Commenting on the results, Mr. Chander Agarwal, Managing Director, TCIEXPRESS said, “We attribute this third quarter’s performance to our conscious effort post the demerger of the company which led us to grow exponentially in Q3. With ‘remonetisation’, we expect to grow 15% -18% in last quarter of current fiscal. The rise in demand for our express services in consumer electronics, retail, apparel and lifestyle, automobile, pharmaceuticals, engineering, e-commerce, energy/power and telecommunication sectors respectively have attributed to this growth.”

Earlier this year, TCIEXPRESS de-merged from its parent company TCI, to form a separate business entity focusing on express delivery services. The company subsequently listed on the bourses, effective from 16th December 2016.
