1. RESULT OF OPERATIONS AND THE STATE
OF AFFAIRS OF THE COMPANY:
Fiscal 2026 the Company''s first full financial year
as a listed entity was a year of two contrasting
narratives: a cyclical contraction in reported
revenue and profitability driven by softer global
trade volumes and a second-half freight-rate
correction, and a material strengthening of
the Company''s balance sheet, asset base and
organizational platform. Management believes
both narratives are essential to a fair assessment
of the year.
During the financial year under review, the
Company recorded Revenue from Operations
of 772,258.81 lakhs, as against 794,117.27
lakhs in the previous financial year, representing
a decline of 23.22%. The Total Revenue of the
Company stood at 772,940.41 lakhs for FY 2025¬
26, compared to 794,254.19 lakhs in FY 2024¬
25, reflecting an overall decline of 22.61%. The
decrease in revenue was primarily attributable
to prevailing market conditions, fluctuations in
freight rates, and changes in business volumes
during the year under review.
Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and
Amortisation (EBITDA) for the Financial Year
2025-26 stood at 74,955.1 lakhs as compared
to 77,832.02 lakhs in the previous financial year.
Profit Before Tax (PBT) for the year under review
was 75,078.30 lakhs as against 77,586.61 lakhs in
FY 2024-25.
The Net Profit after Tax for FY 2025-26 stood at
73,771.62 lakhs as compared to 75,615.24 lakhs
in the previous financial year, reflecting a decline
of 32.8%.
The Company ended the year with a materially
stronger balance sheet. Net worth stood at
72,810 million as on March 31, 2026 (March 31,
2025: 7978 million), supported primarily by the
IPO proceeds and retained earnings. The debt-to-
equity ratio improved to 0.18x from 0.23x. Trade
receivables increased approximately 60% year-
on-year, reflecting a deliberate decision to extend
credit days selectively to support long-standing
customers through a volatile trade environment
and to secure new customer additions;
management regards this as a conscious working-
capital investment in the franchise, made from a
position of balance-sheet strength. Other current
assets increased in line with the business model''s
structural feature of early payments to shipping
lines and agents ahead of customer invoicing
(typically 15-20 days). Net cash used in operating
activities was (76879) million; capital expenditure
for the year was 7 100.9 million, principally towards
the addition of 25 owned commercial vehicles.

built on trust, reliability, and peace of mind.
