Delhivery's Profit Streak Extends Into FY26 With Record Q1, Ecom Express Deal Recasts the Logistics Landscape

September 2025

In an environment where many listed startups still struggle to reconcile growth with profitability, Gurugram-based logistics powerhouse Delhivery is managing both — and in style.

After closing FY25 in the black for every single quarter, the company has opened FY26 with its strongest quarterly earnings to date. Revenue for the April-June 2025 quarter reached Rs.2,294 crore, while net profit rose nearly 68% year-on-year to Rs.91.1 crore. The numbers underline Delhivery's ability to scale while tightening operational discipline.

Investor sentiment has mirrored this performance. Just weeks after announcing its biggest acquisition yet — the Rs.1,369 crore purchase of rival Ecom Express in July — Delhivery's stock surged 5.32% on August 4, hitting a fresh 52-week high of Rs.452.75. Analysts have turned more optimistic, pointing to a combination of volume-led expansion, healthier margins, and a constructive demand outlook.
