Operates a surface goods transport business in India using an owned fleet of about 6,000 vehicles running across 24 states and 4 union territories, served through a network of 1,293 branches. The vast majority of revenue comes from goods transport by road, which contributed 87.2% of segment revenue in the period disclosed, moving consignments for a customer base of over 10 lakh; textiles are the largest commodity vertical at 17-18% of tonnage and door-to-door deliveries account for 38-40% of volume. Bus operations and sale of power, which together made up about 12% of segment revenue, have been classified as discontinued and hived off to a promoter-owned entity. The cost base is dominated by other operating expenses (61.6% of revenue), primarily fuel, lorry hire and vehicle running costs, followed by employee costs at 18.2% and depreciation at 8.1%, with no material input costs. The business is asset-heavy: capex was 9.3% of revenue in FY26 (₹298 cr split between vehicles and land/buildings) and management has guided ₹300-350 cr for FY27, including 500 new vehicles and roughly 100 net new branches. EBITDA margin is held in the 20-21% band through selective route hikes, a fuel surcharge mechanism and exit from low-margin contracts. AR · MarketPing reader · 2026-08-02

This document is a statistical summary of publicly filed information and market data, prepared by software from primary sources: SEBI results XBRL filed with BSE and NSE, LODR disclosures, shareholding patterns, exchange price data. It contains no research recommendation, no price target and no opinion on the merits of any security, and is not a research report within the meaning of the SEBI (Research Analysts) Regulations, 2014, Regulation 2(1)(w)(vii). Financial statements are as filed (consolidated where the company files consolidated results). Ratios are computed over filed lines. Where a figure is unavailable the table shows a dash rather than an estimate. The business brief is written by MarketPing's reader from the annual report and checked against it; no figure in a table was generated by a model. Nothing here constitutes investment advice, an offer or a solicitation; readers should consult a SEBI-registered adviser before acting. MarketPing is not a SEBI-registered intermediary.
