GURUGRAM, India, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TCI Express Ltd. ("TCI EXPRESS", NSE: TCIEXP; BSE: 540212), India's leading express distribution company, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

During Q1 FY27, TCI EXPRESS extended its multimodal reach across Surface, Rail, Domestic Air, International Air, C2C and E-Commerce, crossing 1,000 branches nationwide through continued network expansion and technology integration. The quarter's standout performer was E-Commerce Express, which surged 63.0% YoY to become the Company's fastest-growing segment.

Growth was underpinned by customer additions, deeper traction across key verticals, automation-led process enhancements, as well as continued investment in network optimisation and technology-enabled logistics solutions.

Commenting on the performance, Mr. Chander Agarwal, Managing Director of TCI EXPRESS, said:

"The first quarter of FY2027 marked a positive start to the year for TCI EXPRESS, with the Company reporting Total Income of Rs. 315.3 crore, reflecting YoY growth of 8.7%. Performance was supported by customer additions, network expansion and strong demand across e-commerce, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, automotive and SME led shipments. Despite elevated operating costs and competitive pricing across certain segments, the Company remained focused on service quality, technology adoption and network efficiency to drive business growth.

Surface Express continued to be the largest contributor to the Company's operations, recording 8.7% YoY growth, supported by higher volumes from existing customers, new account additions and steady demand across key industrial sectors. During the quarter, the Company strengthened its operating footprint through branch expansion and the opening of new facilities at strategic industrial locations, enhancing service reach across key commercial corridors.

Domestic Air Express benefited from customer additions, expansion of enterprise accounts, expanded direct airport delivery coverage and automation of key operational processes. International Air Express recorded 27.3% YoY growth, supported by new customer additions, customer win-backs and expanded partnerships with global carriers.

E-Commerce Express emerged as the fastest growing business this quarter, up 63.0% YoY, while C2C Express and Rail Express continued to strengthen their network presence and operational capabilities through branch expansion and technology integration.

The Company maintained a debt-free balance sheet while investing in technology-led initiatives, automation and network expansion to strengthen its multimodal logistics capabilities. Going forward, TCI EXPRESS plans to expand its dedicated Air Express network, establish standalone air cargo hubs and introduce differentiated service offerings to further strengthen its position in the time-sensitive logistics segment.

Alongside its business initiatives, the Company continued its commitment towards community development through the TCI Express Foundation. During the quarter, the Artificial Limb Centre in Lucknow supported 217 beneficiaries, while the Archery Academy in Khunti, Jharkhand, provided structured coaching and training to 50 beneficiaries. Backed by a strong balance sheet, an expanding network and continued investments in technology and infrastructure, TCI EXPRESS remains focused on creating long-term value for its customers and stakeholders."
