1.At a Glance
Ladies and gentlemen, meetTejas Cargo India Ltd (TEJASCARGO)— the logistics player that went from a Haryana truck yard in 2021 to a ₹701 crore market cap in just four years. The current stock price of ₹293 might not buy you a full tank of diesel these days, but it does represent a company that’s grown revenue from ₹209 crore in FY22 to ₹550 crore in FY25 — a growth rate even Ola drivers would envy.
Q2 FY26 numbers tell us Tejas has once again parked its trucks in the fast lane — with revenue of ₹301 crore (up 19.4% QoQ) and profit at ₹12.6 crore (up a juicy 43.6% QoQ). The company now runs a fleet of 1,231 vehicles, clocking over 98,913 trips annually — meaning some poor Excel sheet is crying under all that trip data.
Its lateston-time delivery ratestands at 78.13% — better than most Indian trains, honestly. ROE stands at 16.7%, ROCE at 15.6%, and a P/E of 30.5 keeps it slightly premium but still grounded for a logistics firm with this kind of traction.
Now, it’s time to reverse park into the details. Strap in.
2.Introduction
Picture this: 2021 — COVID still haunting supply chains, diesel prices spiking faster than Bitcoin, and India’s logistics scene more chaotic than a Delhi wedding baraat. Amid all this, Tejas Cargo India Limited rolls onto the scene with the quiet confidence of a truck driver who’s seen every ghat section twice.
Fast forward to FY25 — this Faridabad-based company now runs a pan-India road logistics empire across 10 states, touching sectors from FMCG to steel and e-commerce. The company’s secret sauce? A solid Full Truck Load (FTL) model that doesn’t waste time in half shipments — because half loads are for amateurs.
Tejas doesn’t just drive trucks; it drives data — from IoT-enabled tracking to route optimization. In an industry still dependent on calls like“Bhaiya truck kidhar hai?”, Tejas says, “Bro, we have real-time GPS — calm down.”
And while most logistics firms are still figuring out how to lease vehicles without losing money, Tejas is already transitioning to a hybrid model of owned + leased fleets, cutting capex like a true finance graduate who’s seen too many interest rate charts.
So yes, this isn’t just another transport story — it’s a roadmap from diesel to discipline.
3.Business Model – WTF Do They Even Do?
At its heart, Tejas Cargo is India’s long-haul logistics workhorse. The company’s main business isFull Truck Load (FTL) road transportation, which is essentially the logistics equivalent of “no sharing, bro — entire truck is mine.”
They specialize in serving multiple industries — logistics (60.77% of FY24 revenue), e-commerce (21.83%), industrial and chemicals (8.42%), FMCG & white goods (4.07%), and steel & cement (2.59%). Basically, if it can fit in a truck, Tejas can move it.
Their services include:
- Shipment planning and route optimization (aka making Google Maps their best friend)
- Fleet selection and allocation
- Compliance management
- Real-time tracking and performance evaluation
The business runs on three legs — like every truck should:
- Own Fleet to Clients (60%)– Company-owned vehicles serving contractual clients.
- Own Fleet to Market (4.7%)– Company trucks rented to open-market transporters.
- Market Fleet to Clients (35%)– Third-party trucks leased to complete larger contracts.
This mix ensures operational flexibility and protects against asset-heavy fatigue. But the interesting twist? Tejas is expanding intorail logistics. Yep — the road guys are now eyeing tracks, having applied to lease a train from CONCOR (Container Corporation of India). So next time someone says “Tejas Express,” you might have to ask — “Which one?”
4.Financials Overview – Quarterly (Standalone)
| Metric | Sep 2025 (Latest Qtr) | Sep 2024 (YoY Qtr) | Mar 2025 (Prev Qtr) | YoY % | QoQ % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | ₹301 Cr | ₹253 Cr | ₹249 Cr | 19.0% | 20.9% |
| EBITDA | ₹43 Cr | ₹43 Cr | ₹54 Cr | Flat | -20.3% |
| PAT | ₹12.6 Cr | ₹8.8 Cr | ₹10.0 Cr | 43.6% | 26.0% |
| EPS (₹) | 5.25 | 4.97 | 4.35 | 5.6% | 20.7% |
Data Type:Quarterly (Half-yearly reporting).Annualised EPS = 5.25 × 4 = ₹21.0 per share.At ₹293 CMP, P/E recalculated ≈13.9x annualised(not bad for a logistics stock growing 45% profit YoY).
Commentary:Revenue acceleration is
real — +19% YoY and +21% QoQ — showing strong fleet utilization and rising freight yields. Profit growth outpaces revenue, suggesting cost discipline (or just good diesel karma).
5.Valuation Discussion – Fair Value Range (Educational)
Let’s break this down like a transport invoice:
a) P/E Method:Industry average P/E = 25.9x (as per peers).Company EPS (annualised) = ₹21.0.→ Fair Value Range = ₹21 × (25x to 35x) = ₹525 – ₹735.
b) EV/EBITDA Method:EV = ₹871 Cr; EBITDA (TTM) = ₹106 Cr.Current EV/EBITDA = 8.2x.Industry average ~10x.→ Fair Value Range = (8x to 11x) = ₹275 – ₹380 (near current levels).
c) DCF Method (simplified):Assuming 15% growth in free cash flow over 5 years, discount rate 12%.DCF suggests intrinsic value ≈ ₹400–₹450.
Fair Value Range (Educational Only):₹380 – ₹700.
