Allcargo Logistics reported ₹3,952 crore in consolidated revenue in Q4FY25, up 18% YoY, with EBITDA up 17% at ₹115 crore. But beyond numbers, it’s the massive corporate restructuring that’s turning heads — the company is demerging its international supply chain (ISC) biz and merging Express + Contract Logistics into one unified juggernaut. Welcome to the next evolution of Indian logistics.

📦 Business Highlights
📦 LCL & FCL Biz
- LCL growth muted at 1% (but still 8.9 million CBM, which is no joke)
- FCL volumes rose 7% YoY, driven by resilience in core trade lanes
- Air freight? Booming — 51% jump in Q4 volume YoY 💨
🏭 Contract Logistics
- Revenue jumped 48% YoY
- EBITDA only up 2% — white space drag continues, but management expects this to normalize
🚚 Express Logistics (Allcargo Gati)
- Revenue at ₹1,510 Cr (+2%)
- EBITDA grew 34% YoY
- Margin expansion: Gross profit up 80 bps, EBITDA margin up 110 bps
- This is impressive for a business that’s been bleeding in the past
🔄 Restructuring: The Allcargo Split That Could Multiply Value
In classic Indian conglomerate style, Allcargo is pulling a Mukesh Ambani — deconstructing to create value.
📌 What’s happening?
- ISC (International Supply Chain) will be demerged into Allcargo Worldwide Ltd.
- Contract Logistics + Express Business will be merged into Allcargo Logistics Ltd.
🧩 Result?
The Allcargo Group will now have 4 listed companies:
Company Name | Focus Area |
---|---|
Allcargo Logistics Ltd | Domestic logistics (post-merge) |
Allcargo Worldwide Ltd | Global ISC & freight |
Allcargo Terminals Ltd | ICDs & terminal ops |
TransIndia Real Estate Ltd | Infra & warehousing RE |
👀 Why should investors care?
- Clearer structure = Better valuation unlock
- Focused management for each vertical
- Potential for strategic stake sales, JVs, or IPOs in each entity
📊 Forward-Looking Fair Value (FV) Estimate
Let’s do a quick sum-of-the-parts guesstimate based on current structure:
Segment | FY25 EBITDA (₹ Cr est.) | EV/EBITDA Multiple | Value (₹ Cr) |
---|---|---|---|
Contract + Express | 160 | 10x | 1,600 |
LCL + FCL + Air Freight | 250 | 9x | 2,250 |
Real Estate + Terminals | 100 | 12x | 1,200 |
Total Enterprise Value | ₹5,050 Cr |
Current Market Cap: ₹3,300 Cr
Implied Upside: ~53% if restructuring delivers as expected

🌍 Industry & Outlook
- Geopolitical headwinds continue, but India’s rising share in global trade is a big tailwind
- Express logistics is seeing formalization push (e-invoicing, GST tracking = shift to organized players)
- Contract logistics is booming thanks to EVs, pharma, and e-commerce
- Demerger + focus = potential for Allcargo to be a multi-head monster that actually works
🧠 EduInvesting Take
If the logistics sector were a cricket team, Allcargo just dropped 2 slow players and got 2 all-rounders in return.
- The express biz is no longer bleeding red ink
- Contract logistics is quietly becoming a ₹2,000 crore giant
- The global ISC business is getting its own shiny new listed avatar
- And Allcargo is playing chess, not checkers — exactly what you want in a ₹3,000 Cr cap company looking to scale
⚠️ Risks & Red Flags
- Global trade slowdown due to Red Sea tensions or Chinese demand slump
- Post-demerger execution risk (we’ve seen demergers go wrong — cough Vodafone Idea)
- Margin pressure in Express due to pricing wars with Delhivery & Amazon Logistics
- Regulatory delays — NCLT timelines can be a blackhole
📆 What’s Next?
- Demerger expected to complete within 2 months (subject to NCLT, SEBI, shareholder approvals)
- Listing of Allcargo Worldwide Ltd to follow
- Market may re-rate the remaining Allcargo Logistics Ltd depending on how clean and focused the new avatar looks
