5. India Growth Story Y O U R B U S I N E S S T H I N K T A N K
• The Indian economy has demonstrated a V-shaped recovery in 2021, with an increase in consumer confidence, strong financial markets,
and an improvement in manufacturing and exports.
• India is among the fastest-growing economies in the world and it is set to surpass Japan and Germany to become the world's third-largest
economy by 2029.
• The most recent Industrial production numbers suggest that production expanded for the second consecutive month in December 2022,
but growth eased to 4.3% from 7.3% in the preceding month, as tepid manufacturing took the sheen off the sharp rebound in mining and
electricity.
• India's GDP is estimated to be 2.73 trillion USD, and the government has set a target to reach 5 trillion USD by 2025. According to World
Bank data, India's per capita GDP has grown significantly to 2100 USD.

• E-way bills can be considered as a high-frequency indicator of economic activity. More goods transported across the country in
December 2022 points towards strong GST collections in January 2023.
• The e-way bill generation had moderated in October 2022 from the level seen in September 2022 due to the higher number of holidays
in October.
• However, the e-way bill generation picked up momentum in November and December 2022 as consumption remained strong.

Management Comments
• In Quarter 3 of the financial year, the company has accomplished consistent performance amidst a
stable macro environment. All our business segments have delivered satisfactory results in line with
expectations
• While we keep a balanced view on the industrywide challenges around inflation and tightening of credit
we are confident of achieving our goals to build an integrated multi-modal logistics solutions
organization. At TCI, our value system and our people remain at the core our customers' success
• But certainly what we are seeing is that the consumer trends for this particular quarter are a little weaker
than the previous quarter
• But predominantly on the B2B side, which is where we are active, we are really not seeing any kind of a
slowdown or any kind of a degrowth happening.
• The freight business grew at about 14% in the quarter, and the company is confident of achieving a 40%
RoCE by 2025.

Management Comments
• We are glad to inform you that as we strategized to focus on high growth goods transport business the
exit from the remaining segment process has been completed as on date.
• The increase in revenue is mainly on account of increase in tonnage which has been reached to
10,10,000 tonnes in the current quarter as against 8,77,000 tonnes in the previous year which is
increased by almost around 15%.
• We added around 218 branches post pandemic and these branches have contributed around 12% to
the total tonnage in Q3. Our strategy of expansion of branch network is going to be continued. I am
planning to add around 25 to 30 branches every quarter especially in the untapped market.
• Some of the sectors have grown tremendously in the current quarter, to name a few the agro products
and equipment these commodities have been increased by around 47% on year-on-year basis, the
automobiles has been increased by around 25%, the educational goods related items which is
increased by around 31%, FMCG products are increased by around 23%, footwear is around 36%, and
metals and hardware around 28%.

We closed the quarter at about INR1,200 crores of revenue in Q3 FY2023. We delivered close to 170 million
shipments in Q3 FY2023.

Management Comments
• I’m glad to state that our flagship business of LCL consolidation, which is the — contributes to almost 70% of
gross profit in the international supply chain business, has continued to see market-share expansion. And for
the first time, we have now crossed 15% global market share in LCL as we speak today.
• On the FCL business, given the macroeconomic slowdown, we have seen a flattening of volume.
• On the trade lanes, we already operate about more than 2,400 direct trade lanes globally, which is by far the
highest for any LCL operator or any other carriers globally.
• From a freight trade perspective, we have already seen that freight trades have come back to the near pre-
COVID levels.
• Contract Logistics revenue for the quarter stood at almost INR100 crores and EBITDA stood at INR31 crores.
Compared to the CFS and ICD segments, we are poised to deliver growth to enhance customer experience
with My-CFS initiative and better import-export mix.

strengthening position in a key market
• ACCI has received NCLT order for de-merger of contract logistics

• Logistics
Key Financial Highlights
• Decline in revenue is largely on account of ocean freight rate decline, which is
mostly a pass through and hence a similar decline in operating expenses is also
visible, barring partial impact on FCL business and investments in new trade
lanes
• Increased SG&A is on account of inflation as well as business expansion, as we
continue to invest in people and capabilities to build new products and trade lanes

Management Comments
• So the overall margin figures have come down a little bit. But the good thing is domestic growth is
continuously there as we’ve seen last year, 30% plus growth.
• In the next four years, we are expecting lot of growth in domestic. And the important part which we all of us
here should note, the domestic revenues which used to be 20% of total revenues in the year 2015-2016 and
that was traditional 80:20 mix of the total revenue, and today it has come in this quarter to 65:35, and it will
further grow.
• We already crossed 3,000 double-stack trains in this year for the nine months, and this year, we are expecting
to cross more than 4,000 trains. It’s a record.
• So the market share in EXIM, we lost around 4%. It was 62.7%, it has come down to 58.3% when I look at all.
• Domestic margins, we work around 18%, and in EXIM, we work with the margins of almost 26%.
44. • An Indian public sector undertaking, engaged in transportation and handling of
containers, that came into existence in 1988.
• The company is currently under consideration for privatization, which involves
Government of India selling 30% out of its 54% holding.
• The formation of COCOR relieved the Indian railways of its inland container
depots (ICDs).
Domestic Services
The company has 22 exclusive domestic terminals. In domestic service,
CONCOR’s fleet has an approximate TEU of 20,000. While most of these are
owned, some of them are also brought on lease basis. The company also has
different types of special containers like Open Top, Side Doors, Tanks Ventilated,
etc.
Financial performance
In FY 2021-22, the company had a PE Ratio of 38.54. Income from operations
which increased by 18.9% in this FY was majorly because of EXIM segment. The
increase in revenue was mainly on account of increase in revenue from rail
freight, road freight, warehousing income and other operating income.

Management Comments
• Due to the global macroeconomic situation, there is a dip in throughput in Q3 particularly in the export
direction.
• Track upgradation work was taking place in NCR throughout the month of December, leading to slower
running of trains and reduced double stack and hub and spoke operations of the company
• The construction at the proposed inland container depot in Jaipur remains in progress and the terminal is
expected to be operational in the third quarter of next fiscal
• So overall, also, if you look at our market share, it’s grown on a nine-month compared to nine-month basis.
NCI were at about 16%. And I think we used to be at 12% about a year, year-and-half ago.
