Efficient Deliveries: Ekart’s Path to Profitability
Ekart Logistics, the supply chain arm of the Flipkart Group, is showing signs of fiscal discipline. According to the latest reports, the company successfully reduced its losses by 12% in FY25, even as it scaled its operations to handle a massive 1.8 billion shipments globally. Operating revenue for the year surged by 25% to ₹9,541 crore.
The reduction in losses is being attributed to massive investments in automation and the integration of specialized electric vehicle fleets for “middle-mile” logistics. By optimizing routes through AI, Ekart has managed to drive down the cost-per-shipment, a critical metric as it prepares to support Flipkart’s rumored IPO in 2026.
Third-Party Growth
Beyond serving Flipkart, Ekart has been aggressively expanding its “External Business” — providing logistics services to other D2C brands and e-commerce players. This diversification is seen as the primary driver for its warehousing revenue growth, helping the firm utilize its massive 100+ fulfillment centers more efficiently throughout the year.
