The full read
Om Freight Forwarders ended FY26 with a 29% decline in standalone profit, reporting ₹15.38 crore compared to ₹21.65 crore in the prior year. Revenue stayed flat at ₹476.92 crore.
Margins are under siege.
A ₹3.63 crore loss from the divestment of a Norway-based entity contributed to the earnings shortfall, while the weakness intensified in the final quarter as profit slipped to ₹4.05 crore from ₹7.10 crore in the year-ago period. For a nano-cap logistics firm, the combination of margin pressure and one-time investment losses creates a difficult earnings trajectory that leaves little room for error in the coming fiscal year.
