Company’s performance

Efficient Logistics has been at the heart of India’s retail internet growth. Logistics decisions influence the e-tailer’s businesses in aspects ranging from standardized customer experience to unit delivery economics. The online retail market in India in 2017 was estimated at US$17.8 billion in terms of gross merchandise value (GMV) and grew from US$ I4.5 billion in 20I6 at the rate of 23% (Source: KPMG), signalling a rather moderate year for e-Commerce.

Consequently, with emphasis on sustaining the profitability during this period your company’s e-commerce segment saw the docket volumes drop close to 40% between FY 201 6-17 and FY 2017-I8. However the overall weight fell less than I0% during the same period as your company steered to increase the share of higher-weight shipments. During the year under review, the e-Commerce division of your company has recorded revenue of RS. 1,597 mn as against RS. 2,170 mn in the previous period.

While the domestic e-Commerce market growth has been moderate in 20I7, the expected growth rate in 20I8 is at 60 per cent. The impending consolidation within the e-commerce market, specially the entry of newer participants with long-term vision to become the “everything store” is expected to shape the future of domestic retail. Additionally, from your company’s perspective, the entry of Supply Chain focussed enterprises is anticipated to bring about reinvention of logistics management practices in the industry The e-commerce ecosystem is expected to progress towards collaborative logistics, and your company with its wide-ranging portfolio of services will be a formidable player in this arena.

Your company’s freight forwarding division, which deals in Air/Ocean freight services coupled with Customs House agency services, saw a drop in revenues from RS. 66I mn in FY 20I6-I7 to RS. 465 mn in FY 20I7-I8. The scaling down of business was a deliberate move to restrict the business to direct customer business only and prevent agency-related business.

Your Company operates in petrol and diesel retail segment along with other motor parts and lubricants through its fuel stations division under the Standalone business. Presently, it runs five fuel stations mostly in South and Central India. The fuel station business grew from RS. 2,I50 mn in FY 20I6-I7 to RS. 2,399 mn in FY 20I7-I8. Your company anticipates the increase in dealer margin to benefit the profitability of the division going forward.

Additionally the high-yield retail portfolio contribution crossed 25% for the first time in almost eight quarters. These were positive indicators that our business had stabilized following the implementation of the ambitious Shop-Floor automation in FY20I7.

Business Development focus on Key Enterprise Accounts (KEA), Customer Service focus on organic growth, and operations focus on de-growing and lost customers helped deliver double-digit growth across customer segment. Air volumes also showed double-digit growth in fourth quarter.

Going forward, your company is encouraged by a number of factors that will contribute to the long-term growth of the GKEPL portfolio. Adapting to the changing logistics structure in the post-GST environment, your company has taken a series of major network improvisations and combined it with an enhanced product portfolio to cater to the evolving needs of its customers across industry verticals. Your company is undertaking significant expansions across eight critical logistics nodes adding up to 8 lakh square feet. This will result in the two-fold plus increase in the distribution and warehousing capacities at these vital supply chain demand points.
