The call

Gati no longer exists as a standalone company; its express delivery operations now run inside Allcargo Logistics, competing in a market Delhivery is actively consolidating.

Gati Ltd was an Indian package delivery company that merged into Allcargo Logistics in November 2025 and is no longer publicly traded. The delivery business it ran is now just one part of Allcargo, competing against bigger rivals like Delhivery and Blue Dart that have more trucks, money, and customers. The company raised prices for the first time in six years but still lost 11 percent of its revenue, which suggests customers are leaving anyway because competitors offer the same service or better, and the whole market is getting too crowded. Watch Allcargo's financial reports to see if this delivery business keeps shrinking, and watch whether Delhivery or Blue Dart buy or crush Allcargo's delivery operations into irrelevance.

Why
01
AI pressure: None apparent. No AI product targets this business directly; AI in logistics mostly optimizes routing and warehousing costs, not customer-facing delivery choice. Could AI do the core job? Only partly.
02
Bigger players: Delhivery. Delhivery, now larger after buying Ecom Express in July 2025, calls the express market saturated and is actively consolidating smaller players. Could a giant copy it? Yes, easily.
03
What protects it. Allcargo's balance sheet and combined logistics network now back the express business, giving it more cash and scale than Gati had alone.
What would change this call
Allcargo Logistics reports its Express segment's Q1-Q2 FY26 revenue trend versus FY25. Shows whether the amalgamated express business stabilizes or keeps losing ground to rivals.
Delhivery or Blue Dart Express announce expansion into Allcargo Gati's core regions or verticals. Would confirm larger rivals are actively taking territory, not just growing elsewhere.
Xpressbees, Shadowfax, or another mid-tier courier is acquired or exits the market. Would show sector consolidation is squeezing smaller players like Allcargo's express unit too.

Questions people ask
Is Gati Ltd still a publicly traded company in 2026?
No. Gati Ltd, later Allcargo Gati Limited, was legally amalgamated into parent Allcargo Logistics Limited on November 1, 2025 under an NCLT-approved scheme, and its shares are being delisted from BSE (532345) and NSE (ACLGATI).
Is Gati profitable?
It posted small quarterly profits before merger: net profit of ₹9.61 crore in the quarter ended June 30, 2025, but full-year revenue declined 11.07% year-over-year as of September 15, 2025, showing thin, uneven profitability.
Could AI replace Gati's logistics business?
No. AI handles route optimization, predictive planning and analytics via an internally built Oracle Cloud/Fusion ERP data lake completed March 24, 2025, per the company's own statement, but physical delivery still needs its roughly 5,000 trucks and 65 warehouses.
Who is Gati's biggest competitor?
Delhivery is the dominant rival, having acquired Ecom Express for approximately ₹1,369-1,407 crore in July 2025; Blue Dart, with its own Boeing air-cargo fleet, opened a 550,000-shipments-per-day hub in Delhi in January 2025.
Who owns Gati now?
Allcargo Logistics Limited, chaired by founder Shashi Kiran Shetty, owns and has fully absorbed the former Gati Ltd since the November 1, 2025 amalgamation that dissolved Allcargo Gati Limited as an independent legal entity.
Did Gati raise its prices in 2025?
Yes, the company implemented a 10.2% general price increase on express services effective January 1, 2025, its first price hike since Allcargo's 2019 acquisition, per its own announcement dated September 25, 2024.
