"Our 3PL contract logistics, cross-border and last-mile delivery segments registered strong growth driven by account additions, new offerings and a stable cross border pricing environment," says Rampraveen Swaminathan, Managing Director and CEO, Mahindra Logistics. "During the quarter, we expanded our offerings for transportation & green logistics. We continue to expand the overall network, with new infrastructure expansions in the east to support warehousing, last mile and express segments, which should help drive future growth.
“With the upcoming peak in Q3, we have expanded capacity and resources in contract logistics and last mile delivery, having a seasonal impact on operating earnings in the quarter. A soft demand environment and operating conditions impacted the express business. We believe H2 will be stronger driven by the festive peak and impact of margin improvement programmes across all the businesses.”
