Management Comments :
Commenting on the performance, Mr. Rampraveen Swaminathan, Managing Director and CEO of Mahindra Logistics Ltd. said,    “In Q3 F23, we consolidated our performance across integrated logistics portfolio.  Revenue grew by 17% with a 42% YoY increase in EBITDA. Growth was driven for services and solutions by Automotive & manufacturing segments continued their growth trajectory, while the consumer and ecommerce businesses did witness a softer demand environment. Freight Forwarding faced significant headwinds with rates dropping significantly in the near past. Our 3PL business continues to have traction in margin improvement and cost optimisation and we continued our focus on cost of delivery and overhead optimisations which has led to improved Gross Margins and profitability metrices. We are excited about the acquisition of Rivigo’s B2B express business, which was closed in November, 2022. The acquisition is making positive progress on  customer value creation and cost optimization. The acquisition further enhances our technology portfolio for integrated logistics..”
