Shadowfax Technologies Limited, a prominent player in India's technology-led third-party logistics (3PL) sector, has reported a robust performance for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 (Q3 FY26). The company, which recently completed its INR 1,000 crore primary capital raise and listed publicly, demonstrated significant growth across its key operational and financial metrics. For Q3 FY26, Shadowfax achieved a remarkable 65.5% year-on-year (YoY) revenue growth from operations, reaching INR 1,160 crore.

The company also reported a Net Profit of INR 35 crore, marking a substantial 440.6% YoY growth, underscoring its accelerating bottom-line performance.

The quarter's success was largely driven by strong volume momentum, with total orders growing by 61.0% YoY to 20.6 crore. The express parcel segment, a cornerstone of Shadowfax's business, was the primary growth engine, contributing approximately 75.7% of the total revenue and expanding by 71.9% YoY to INR 878 crore.
