Management Perspective
Commenting on the performance, Mr. Chander Agarwal, Managing Director, said:
"Q1 FY2026 marked a steady beginning for TCI Express, with the Company sustaining its momentum through a disciplined operational approach and continued investments in network expansion. The performance during the quarter reflected a balanced contribution from all service verticals, supported by evolving customer needs, growing demand across industrial segments and the Company’s strategic focus on multimodal logistics.
The Surface Express division remained the largest contributor to overall business, aided by robust traction in sectors such as retail, automotive and industrial goods. Customer trust and volumes were sustained through consistent operational excellence and reliable service. The Rail Express segment continued its network enhancement efforts, with improved infrastructure support and growing preference for rail-based solutions due to their cost-effectiveness and environmental benefits. Furthermore, our Domestic Air Express segment continued to expand its last-mile connectivity, while International Express registered healthy growth, supported by increased cargo volumes of 100 tons handled through multiple Indian gateways. Focused efforts to expand the overseas customer base further supported momentum, contributing to 33.25% year-on-year revenue growth. Additionally, our C2C segment recorded a growth of 14%+ in Q1 FY26, reflecting our continued efforts to diversify and strengthen revenue streams across business segments.
During the quarter, we successfully added 10 new branches to strengthen last-mile delivery and enhance customer accessibility in key regions. Additional we have commissioned our new sorting centres in Nagpur, Raipur and Indore, collectively spanning over two lakh square feet. These advanced facilities mark a major milestone in our infrastructure journey and significantly expand our presence in Central India.
Our multimodal express capabilities remain a key pillar of our long-term strategy, contributing positively to performance in Q1 FY26. Despite prevailing industry challenges such as elevated freight rates, inflationary labour costs and higher compliance-related expenses, our asset-light model, supported by agile network management, has ensured stable freight pricing and consistent service performance. To further strengthen this segment, we are expanding infrastructure to increase the contribution of rail and air express services, enabling greater operational flexibility and optimised service timelines across key sectors.
Through disciplined execution and a strong focus on cost efficiency, the Company maintained stable revenue performance during the quarter. This was supported by steady volumes, enhanced productivity, and an optimized cost structure. Profit After Tax stood at ₹21.0 crore, reflecting consistent operational performance.
TCI Express was once again certified as a Great Place to Work for the fifth consecutive year, reaffirming our commitment to a collaborative and inclusive work environment. As part of its CSR initiatives, the TCI Express Foundation, in collaboration with the TCI Foundation, continued to support community-focused programs. Notably, an Archery Academy was established in Khunti, Jharkhand to empower tribal children through structured coaching, quality equipment and regular training sessions. Additionally, outreach efforts continued during the quarter, supporting socio-economically disadvantaged communities.
Looking ahead, TCI Express will remain focused on expanding its infrastructure and strengthening service capabilities. The Company plans to replicate automation technologies at upcoming facilities and expand its network of branches, service points and delivery centres to enhance reach and efficiency. To drive growth in the Multimodal segment, efforts are underway to boost customer engagement and business development through dedicated sales initiatives. TCI Express is also targeting complex sectors like Aerospace and Engineering, while scaling its Air Express network to extend coverage beyond metros. With a clear roadmap in place, we remain committed to delivering long-term value through service excellence, innovation and strategic execution and we look forward to unlocking new growth opportunities in the quarters ahead.”

Growth Drivers: Logistics' Industry
Tax Benefits for the Logistics Industry Participants Union Budget 2025–26 boosts logistics with GST input credit simplification and reduced compliance for service providers. Tax exemptions for select logistics services improve SME cash flow. Lower import duties on EVs, hydrogen trucks and batteries support sustainable logistics adoption.
Trade Infrastructure for Export Scheme (TIES) The TIES scheme provides grants-in-aid to government-owned agencies for infrastructure projects with significant export linkages. The infrastructure includes Border Haats, Land customs stations, quality testing and certification labs, cold chains, trade promotion centres, export warehousing and packaging, SEZs and ports/airports cargo terminuses.
Establishing India as a Manufacturing Powerhouse The Government’s ‘Make in India’ vision, supported by the global ‘China Plus One’ strategy and targeted PLI schemes, is building a strong foundation for manufacturing growth. The aim to raise manufacturing’s share in GVA from 14% to 21% by FY2031–32 is expected to significantly boost demand for efficient, integrated logistics solutions across sectors. . Enhanced Multimodal Integration Across the States The ₹1.5 Trillion allocation in 50-year interest-free loans to states for infrastructure development is set to strengthen connectivity across road, rail and port networks. This initiative will enhance multimodal integration, driving efficient logistics movement and supporting long-term economic growth.
Automated Sorting and Robotics The adoption of automated sorting and logistics robots like Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) is transforming warehouse and supply chain operations. These technologies reduce parcel handling time, improve uptime and streamline workflows. By enabling precise, 24/7 goods movement, they enhance operational efficiency, minimise human error and offer scalability and cost advantages.
National Green Hydrogen Mission Launched with a ₹19,744 Cr outlay for FY2023–30, the Mission aims to position hydrogen as a key clean energy source. It promotes sustainability in logistics and infrastructure, with plans like a Green Hydrogen Hub in Kolkata and MoUs with global partners. The initiative targets 5 MMT annual production, curbing ₹1 Lakh Cr in fossil fuel imports and 50 MMT carbon emissions.
Dedicated Freight Corridors (DFC) DFC is a high-speed and high-capacity railway corridor that is exclusively meant for the transportation of freight. It will have positive impact on transportation and logistics sector as it will enable enhanced movement of Double Stack Container (DSC) trains, higher axle load trains, faster access of northern hinterland by Western Ports and development of new terminals with industries along the DFC.
Rural Logistics & Workforce Initiatives In Budget 2025–26, GoI plans to position India Post as a key logistics player via 1.5L rural post offices, 2.4L dak sevaks & IPPB. The move aims to boost the rural economy by supporting women, SHGs & entrepreneurs. 1,000 Dak Niryat Kendras to aid MSMEs & small exporters with free documentation & customs clearance, promoting exports and inclusive growth.

Market Challenges Impacting Logistics Sector
Key Factors Impacting the Logistics Sector
Purchasing Managers Index (Change in Index Points)
Lower CCI: Soft demand conditions led to a gradual tapering in activity, with volumes stabilizing at lower levels. This impacted movement across categories and kept utilization subdued.
Manufacturing Output: PMI remained subdued in April and May, reflecting broader industry headwinds at the start of the fiscal year
Unorganised Supply Chain: India’s fragmented logistics sector, dominated by small unorganised players, faces low coordination and limited tech adoption, leading to inefficiencies and resource wastage
Fluctuations in Oil Prices: Brent crude prices averaged US$74 per barrel, fluctuating between US$69 and US$90 due to geopolitical and economic shifts, making cost planning challenging and unpredictable
Complex Regulatory Ecosystem: India has a strong regulatory framework led by capable bureaucrats, but overlapping rules across departments like taxation, transport and commerce create a complex, time-consuming and costly compliance environment
Higher Reliance on the Road Network: Road transport, covering 60% of freight in India, faces delays due to congestion in cities and poor connectivity in rural areas, impacting last- mile efficiency and costs

Sectoral and Economic Dynamics Influencing Logistics
YoY growth of ICRA Business Activity Monitor
Broader Economic and Sector-Specific Headwinds
✓ Weak Performance across sectors: After a mild rebound in April, YoY economic activity growth continued to weaken in June 2025. The ICRA Business Activity Monitor rose by 5.9%, down from 6.4% in May and 9.9% in June 2024, indicating broad-based weakness across sectors. Growth decelerated in 7 of the 15 constituent indicators, impacted by excess rainfall (133% of LPA during June 15–30), early monsoon onset and localised geopolitical tensions.Electricity generation contracted by -6.9% (improving from -8.5% in May). Non-oil exports growth also moderated to +2.9% (from +5.1%) and GST e-way bill generation slightly improved to +19.3% (from +18.9%)
✓ Automotive Sector: Sectoral momentum weakened further in June 2025. PV
production declined sharply to -1.8% (from +5.4% in May) and 2W production slowed to +1.8% (from +4.9%). Vehicle registrations moderated to +4.7% (from +5.8%), likely impacted by heavy rains affecting footfalls and conversions.On a broader Q1 FY26 basis, domestic volume growth remained modest across categories: 2Ws (+1%), LCVs (0%), PVs (+3%) and MHCVs (+3%). The softness in production and registrations indicates a muted revenue performance for the auto sector
✓ Input Cost Inflation: Input costs remained elevated in June 2025, driven by higher prices for copper, electronics, LPG and rubber, putting continued pressure on margins across manufacturing-related sectors. While still below long-term averages, the trend points to caution on cost planning going forward
