Domestic ports achieved a record 27% market share and 73% EBITDA margin, while Mundra became India's first port to cross 200 MMT. Logistics revenue surged 39% YoY, driven by new asset-light services like trucking and freight forwarding. Management guided FY26 revenue of INR 36,000-38,000 crore and EBITDA of INR 21,000-22,000 crore, with capex of INR 10,000-12,000 crore.
