On July 3, the company received the approval from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to incorporate its drone subsidiary called ‘Delhivery Robotics India Private Limited’. The new entity will offer drone as a service (DaaS) for shipment movement and remote sensing.

The company reported a consolidated net loss of INR 69 Cr in the March quarter after being maiden profitable in Q3 of FY24.
