Allcargo Terminals shares opened at ₹25.49 against their previous close of ₹24.26 and surged as much as 7.1% to an intraday high of ₹25.99 following the release of strong monthly business updates. The positive market reaction comes after the company reported a 6% year-on-year surge in total volumes to 65,600 TEUs in August 2026, according to a regulatory filing dated September 22. The company's total volumes, including CFS (Container Freight Station) and IDC (Inland Container Depot), also showed a 5% month-on-month increase compared with July 2026, demonstrating consistent operational momentum.
Allcargo Terminals reported mixed financial results for Q1 FY27, with consolidated profit after tax falling 30.08% year-on-year to ₹6.37 crore compared with ₹9.11 crore in the same period last year. However, the company recorded a 14.5% YoY increase in income from operations to ₹214.41 crore during the quarter, up from ₹187.25 crore in Q1 FY26. At an operational level, EBITDA advanced 37.2% YoY to ₹47 crore in the June quarter, compared with ₹35 crore in the year-ago period. The company's volumes witnessed a healthy 7% YoY growth for the reporting quarter, with Managing Director Suresh Kumar R attributing this growth to continued focus on yield management and operational efficiency across CFS and ICD operations.
Allcargo Global Limited's cargo volumes fell in August as the logistics company continued to cut loss-making shipping routes, a move it said has helped improve yields. According to reports from CNBC TV18, the company handled 711,000 cubic metres of less-than-container-load (LCL) cargo in August, down 7% from a year earlier and 2% from July. The decline in LCL volumes reflects the company's ongoing rationalisation of loss-making trade lanes, with Allcargo describing the reduction in volumes as a deliberate trade-off that has resulted in better yields. The company's full-container-load (FCL) volumes stood at 51,023 TEUs in August, down 5% from a year earlier but up 4% from July.
LCL volumes fell year-on-year across all major regions, as reported by CNBC TV18. Compared with July, volumes declined in Europe, North Asia and the Indian Subcontinent, while remaining flat in North America, the Middle East and Latin America. The company's full-container-load (FCL) volumes stood at 51,023 TEUs in August, down 5% from a year earlier but up 4% from July. The year-on-year decline in FCL volumes was partly due to the crisis in the Middle East, with declines recorded in the Middle East, North America and the Indian Subcontinent, while North Asia and Latin America recorded growth.
Allcargo Terminals' capacity expansion plan remains firmly on track, with the Farukhnagar PFT-ICD project continuing on course, while other capacity expansion initiatives are progressing well in line with its three-year growth plan. As India's EXIM trade continues to gather pace, the company remains committed to strengthening its infrastructure and enhancing customer confidence in the country's evolving logistics ecosystem. The company has a total market capitalisation of ₹613.77 crore as of September 22, 2026, according to data on the NSE.
