Delhivery Limited reported a 28% year-on-year increase in revenue from services to ₹2,931 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY27), driven by a 55.2% surge in express parcel volumes to 322 million shipments. The company confirmed that its acquisition of Ecom Express Limited is fully integrated, with total integration costs capped at ₹165 crore, significantly below the initial guidance of ₹300 crore. While consolidated net profit dropped 65% to ₹32 crore due to these one-time charges, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) stood at ₹76 crore, reflecting underlying operational resilience amidst rising fuel and labor costs. The financial results were published in Financial Express and Jansatta on August 9, 2026, following approval by the Board of Directors on August 8, 2026.
The Board of Directors approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results in compliance with Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP served as the independent auditor, issuing an unmodified review report. Management highlighted that future earnings will no longer be impacted by separate Ecom-related integration expenses, allowing for clearer visibility into steady-state profitability. The disclosure was also hosted on the company’s website as per regulatory requirements under Regulation 47.

Strategic Initiatives and New Business Growth
Delhivery launched several technology and welfare initiatives, including SmartNDR, an AI-powered service that has improved delivery success rates by up to 10% for over 500 clients, and Delhivery Maps, a location intelligence platform currently in discussions with over 200 enterprises. The company also commissioned its first Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) at a key fulfillment center. On the welfare front, it launched Vishram, a network of over 1,000 rest stops, and Abhayam, a comprehensive insurance and income support program for frontline workers. The Board authorized an investment of up to ₹50 crore in Delhivery Financial Services Private Limited (DFSPL), which recently received an NBFC license.
What the Numbers Show
The conclusion of Ecom Express integration marks a pivotal shift from transitional cost absorption to steady-state margin expansion. With ₹165 crore in integration costs fully recognized—well under the ₹300 crore guidance—the pressure on reported margins is set to ease. Although Adjusted EBITDA margin contracted slightly to 2.6% from 3.3% in Q1FY26 due to higher fuel and labor inputs, Service EBITDA remained stable at 13.1%. The company’s plan to introduce 5,000+ electric cargo vehicles in FY27 and activate fuel pass-through mechanisms should further mitigate input cost inflation, supporting the anticipated return to margin growth in subsequent quarters.
