For FY24, total income was 9,254.83 crores compared to 10,070.01 crores in FY23. During the year, the business saw substantial growth in revenues from ISCS segment. But this was offset by decline in freight rates and geo-political tensions that impacted the NS segment thus, resulting in a decline in consolidated revenue. Your Company's focus on business development continues to deliver strong results. Your Company added 880 crores additional revenue from the business development in FY24. The number of Fortune 500 customers serviced by your Company has grown to 78 as at FY24 compared to 72 in FY23, reflecting the steady growth of marquee customers of the Company.

Adjusted EBITDA grew to 710.14 crores, marking a YoY growth of 25.02 crores despite the decline in revenue.
