Management Comments :
Commenting on the performance, Mr. Rampraveen Swaminathan, Managing Director and CEO of Mahindra Logistics Ltd. said, Despite the muted demand environment, the quarter gone by saw healthy order booking in 3PL and cross border business. The cross-border business saw good traction, driven by a growth in demand for inbound ocean cargo. The Mobility, Last Mile Delivery and auto outbound logistics business 2x2, continued their improvement journey and delivered a healthy performance. Earnings were impacted due to extended start-up costs, coupled with higher manpower and Warehousing lease costs. The Express business was impacted by lower volumes, which was offset by our cost optimization initiatives. We expect to see strong improvement in the overall operating performance in later part of the year.
