Management Comment

Commenting on the performance, Mr. Rampraveen Swaminathan, Managing Director and CEO of Mahindra Logistics, said, "We continue to witness a strong growth in revenue, driven by growth from new wins in E-commerce, Consumer & Freight Forwarding. Despite headwinds in the Auto industry, the focus on designing and delivering customized, integrated solutions continues to be a key driver for our growth. The mobility business continues to see a recovery with focus on new segments & customers. During the quarter, demand from the auto industry remained stressed due to shortage of semi-conductors. Wave 2 of the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in delays of new projects. Further, we continued to see a sharp increase in fuel costs. During the quarter, we added 1.3 mn sq ft of grade `A` warehouse capacity. MLL continues to leverage and build on its technology roadmap to offer best-in-class solutions to customers. Accordingly, we have piloted drone-based delivery of medicines in Telangana. We will continue to build new capabilities which will allow for better customer acquisition and retention. We are optimistic of continuing growth with the upcoming festive season and aim to sustain our focus on delivering technology-enabled, integrated solutions."
