The company's performance comes against an inflationary cost backdrop, with rising fuel prices, labour availability challenges and multiple statutory changes weighing on the operating environment.
Despite these pressures, Delhivery said its network service levels ahead of the festive season were the best it had recorded, while profitability also improved.
Alongside business expansion, Delhivery is stepping up investments in technology and automation to improve operational efficiency and customer experience.
The company said its early investments in artificial intelligence are beginning to deliver results, particularly in sales productivity, customer onboarding, claims resolution and fraud detection.
Its in-house automation facility, Delhivery Robotics, has also started producing customised autonomous vehicles for movement within facilities. The company is testing additional robotics systems across its warehouse operations in partnership with global players in physical AI.
Delhivery ended the September quarter with a cash balance of Rs 4,676 crore, providing financial flexibility for its expansion and technology investments.
The company said improving profitability and strong network performance have given it momentum heading into the second half of FY27.
