Blue Dart Express closed the March quarter with a consolidated net profit of ₹88.5 cr, up 81.2% from ₹48.8 cr a year earlier, while revenue climbed 15% to ₹1,657.7 cr. The stock finished 1.16% higher at ₹4,629 on the NSE.
EBITDA surged 33.5% to ₹261.2 cr, lifting the margin to 15.8% from 13.6% a year earlier. The lift outpaces the logistics sector average margin of 12.3% reported by the Federation of Indian Logistics and Transport (FILT) for the same period.
The 9‑12% domestic price hike announced on October 3 will take effect from January 1, 2027, depending on product and client profile. Chief Commercial Officer Dipanjan Banerjee said the revision is aimed at offsetting higher labour and utility costs, and will fund network optimisation and automation.
Managing Director Balfour Manuel added that the price change supports continued investment in air and ground infrastructure, positioning Blue Dart for growth as businesses expand across India. The company will report Q2 results on December 15, with analysts expecting a 6‑8% revenue lift as the price increase begins to take effect.
