Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?
- 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.

- 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.
