Rating Details and Facility Enhancement
CARE Ratings has assigned a CARE A-; Stable rating to the company's long-term bank facilities worth ₹33.00 crore, while reaffirming the CARE A-; Stable/CARE A2 rating for long-term/short-term bank facilities of ₹260.00 crore, enhanced from the previous ₹255.00 crore.
| Facilities | Amount (₹ crore) | Rating | Rating Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long Term Bank Facilities | 33.00 | CARE A-; Stable | Assigned |
| Long Term/Short Term Bank Facilities | 260.00 (Enhanced from 255.00) | CARE A-; Stable/CARE A2 | Reaffirmed |
Key Rating Strengths
The ratings derive strength from Allcargo's strong pan-India presence and integrated logistics platform, supported by an extensive network spanning over 700 facilities, 90+ hubs, and 80+ logistics parks. The company services approximately 100% of serviceable PIN codes across the country and operates eight air logistics centres with a fleet of over 9,000 trucks.
The recent consolidation of express distribution and contract logistics under a single entity is expected to improve operational efficiency and enable end-to-end fulfillment solutions. This integration particularly benefits the automotive, engineering, and consumer fast-retail segments through cross-selling opportunities and better asset utilization.
Financial Performance and Capital Structure
Post demerger of the international supply chain business, the company reported total operating income of ₹1,961 crore in FY25. Revenue growth momentum continued in 9MFY26, with income rising by 6.63% to ₹1,544 crore from ₹1,448 crore in 9MFY25.
| Financial Metrics | FY24 (A) | FY25 (A) | 9MFY26 (UA) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Operating Income (₹ crore) | 12,971 | 1,961 | 1,544 |
| PBILDT (₹ crore) | 552 | 201 | 174 |
| Profit After Tax (₹ crore) | 138 | 32 | 5 |
| Overall Gearing (x) | 1.86 | 1.75 | NA |
| Interest Coverage (x) | 3.95 | 2.68 | 3.70 |
Operating profitability remained moderate with PBILDT margin at 10.25% in FY25, improving to 11.27% in 9MFY26. The capital structure has strengthened with overall gearing improving to 1.75x in FY25, expected to decline further with scheduled debt repayments and net worth accretion.
Rating Challenges and Outlook
The ratings are partly offset by moderate operating margins, concentrated revenue profile with approximately 64% derived from Surface Express business, and intense competition in the express/part-truckload segment. The company faces pricing pressure from unorganized players and well-funded new entrants.
CARE Ratings maintains a stable outlook, believing that Allcargo will benefit from the consolidation of express cargo and contract logistics businesses, resulting in operational and financial synergies backed by strong promoter group support.
Liquidity Position
The company maintains an adequate liquidity profile with cash and liquid investments of ₹160 crore as of December 31, 2025, against outstanding term debt of ₹30 crore. Working capital limit utilization averaged 18% for the 12 months ended January 31, 2026, indicating significant headroom within sanctioned facilities of ₹260 crore.
