Transport Corporation of India Limited (TCI) has released the transcript of its Analysts/Investors Conference call held on August 3, 2026, concerning the unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026.
The call featured insights from Managing Director Mr. Vineet Agarwal and Group CFO Mr. Ashish Tiwari. They discussed the impact of the West Asia crisis on diesel prices and bunker pricing, challenges with container backlogs at JNPT and Mundra, and slow rail movements. The management noted robust growth in the auto sector and positive traction in the MSME segment.
Key business segments were reviewed: the multimodal segment, supply chain operations, Seaways, and Joint Ventures (JVs). TCI reported its 24th consecutive quarter of growth at 9% on the consolidated top line, with investments of ₹167 crore in Q1 FY27. The company's CARE rating was enhanced to AA+.
For the freight business, a 10-11% top-line growth was reported, with expectations of profitability improvement. The supply chain business saw moderate growth from a higher base, with improved EBITDA margins due to investments. The company anticipates higher teens growth (12-15%) for the supply chain business, driven by new contracts and potential value increases from diesel price hikes.
The Seaways business faced challenges due to fluctuating bunker prices, impacting costs. Despite an increase in rates, margins remained flat due to similar voyage numbers and dry docking of a ship. JV performance included growth in Concor (88%) and Cold Chain (48%).
Looking ahead, TCI is cautiously optimistic, expecting increased sales during the festival season. The company plans a capital expenditure of ₹500-600 crore for FY27, primarily for new ships, warehouses, trucks, and IT services. New ships are expected to be inducted by Q3 FY27.
