Logistics major Delhivery Ltd slipped into the red in the second quarter (July–September) of FY2025-26, as rising costs offset revenue growth. Despite a strong 17% year-on-year increase in income, the company reported a net loss for the quarter.
According to financial filings with the National Stock Exchange (NSE), revenue from operations stood at ₹2,559 crore, compared to ₹2,190 crore in the same period last year. Including non-operating income of ₹92 crore, the company’s total revenue reached ₹2,651 crore for the quarter.
However, due to rising expenses, Delhivery posted a net loss of ₹50 crore, against a profit of ₹10 crore in the same quarter last year. For the first half of FY26, the company’s profit dropped 37% to ₹40.5 crore, down from ₹64.5 crore in H1 FY25.
The company’s freight handling and servicing costs accounted for the largest share of expenses — 68% of total costs, which rose 12.5% year-on-year to ₹1,843 crore. While employee benefit expenses fell 22% to ₹425 crore, higher legal, depreciation, and overhead costs pushed total expenditure up 18% to ₹2,708 crore, compared to ₹2,294 crore a year earlier.
Delhivery’s core business segments include warehousing, last-mile delivery, and logistics management solutions, which continue to drive its operational growth despite margin pressures.
