directWhy did Express Parcel yield decline despite volume increase?
Fundamentally, the drop in yield is a function of volume mix... there is a double-digit decline in the average weight per parcel... It's just an organic shrinkage in yield and has nothing to do with pricing.

partialWhat is the volume and margin impact from Ecom Express consolidation?
What you're seeing in Q1 is actually a very minimal impact of volume transition from Ecom Express to Delhivery... The real impact actually is in July... there's a very materially higher trend for July... Broadly speaking, we anticipate that margins will actually expand as volumes go up, and we'll easily be in the 16% - 18% range.

partialHow does Quick Commerce create opportunity for PTL division?
The main opportunity that it creates is brands who work with big commerce companies... there's a large amount of B2B consignments that get shipped to both the mother warehouses of Rapid Commerce companies as well as the dark stores... It's actually been a pretty exciting part of the Part Truckload business over the last two or three quarters.

directHas competitive intensity changed after Ecom Express acquisition?
I think what we've seen is a reduction in the intensity of price competition... all of the contracts that we've negotiated with clients are at Delhivery pricing... The rational pricing has been cleaned out, at least out of what was the erstwhile Ecom Express network.

directWhat percentage of Ecom Express volumes have been retained?
We have retained significantly more than the 30% that was planned originally... we will be close to about perhaps somewhere in the 55% - 65% retained volume already, and this continues to rise month on month.

partialIs self-sourcing at horizontal players peaking as expected?
I think clearly we've retained more volume than we anticipated... we have gained share across all client types... the consolidation towards a quality partner who is reliable, that trend is also visible at the third marketplace.

directWhat are the recurring costs from Ecom Express from Q2 onwards?
In terms of recurring costs, there will be none, no further recurring costs, because as the volumes go up, it's as if we were expanding the Delhivery network itself.

directWhat gives confidence in supply chain services reaching INR 1,800-2,000 crore revenue?
We've got probably close to about INR 300 crore of sort of broad supply chain mandates which are in various stages of conversion... we probably have more than INR 1,000 crore in the pipeline... Fairly confident that we'll get to the INR 1,800 crore, INR 2,000 crore in SCS.

partialWhy is volume retention from Ecom Express higher than expected?
I think when we were evaluating the deal, it was our judicial responsibility to take a conservative view of the world... The reality of the market, however, is this... there's a flight to quality.

directWhat changes in KPIs are expected with Ecom Express consolidation?
The big change will really be one in the number of express delivery centers and partner centers. We're currently at about 4,500. My sense is you should see this number at probably close to about 4,750 - 4,800 by the end of the year.

partialWhat is Delhivery's market share in Express Parcel 3PL and where could it settle?
Our market share has probably expanded by about 25% or so, possibly higher, but I'm not entirely sure. I think that will become clear. I'll give you a much better answer maybe end of Q2, Q3 when things stabilize a bit more.

directIs PTL margin expansion to 15-18% dependent on volume growth?
My sense is at about 1.5 times the size, we should be at those numbers... Roughly at close to about 600,000 tons... of quarterly load... These three things should comfortably give us a 7% uptick on margin.
