Revenue guidance

Category 4
  • Delhivery expects volume growth to be influenced by e-commerce headwinds; volume growth for FY26 is uncertain and depends on market growth and customer marketing investments.
  • The company sees potential for maintaining growth in line with market growth, but overall e-commerce volumes have been muted recently.
  • Non-marketplace volumes like D2C and SME segments are growing faster (D2C ~30%, SME >50%) and are meaningful parts of the business.
  • PTL (Part Truckload) business aims for 25%-30% growth in FY26, much higher than the general industry growth.
  • As some 3PL competitors scale back price actions, Delhivery may see revenue upside opportunities.
  • Steady-state EBITDA margins for Express Parcel expected around 17%-20%, with potential margin improvement as pricing stabilizes.
  • Overall, volume growth is expected to return to double digits if e-commerce marketing investments increase; otherwise, could remain in single digits.

Margin guidance

Category 3
  • Delhivery expects its Part Truckload (PTL) business to grow at an ambitious 25-30% in the next financial year, outpacing the broader market.
  • Express Parcel service EBITDA margins are targeted to stabilize within the 17%-20% range, with potential for modest improvement due to pricing efficiencies and an evolving industry structure.
  • Overall volume growth guidance for FY26 is uncertain due to e-commerce headwinds but growth is expected to be sustained in non-marketplace segments like D2C and SMEs.
  • Margins in PTL are expected to improve faster than Express due to better yields, heavier loads, and expanding reseller programs targeting high-margin routes.
  • Operating leverage has been muted due to investments and fleet costs but is expected to improve as volumes grow.
  • PAT showed continued improvement, reaching Rs. 25 crore in Q3 FY25; future PAT growth aligns with margin and volume improvements.
  • Capital expenditure to stabilize around 3.5%-4% of revenues, supporting capacity utilization rises.
