| Metric | Q1FY27 | Q1FY26 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | ₹140.8 crore | ₹160.7 crore | -12.4% |
| Gross Profit | ₹16.2 crore | ₹13.4 crore | +21.4% |
| EBITDA | ₹6.7 crore | ₹5.2 crore | +30.3% |
| Net Profit | ₹0.3 crore | ₹0.4 crore | -6.2% |
What the Numbers Show
A notable divergence exists between top-line performance and operating efficiency. While revenue contracted by nearly 13%, operative expenses fell more sharply, dropping from ₹100.9 crore in Q1FY26 to ₹83.3 crore in Q1FY27. This cost discipline, combined with a higher proportion of revenue coming from the HCV dealership vertical—which typically carries different margin dynamics than pure logistics—drove the substantial expansion in gross and EBITDA margins. However, finance costs rose to ₹3.5 crore from ₹2.9 crore, pressuring the bottom line and resulting in a slight 6.2% decline in net profit after tax.
Operational Highlights
The company handled 21,565 containers in Q1FY27, maintaining its operational scale with a fleet of 417 trucks. Average realization per container improved slightly to ₹51,491 from ₹49,368 in Q1FY26. The management highlighted strengthened long-term rate contracts with major carriers and new train chartering movements as key initiatives supporting future resilience.
