Motilal Oswal Maintains Buy Rating, Targets Delhivery at Rs 570

Delhivery's Strong Express Segment Growth Continues in 3QFY26

Motilal Oswal's latest research report highlights the continued growth of Delhivery's express segment in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 (3QFY26). The segment recorded a strong 43% year-over-year (YoY) volume growth, driven by festive demand and GST-led consumption. Notably, the average shipment weight declined by approximately 26% YoY, indicating a sharp surge in small parcels.

This growth was also propelled by increased outsourcing from e-commerce majors. The report suggests that the company expects industry consolidation to continue in the express logistics segment. As a result, cash-burning players are likely to exit or rationalize their operations, leading to volume redistribution towards stronger, well-capitalized operators.
