09 Feb 2026 CW Team

Total throughput for Q3 FY26 stood at 190,675 TEUs, registering a 4.74 per cent increase over the corresponding quarter last year. Rail volumes rose by 10.97 per cent to 102,575 TEUs, while the CFS vertical handled 88,100 TEUs. On a year-to-date basis, total throughput grew 6.61 per cent to 575,887 TEUs.

Total revenue for the quarter increased sharply by 39.10 per cent to Rs 56.62 billion, compared to Rs 40.70 billion in Q3 FY25. EBITDA rose 26.67 per cent to Rs 12.82 billion, while profit before tax increased 11.87 per cent to Rs 7.20 billion. Profit after tax for the quarter stood at Rs 6.72 billion, up 3.74 per cent year-on-year. For the year to date, revenue reached Rs 169.08 billion, reflecting growth of 45.85 per cent.

The company declared a second interim dividend of Rs 0.75 per share for FY26, along with a special interim dividend of Rs 1.25 per share. The special payout marks GDL achieving a net debt-free position for the first time since inception and commemorates 30 years since the acquisition of land for its first facility at Nhava Sheva.

Financials also reflect the consolidation of Snowman Logistics Limited as a subsidiary from 24 December 2024. Adjustments have been made to exclude exceptional income of Rs 39.08 billion arising from fair valuation at the time of consolidation, ensuring comparability of results.

Commenting on the performance, Prem Kishan Dass Gupta, Chairman & Managing Director, said that although the third quarter is typically weaker, the company continued to deliver strong results. He highlighted optimism around recently announced free trade agreements with the EU and the US, which are expected to boost global trade for India once ratified.

GDL has recently commenced domestic rail services from its MMLP at New Ankleshwar and is witnessing sustained traction. To support growth, the company is expanding rail capacity through the addition of three new high-capacity rakes and upgrading leased assets, taking the total fleet to 37 rakes by the end of Q1 next year. It has also announced the acquisition of around 25 acres for a greenfield inland container depot near Pithampur, Indore, involving an investment of about Rs 15 billion, and continues to evaluate further rail network expansion opportunities.
