Risks & concerns — 5 flagged
There has been some positive impact of the GST cut on the consumer side.
— Sahil Barua
Obviously, this year, there is the outsized impact of the Ecom Express acquisition.
— Sahil Barua
But I was trying to understand that, see, the estimate that you have given for employee expenses without the impact of Ecom Express is about 386 crores of a quarter, whereas that number is 426 crores actual, right?
— Abhishek Banerjee
Okay, just to get that understanding on the last part correct, you're not going to take the risk of financial risk on your books, it's not, you'll just be an arranger collecting service fees, is that a fair understanding?
— Koundinya Nimmagadda
So, our organic growth rate, it's very difficult to sort of comment exactly what it would have been.

Thank you, Dhruv, thank you, Ambit team. Welcome to all of you who have joined and thank you for joining this evening. As always, we will begin with a short presentation and then take questions. But, before we begin, as some of you are aware, we have been in the process over the last couple of quarters of rejuvenating the Delhivery Board. As part of this, Mr. Yashish Dahiya from Policy Bazaar and Professor Padmini Srinivasan joined our board last quarter. In this quarter, you will be aware that Mrs. Aruna Sundararajan will be stepping down from the Board of Delhivery. On behalf of the entire management team and the Board of Delhivery, I would like to extend our deepest gratitude. Mrs. Sundararajan has been on the Delhivery Board for the last three years and we have benefited immensely from her guidance. Also, I would like to formally congratulate Mr. Vivek Pabari, who will be taking over from Amit Agarwal as Chief Financial Officer of the company, and also place on record our gratitude
Vani Venkatesh
Thank you, Sahil. Thank you, Dhruv. I will quickly run us through the numbers. Our revenue from services was approximately Rs. 2,546 crores this quarter. That is a significant YoY growth of about 16% and a quarter growth of about 11%. This came in with an EBITDA of Rs. 150 crores. Again, a massive jump. Bear in mind that this quarter also takes in the peak-related costs. So, compared to Q2 last year where we had about Rs. 57 crores, this has jumped up to Rs. 150 crores. So, that is 5.9% on EBITDA margin. Our express parcel shipments showed significant growth. We ended the quarter at about 246 million express parcel shipments. That is a huge 32.5% growth YoY and 18% growth quarter on quarter. PTL continued to demonstrate stable, steady growth at about 477K tons. Overall, we ended the quarter with a PAT of about Rs. 59 crores, which is 2.2% compared to the same quarter last year where we were at about 0.4%. That is a significant jump in the number of basis points in the profit expansion

Thanks, Vani. We'll open the session for Q&A. Anyone who wishes to ask a question can raise their hand. The first question is from the line of Sachin Salgaonkar. Sachin, if you could just also speak about your organization name. Thanks.
Sachin Salgaonkar
Thank you. This is Sachin Salgaonkar from Bank of America. Three questions. First question, again, I wanted to understand a bit more on express parcel margins. Last quarter, before the acquisition of Ecom Express, your margins were 16%. Your shareholder letter does indicate that service EBITDA margins are expected to be in the range of 16 to 18% by the end of 2026. So how should we think about it? You know, at the low end, are there no benefits from the potential acquisition of Ecom Express? And at the high end, it's more like a two percentage point benefit in terms of acquisition of Ecom. Because one would have ideally thought, given the fact that synergies are high, margins could have, you know, further inched up. Let me pause here, and then I'll move on to other questions. Delhivery Ltd. Q2 FY26 Earnings Call Nov 5, 2025
Sachin Salgaonkar
Got it. And, you know, of course, a small follow-up on this question is what you guys are seeing from a next 24-month kind of a margin perspective. Is that a conservative way in terms of, you know, Sahil, how you guys are looking at it? Or, you know, one should think about the upside to that. So that's the first question. Second question, I wanted to better understand the Rs. 300 crore kind of envelope in terms of integration costs you guys talked about. Ideally, in acquisitions, we see these costs being front- end loaded versus distributed over a few quarters. So, any broad understanding or color in terms of how we could think about this entire distribution of a Rs. 300 crore cost, because this quarter we did see a Rs. 90 crore cost. So, I want to understand: will it be more back-end loaded or spread across the board? And third, supply chain margin. And while the opening remarks in your shareholder letter mentioned margins, what I wanted to understand is what has changed to cause marg
