Indias logistics sector demonstrated resilience in the financial year 2025-26, supported by strong tailwinds across key verticals. The rise in e-commerce and quick commerce drove significant demand for last-mile delivery and contract logistics, while sustained growth in auto, pharma, consumer goods, and telecom increased freight volumes across contract logistics and express services in those sectors. Despite supply chain disruptions emanating from geopolitical tensions, the domestic logistics market remained on a firm growth trajectory, underpinned by rising consumption, improved connectivity and a more technology-enabled logistics ecosystem.

The Company has reached a meaningful inflection point, returning to profitability in the third quarter of financial year 2025-26 after eleven quarters of losses. This turnaround is a direct outcome of focused operational interventions, sharper execution on the ground, tighter cost discipline, and a more structured approach to customer and contract management. The stabilisation of leadership and operating teams has been central to this progress, with clearer ownership at ground level, stronger cross-functional alignment, and re-establishing execution rigour across regions and business lines enabling faster decision-making and consistent service delivery.

The Third-party Logistics business demonstrated strong operating momentum with revenue growing steadily driven by execution rigour and customer level profitability management. The Company is calibrating its own fleet usage on specific high-demand lanes, guided by a disciplined capital allocation framework anchored on utilisation, yields, and return metrics.

The Express business delivered healthy volume growth with improving yield levels, reflecting improved network discipline, go-to-market focus and improved service levels. Gross margins turned positive in the second quarter of financial year 2025-26, driven by stronger unit economics. Multiple operational initiatives currently underway are beginning to yield tangible results, reinforcing confidence in the scalability and profitability of this business.

The Last-Mile delivery business faced continued margin pressure stemming from pricing headwinds and select site-level strategic decisions. However, operational excellence remained evident with the business receiving multiple accolades from leading e-commerce partners for delivery quality, reliability, and performance during the festive peak season.

The Freight-Forwarding business delivered resilient performance, with topline expansion driven by improved trade flows, operating leverage, and a well-diversified customer base. This performance is particularly noteworthy given the prevailing global trade uncertainties, underscoring the operational maturity and adaptability of the business.

The Mobility business grew well across B2B and B2C segments. Operational focus centred on improving fleet utilisation in the asset-heavy segment. The launch of a new premium B2C brand signals a strategic step-up in service positioning.

Overall, the operational transformation at the Company is gaining momentum across business lines. Pricing discipline, contract rationalisation, cost efficiency, and accentuating the Mahindra culture are collectively driving a more resilient and scalable operating model, positioning the Company well for sustained profitability improvement ahead.

X. General

The Directors state that no disclosure or reporting is required in respect of the following items, as there were no transactions/events related to these items during the financial year under review:

• Issue of equity shares with differential rights as to dividend, voting or otherwise;

• Issue of sweat equity shares to employees of the Company under any scheme;

• Significant or material orders passed by the Regulators or Courts or Tribunals which impact the going concern status and the Companys operations in future;

• Raising of funds through Preferential Allotment or Qualified Institutional Placement;

• Voting rights which are not directly exercised by the employees in respect of equity shares for the subscription/ purchase of which loan was given by the Company (as there is no scheme pursuant to which such persons can beneficially hold shares as envisaged under Section 67(3)(c) of the Act);

• Suspension of trading of equity shares of the Company;

• Revision made in Financial Statements or the Boards Report of the Company;

• There was no one-time settlement done by the Company and hence the provision of details of difference in valuation arising between such one-time settlement and the loan taken from the Banks does not arise.
