which totaled INR 92.92 lakh in FY25, representing 117.9% of total revenue.
Capacity Expansion
The current fleet consists of over 400 single and multi-axle carriers. No expansion plans are currently mentioned due to the company's insolvency status (CIRP).
Raw Material Costs
Raw material/revenue costs were INR 92.92 lakh in FY25, down 79.36% from INR 4.50 Cr in FY24. Despite the absolute decrease, these costs now exceed total revenue, indicating that the company is losing money on every trip executed.
Manufacturing Efficiency
The company has only 3 permanent employees as of March 31, 2024, down from previous levels, suggesting a skeleton operation focused on maintaining the fleet of 400+ carriers.
Logistics & Distribution
Distribution is the core business. Other expenses, including logistics-related overheads, were INR 19.54 lakh in FY25, a 25% decrease from INR 26.06 lakh in FY24.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
Not disclosed in available documents
Growth Strategy
The company intends to pivot toward cross-border e-commerce logistics, leveraging digital infrastructure to handle customs and duty laws. It also aims to benefit from government infrastructure investments which are expected to boost the logistics sector.
Products & Services
Logistics and transportation services using a fleet of 400+ single/multi-axle carriers, specifically tailored for two-wheeler manufacturers.
Brand Portfolio
Jalan Transolutions (India) Limited (formerly Jalan Carriers Private Limited).
New Products/Services
End-to-end solutions for cross-border e-commerce are planned, though no specific revenue contribution percentage is provided.
Market Expansion
The company is targeting the cross-border digital market, aiming to provide support for businesses facing language and payment barriers in international trade.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The industry is shifting toward digital cross-border markets and massive government-led infrastructure investment. Logistics firms are evolving into end-to-end solution providers rather than just transporters.
Competitive Landscape
The company faces intense competition from both local unorganized players and multinational logistics corporations.
Competitive Moat
The company's moat is its owned fleet of 400+ specialized carriers and a 25-branch network. However, this moat is currently unsustainable due to the negative net worth of INR 41.91 Cr and insolvency proceedings.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to interest rates and government infrastructure policy. Changes in taxation or economic developments in India directly affect the debt/equity ratio and liquidity.
Consumer Behavior
Rising per capita income and disposable income in India are driving demand for two-wheelers, which in turn drives demand for the company's specialized carrier services.
Geopolitical Risks
Cross-border delivery operations are subject to customs laws, duty regulations, and international payment barriers.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Operations are governed by government regulations on transport permissions and infrastructure laws. The company must comply with Ind AS 133 for financial reporting.
Legal Contingencies
The company is currently 'IN CIRP' (Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process), which is the most significant legal matter. Additionally, the auditor highlighted a lack of confirmation for INR 94.74 lakh in write-offs/backs.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
The primary uncertainty is the 'Going Concern' status. With current liabilities (INR 37.23 Cr) exceeding current assets (INR 0.495 Cr) by nearly 75 times, there is significant doubt about the company's ability to continue operations.
Geographic Concentration Risk
Operations are spread across 25 branches in India, providing some geographic diversification to mitigate regional economic downturns.
Third Party Dependencies
High dependency on two-wheeler manufacturers for cargo volumes; a slowdown in the auto sector would directly impact fleet utilization.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
The company identifies the need for robust digital infrastructure to remain competitive in the emerging cross-border e-commerce space.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Significant risk of fund blockage by customers, which has historically led to liquidity crunches and operational disruptions.
