Segment growth included 3PL Contract Logistics at 10% (INR 4,743.66 Cr), Freight Forwarding at 20% (INR 305.53 Cr), and Last Mile Delivery (LMD) at 62.6% (INR 381.29 Cr). In Q2 FY26, consolidated revenue reached INR 1,685 Cr, up 11% YoY, driven by e-commerce and M&M Auto/Farm sectors.
Profitability Margins
FY2024-25 consolidated gross margin decreased to 9.35% from 9.55% due to higher operating expenses. However, Q2 FY26 gross margin improved to 10.1% from 9.2% YoY, driven by a favorable business mix and volume leverage. Net profit margin declined from 1.37% to 0.87% in FY25 due to increased finance costs and operating expenses.
EBITDA Margin
Consolidated EBITDA for FY2024-25 was INR 284.05 Cr, up from INR 229.04 Cr. For Q2 FY26, EBITDA stood at INR 85.1 Cr, a 28.16% increase from INR 66.4 Cr in Q2 FY25. The improvement is attributed to the curtailment of losses in the B2B Express business and operational synergies.
Capital Expenditure
The company has moderate capex plans for FY2026, which are expected to be met through available liquidity and internal accruals. Historical capex was impacted by the capitalization of assets and Ind AS 116 rental amortizations, contributing to increased depreciation expenses.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
ICRA reaffirmed ratings at [ICRA]AA (Stable) and [ICRA]A1+ for bank lines (INR 350 Cr) and assigned [ICRA]A1+ for Commercial Paper (INR 100 Cr). Borrowing costs are expected to decline following the prepayment of INR 556.3 Cr of debt using rights issue proceeds.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Primary input costs include Freight and related expenses (approx. 70-75% of operating costs), Labor and related expenses, Warehouse rent, and Fuel-linked transport costs.
Capacity Expansion
Warehousing revenue grew 20% to INR 333 Cr in Q2 FY26 due to the addition of new sites and volume ramp-ups. The company is targeting the elimination of 'white spaces' (underutilized capacity) by September 2026, having already achieved a 20% reduction.
Raw Material Costs
Operating expenses were 85.83% of revenue in FY25 compared to 84.54% in FY24. The increase was driven by inflationary pressures on labor and freight, which the company aims to offset through economies of scale and resource sharing.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Not applicable as a service provider; however, operational execution is tracked via NSL metrics (>90%) and a 20% reduction in warehouse whitespace to optimize fixed cost absorption.
Logistics & Distribution
Distribution and freight expenses are the largest cost component, contributing to the 85.83% operating expense ratio. The company uses volume scaling to mitigate these costs.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
10-12%
Growth Strategy
Growth will be achieved through three main levers: reducing interest costs via the INR 749.3 Cr rights issue, eliminating warehouse whitespace by September 2026 to lower rental drags, and turning the MESPL (Express) business profitable (which reached 0.2% gross margin in Q2 FY26).

Credit & Counterparty Risk
Prudent accounting measures are in place, such as the INR 4.8 Cr provision for a bankrupt 3PL customer, to reflect potential credit exposure on outstanding receivables.
