Financial Performance (Q1 FY26) The company reported a substantial increase in its standalone net profit for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2026, which surged by over 272% year-on-year to ₹50.04 crore. Revenue from operations saw a modest rise of approximately 2.35% year-on-year, reaching ₹744.33 crore in Q1 FY26.

Corporate Action - Bonus Issue VRL Logistics announced and approved its first-ever bonus issue of equity shares in a 1:1 ratio.
