This takes into account 3:1 bonus shares approved by shareholders for Allcargo Logistics recently.

The scheme is expected to be implemented in the period of 10-12 months, accounting for regulatory filings, stock exchange approval, shareholder approval, NCLT approval and ROC filings.

This will also establish financial accountability for the management team, comprising best in class senior & middle management team to drive the businesses forward with growth and return mindset with a digital first approach.

With the merger of Allcargo Supply Chain and Gati Express business, the scheme will create a strong P&L, balance sheet and cash flows to drive synergistic growth & expansion in the fast growing domestic logistics market to create an unmatched powerhouse in the domestic supply chain business."
