04 · Why it moved
Why the quarter looked the way it did
What drove revenue
Container throughput reached 168,659 TEUs during Q1 FY27, representing a 3% year-on-year increase, aided by additional transshipment volumes stemming from Middle East trade route shifts.
Dry bulk volumes stood at 520,478 metric tonnes (down 7% year-on-year due to lower mineral imports), while liquid cargo contracted 47% year-on-year to 221,180 metric tonnes due to reduced LPG and fuel oil shipments.
Revenue expansion was primarily anchored by the container and RoRo segments, offsetting volume contractions in liquid imports.
The container segment benefited from additional transshipment volumes arising from routing adjustments related to the Middle East conflict.
RoRo revenue expansion was propelled by higher unit volumes exported by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
What drove margins
EBITDA for the quarter was reported at INR 2,139.83 million, translating to a healthy EBITDA margin of 64%, compared to 59% in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
