Good afternoon, everyone, and a very warm welcome to our Q4 and FY '26 earnings conference call. Thank you for joining us today and for your continued interest in Allcargo Logistics. Our financial results and earnings presentation for the quarter and the financial year ended March 2026, have been uploaded onto the stock exchanges, and I trust you have had the opportunity to review the numbers. I will share a brief overview of the macroeconomic environment, while global growth has moderated, India still continues to demonstrate resilience. According to the IMF, domestic economy is expected to grow at about 6.5% in FY '27, supported by strong consumption, sustained public capex and improving private investments. The continued policy focus on infrastructure development is improving logistics efficiency and supporting higher freight movement, creating a favourable environment for organized players like Allcargo Logistics and others. High-frequency indicators remain encouraging. E-way bill
