The company highlighted efforts to attract more traffic through services like cabotage from JNPT and reduced rates on EXIM traffic from Dadri to JNPT. The DFC opening is expected to further strengthen traffic streams.
CONCOR is actively engaging with fertilizer manufacturers to promote containerized transport and is seeing improvements in segments like tile traffic and gunny bales. The company anticipates strong recovery and growth in the coming quarters, contingent on the stabilization of geopolitical situations and trade routes.
Capital Expenditure and Future Plans
The company is on track for its capital expenditure, with a target of over INR900 crore for the year. Significant investments are planned for developing new terminals, including locations at Salawas (Jodhpur) and Pathri Haridwar, along with expansion at Amritsar and Ahmedabad for double stacking on the DFC.
EBITDA and Margins
CONCOR maintained a handsome EBITDA of 25.79% despite trade turbulence. While domestic EBIT margins saw a slight decrease due to increased expenses like fuel prices and staff costs, the company expects margins to improve with rising volumes, as many expenses are fixed.
Market Share and Initiatives
CONCOR is focused on maintaining and increasing its market share in key ports like JNPT, Mundra, and Pipavav. The company is also exploring new initiatives, including strengthening its shipping activities and potentially restarting coastal services once market conditions stabilize. The introduction of double-stacked trains and enhanced port yard efficiency are key drivers for attracting road traffic to rail.
