OUTLOOK AND GROWTH DRIVERS
India’s maritime and industrial logistics sector is supported by port capacity additions, domestic manufacturing growth and policy support for clean freight. Paradip Port, the Company’s primary operating hub, handled a record 156.45 MMT of cargo in FY26 and is undergoing a 25 MTPA Western Dock expansion, with Phase I of 12.5 MTPA under commissioning. This is expected to create opportunities in cargo handling, rake movement and intra-port logistics.
The Company is focused on deepening its presence at Paradip Port and IFFCO’s Paradip facility, scaling Green Logistics under the Government of India’s PM E-DRIVE framework, and expanding its transportation fleet by approximately three times. These initiatives are expected to support growth and operating leverage through H2 FY27 and beyond.

“We are pleased to report a resilient and profitable performance in H1 FY27, with consolidated revenue growing 17.6% YoY to ₹216.64 crore and EBITDA rising 27.6% YoY to ₹34.40 crore.
