Logistics unicorn Delhivery reported a 114 percent year-on-year (YoY) rise in its consolidated profit at Rs 25 crore for the third quarter of financial year 2024-25 (FY25), compared to Rs 11.7 crore a year ago, when it turned profitable for the very first time since listing in 2022.
The company's margin grew at 4.3 percent for the third quarter as against 5 percent a year ago. It had posted a profit of Rs 10.2 crore in the second quarter of 2025-26.
The Gurugram-based company's revenue from operations stood at Rs 2,378 crore in Q3FY25, up 8 percent YoY from Rs 2,194 crore in Q3FY24. Delhivery’s revenue in the previous quarter had come in at Rs 2,190 crore.
“Profitability continued in Q3 despite broader industry headwinds and December has been our highest volume month in PTL (Part Truckload) thus far post integration of Spoton, which has continued into January as well,” said Sahil Barua, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Delhivery.
“On the back of growing revenues, rising profitability and a high-quality network, we continue to strengthen our competitive position in the industry,” Barua added.
Delhivery’s Part Truckload revenue grew 22 percent YoY to Rs 462 crore in Q3FY25 from Rs 379 crore in the year-ago period. Its volumes saw a robust volume growth of 17 percent YoY to 412,000 MT in during the quarter, from 354,000 MT in Q3FY24, the company said.
Its core Express Parcel business saw revenue grow by 3 percent YoY to Rs 1,488 crore in Q3 FY25 from Rs 1,448 crore in the same period last year. The shipments of this business grew 2 percent YoY to 206 million in Q3 FY25 from 201 million in Q3 last year, Delhivery said in a statement.
“Truckload service revenue grew 5 percent YoY to Rs 160 crore in Q3 FY25 from Rs 153 crore in Q3 FY24. Cross Border services revenue grew 12 percent YoY to Rs 43 crore in Q3 FY25 from Rs 39 crore in Q3 FY24,” the company added.
After a surprise profit for the first time in the December quarter (Q3FY24) last year, coinciding with a seasonal spike in e-commerce sales due to festive demand, Delhivery's bottomline had slipped back into the red in Q4FY24. The company went on to become profitable in the following quarter (Q1FY25), and has since then been in the black.
