Quarter read
What the record says.
Blue Dart reported full-year FY26 revenue of ₹6,141 crore (+7% YoY) and PAT of ₹240 crore, with Q4 revenue of ₹1,533 crore (+8% YoY) and PAT of ₹43 crore. Growth was driven by sustained momentum in e-commerce and ground express, which now accounts for 40% of revenue (up from ~30% a few quarters ago). However, EBITDA margin declined sequentially due to mix shift toward heavier, lower-margin ground shipments, higher employee costs, and temporary local vehicle hiring cost spikes. Management guided no specific margin target but emphasized optimizing capacity and pricing discipline. The company expects ground to remain the growth engine, though margin expansion may be limited as ground costs are largely variable. A key risk is that rising ATF costs could pressure margins if fuel surcharge pass-through lags.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Recurring capex for engine/aircraft checks (C/D checks) expected to be ₹100-150 crore per year.
- Standalone capex (excluding aircraft) expected to remain around ₹120 crore, including IT and automation.
- Management declined to give a specific margin target, stating focus is on optimizing capacity and pricing to protect annual profitability.
Risks flagged
- Rising ATF prices in March will impact Q1 FY27 costs; fuel surcharge mechanism may not fully offset if prices rise sharply.
- Ground revenue share rising to 40% pressures overall margins as ground has lower per-kg realization and variable cost structure.
- Customers may shift to cheaper ground options as transit time differential narrows, impacting air volumes and mix.
Key quotes
- Ground continues to grow faster more than 10%... while the e-commerce on air has been steady not very much growth.
- The approach is to more balance to ensure the profitability in absolute terms.
- We do not provide the breakup for the of shipments or payload between air and ground being sensitive information.
