Question 1:

Question 3:
"January has been pretty soft. How do you see breakeven timelines, given current market sluggishness?"

Question 4:
"If Express revenue grows by Rs. 30"“40 crores, what margin improvement can be expected?"
Answer:
Current contribution margin is 26"“27%. A Rs. 30"“40 crore revenue increase could add Rs. 10"“11 crore in margin. Line-haul utilization (75%) and facility optimization may contribute another Rs. 2"“3 crore. Volume-driven operating leverage remains critical for breakeven.
Question 5:
"How will Express achieve Rs. 450 crore revenue targets amid market challenges?"
