Mumbai: Transport Corporation of India (TCI), a leading logistics and supply chain company, reported a strong financial performance for the first quarter (April–June) of the financial year 2025–26. The company posted a standalone profit after tax (PAT) of Rs 124.2 crore, a 19 percent increase compared to Rs 104.7 crore in the same quarter last year.
Revenue Up by Over 5 percent
TCI’s total revenue for the June quarter stood at Rs 1,033.8 crore, up 5.1 percent from Rs 984 crore in the same period last year. The growth was supported by stable demand in its key services such as multimodal logistics, warehousing, third-party logistics, and cold chain solutions.
Improved Operating Profit
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) came in at Rs 162.9 crore, up from Rs 144.7 crore in the first quarter of FY25. This shows the company managed its operations efficiently, despite challenges in the economy.
Company’s Focus Areas
Managing Director Vineet Agarwal said TCI has seen steady growth across its major business areas. He highlighted that even though some parts of the economy showed mixed trends, the company stayed strong by offering dependable and customer-friendly services.
Manufacturing Sector Boosted Demand
Agarwal added that the recovery in the manufacturing sector—especially in chemicals, engineering, and consumer goods—helped push up demand for better and larger logistics services. This trend worked in TCI’s favour, as more companies now look for reliable and scalable supply chain partners.
Investments in the Future
TCI is also investing in new technology, employee training, green logistics, and better infrastructure. This includes using AI in its standard operating procedures and building stronger multimodal transport systems. These efforts are aimed at keeping pace with India’s fast-changing logistics needs.
Outlook for Coming Quarters
The company expects to receive more orders in the upcoming quarters. TCI sees good opportunities ahead, especially with increased government focus on infrastructure and more global companies entering India for manufacturing.
This strong performance puts TCI in a good position to continue growing as India’s logistics sector expands.
