He also stated that the forthcoming acquisition of KWE's investment in Gati will allow for greater collaboration between the two organisations, allowing them to better use each other's strengths, with Allcargo purchasing complete stakes in both businesses.

The board of directors also approved the sale of the group's smaller non-core customs clearance operation. As a result, Allcargo would sell its 61.13 percent ownership for Rs 42 crore in enterprise value.

Shetty stated that this sale is part of the process of abandoning non-essential businesses in order to combine core businesses.
