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.
दिलीवरी ने तीसरी तिमाही में 2,378 करोड़ रुपये की कमाई की, जो पिछले साल से 8.4% ज़्यादा है। कंपनी ने 102 करोड़ रुपये का EBITDA (कमाई में से खर्च निकालने के बाद बचा मुनाफा) और 25 करोड़ रुपये का शुद्ध मुनाफा कमाया। एक्सप्रेस पार्सल (जल्दी डिलीवरी वाले पैकेज) की संख्या सिर्फ 2.4% बढ़ी, क्योंकि ई-कॉमर्स की बिक्री धीमी रही और बड़े बाज़ार खुद डिलीवरी करने लगे। PTL (थोक माल ढुलाई) 17% बढ़कर 4,12,000 टन हो गई। कंपनी का कहना है कि जल्द ही एक्सप्रेस सेवा का मुनाफा 17-20% तक पहुंच जाएगा। रैपिड कॉमर्स (2 घंटे में डिलीवरी) तीन शहरों में शुरू हो गई है, और अगले साल 80-100 करोड़ रुपये की कमाई का लक्ष्य है। मुख्य जोखिम यह है कि घाटे में चल रही कंपनियां कम दाम पर सेवा दे रही हैं, लेकिन प्रबंधन को उम्मीद है कि जल्द ही उद्योग में सुधार होगा।
