What the record says.
Delhivery reported Q3 FY25 revenue of INR 2,378 crore, up 8.4% YoY, with EBITDA of INR 102 crore (4.3% margin) and PAT of INR 25 crore. Express parcel volumes grew only 2.4% YoY to 206 million shipments, reflecting muted e-commerce growth and in-sourcing by large marketplaces. PTL volumes rose 17% YoY to 412,000 tons, with service EBITDA margins improving to 3.8%. Management expects express service EBITDA margins to return to the 17%-20% range as fleet cost pressures normalize and PTL growth drives line haul efficiencies. Rapid commerce (2-hour delivery) is live in three cities with 50 dark stores planned, targeting INR 80-100 crore revenue in FY26. A key risk is continued pricing pressure from loss-making competitors, though management believes industry consolidation is imminent.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management expects express parcel service EBITDA margins to normalize to 17%-20% as fleet cost pressures reverse and PTL growth improves line haul efficiency.
- Management targets 25%-30% volume growth in the Part Truckload business next financial year, driven by expansion in unorganized market.
- Capital expenditure as a percentage of revenue is expected to decline to 3.5%-4% over the long term, with no major capacity additions planned.
- The two-hour delivery service is expected to generate INR 80-100 crore in revenue next financial year, with 50 dark stores in top eight cities.
Risks flagged
- Competitors may continue aggressive pricing to sustain volumes, delaying industry consolidation and pressuring Delhivery's margins.
- Overall e-commerce industry growth has moderated, with express parcel volumes growing only 2.4% YoY, limiting operating leverage.
- Marketplaces like Meesho have in-sourced volumes to their own logistics arms, reducing the addressable market for third-party players.
- Unexpected spike in intracity fleet costs during the festive season impacted Q3 margins by INR 12-15 crore, highlighting operational vulnerability.
Key quotes
- Our belief is that cumulative losses in this industry outside of Delhivery have increased between Q2 and Q3. I suspect that we should see correction in this, either in the form of increased pricing from other 3PLs who are finding current pricing unsustainable, which is good for Delhivery because either it manifests as increased volumes or increased price.
- If our customers shut down self-logistics arms, they would be able to inject $500 million back into marketing and growing the market. That's the biggest lever they have. And on behalf of the industry, we warmly encourage them to do that.
- The entry barriers in logistics, if you consider entry to merely be the ability to deliver a package, are zero. If you own a bike, you're a logistics company. So in that sense, I don't think that the entry barriers to logistics to start off are high.
