Shares of Allcargo Terminals, the demerged entity of Allcargo Logistics, surged nearly 7% on Thursday after the company reported a sharp rise in FY26 profit, aided by higher cargo volumes and operational efficiencies.

The stock jumped as much as 6.97% to ₹26.06 on the BSE after opening in the green. At the time of reporting, the stock was trading 4.43% higher at ₹25.44, taking the company’s market capitalisation to ₹641.24 crore.

The logistics infrastructure company reported a consolidated net profit of ₹44 crore for FY26, registering a 46% year-on-year increase from ₹30 crore in the previous fiscal. EBITDA rose 26% year-on-year to ₹162 crore, while revenue from operations increased 8% to ₹821 crore.

Operational performance also remained strong during the year, with cargo volumes rising 7% year-on-year to 7.23 lakh TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units), supported by improving EXIM trade activity and higher throughput at key ports.

For the March quarter, revenue climbed 12% year-on-year to ₹208 crore, while EBITDA grew 31% to ₹44 crore. The company posted a profit after tax of ₹8.8 crore in Q4FY26 compared with a loss of ₹2.4 crore in the year-ago period.

Commenting on the performance, Suresh Kumar R, Managing Director of the company, said FY26 marked a year of strong progress as the company moved ahead with its three-year growth strategy.

“FY26 was a year of strong progress and purposeful groundwork toward ATL’s three-year ambition. Supported by India’s growing EXIM momentum and our focused capacity expansion at key ports, PAT grew 46% over the previous year,” he said.

He added that the company’s continued focus on operational efficiency and customer service helped it achieve record annual cargo volumes.

“We are well positioned for the future and remain committed to contributing meaningfully to India’s expanding EXIM ecosystem and logistics infrastructure development,” he said.

During the year, the company expanded capacity at one of its two facilities at Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNPT) and secured a 10-year extension for the second terminal. Construction of its PFT-ICD project at Farukhnagar also began in the fourth quarter, marking another milestone in its expansion plans.

Allcargo Terminals Limited became an independently listed entity in August 2023 following its demerger from Allcargo Logistics. The company operates container freight stations and inland container depots across major logistics hubs including JNPT, Mundra, Chennai, and Kolkata.

The company said it remains focused on strengthening its logistics infrastructure footprint and exploring opportunities in multimodal logistics parks and related terminal businesses as India’s trade activity continues to expand.
