    Why it matters

    Potential for significant value unlock from non-core assets, as market value is in 'triple digit figure' (crores).

    But till the final agreement gets signed, we cannot put anything on the record. But as I can rest assured, we are in the process to do something for that.

The average sales realization per kg improved by 18% to ₹58.64 in FY25, up from ₹49.60 in FY24, indicating a shift towards higher-value cargo and disciplined management.

    03

    Balance Sheet Strength & Deleveraging

    The company demonstrated a strong financial foundation as of March 31, 2025, with total assets of ₹168 crores and net worth increasing to ₹122 crores.

    04

    Strategic Initiatives & Infrastructure Development

    Patel Integrated Logistics remains optimistic about the logistics sector's future, supported by government policies and infrastructure development, including 1,000 new UDAN booths. The company's Board approved the acquisition of a 1-acre plot at Sanaswadi, Pune, for constructing a new warehouse, as part of its expansion plan. The company's existing investment properties and long-term leased warehousing assets, including the 99-year Bangalore facility, continue to support scalability without heavy CapEx.

However, the company's pan-India presence and focus on non-USA international routes have minimized the impact of specific regional issues like the India-Pakistan situation and new tariffs. While overall rates are 'getting harder', the company continues to expand its customer base to mitigate risk and improve turnover.
