Blue Dart Express Q3FY26 profit after tax declines 11% to ₹70 cr

Blue Dart Q3 profit slips 11% to ₹70 crore despite nearly 7% rise in revenue, supported by stable domestic demand and SME shipments

Blue Dart Express on Friday said its profit after tax declined 11.39 per cent year-on-year to ₹70 crore in the quarter ending December 2025.

The company logged a profit after tax of ₹79 crore in the year-ago quarter.

Revenue in the quarter under review, however, rose 6.9 per cent to ₹1,616 crore from ₹1,512 crore recorded in the third quarter of the 2024-25 financial year, Blue Dart Express said.

Performance during the quarter was supported by stable domestic demand and disciplined cost management, it said.

"Our Q3 performance reflects resilient domestic demand, with meaningful contributions from tier 2 and tier 3 markets and steady SME shipment activity, supported by strong execution discipline across the network," said Balfour Manuel, Managing Director, Blue Dart Express Ltd.

 

As the company moves into 2026, the outlook for the logistics sector remains positive, aided by supply-chain formalisation, sustained consumption momentum, and sector-wide infrastructure development, he said.
