Brings scheduled, precision logistics, previously available only to large enterprises, to India’s MSMEs and D2C brands, reducing bulk logistics costs by up to 27%

New Delhi [India], May 21: Shiprocket, India’s leading e-commerce enablement platform, today announced the launch of Appointment-Based Delivery (ABD), a scheduled logistics service that delivers warehouse-level precision to MSMEs and D2C brands. Designed for sellers moving bulk inventory to platforms such as Zepto, Blinkit, Flipkart, Myntra, Swiggy, and Amazon, ABD achieved 98% on-time adherence during its controlled rollout, establishing a new standard for bulk logistics compliance in India.

This service by Shiprocket Cargo aims to replace unpredictable bulk dispatches with fixed delivery windows, giving brands direct control over shipment timelines and warehouse compliance. On average, sellers have reported up to a 27% reduction in logistics costs, primarily due to improved planning that eliminates last-minute carrier changes.

With ABD, high-volume sellers moving inventory to quick-commerce dark stores, marketplace fulfilment centres, and distributor warehouses can now book delivery slots, secure linehaul schedules, and track shipments in real time, all from their existing Shiprocket dashboard.

Commenting on the launch, Gautam Kapoor, COO, Shiprocket, said, “For a long time, precision logistics was a privilege reserved for enterprises with large supply chain teams and strong carrier relationships. MSMEs relied on reactive, manual systems. With Appointment-Based Delivery, we offer the same infrastructure that supports the largest FMCG companies and marketplaces in India, now accessible to every seller on our platform. Enabling small brands to achieve up to a 98% delivery adherence rate is a significant advancement. The quick commerce era is not a threat to small brands. With the right solution, it is theirs to own.”

ABD Pilot Results at a Glance

• 98% on-time appointment adherence across trial shipments/sellers

• 27%     reduction in per-shipment logistics cost through optimised multi-carrier allocation
• 7%    incremental improvement in delivery compliance via the dedicated Green Channel
• 60%     of active high-volume Shiprocket Cargo sellers are already using the service
• Up to 10% reduction in warehouse rejection rate for participating sellers
• 24-48 hours saved in transit time to key destination hubs, on average

Salient Features of ABD:

• Confirmed slot booking aligned to destination warehouse appointments, no more coordinating via calls or email
• Locked linehaul schedules from origin to destination, removing mid-transit uncertainty.
• Automated rescheduling is triggered proactively, before any delay occurs
• Real-time tracking against scheduled delivery times, with hub-level visibility
• Digital proof of delivery (stamp, signature, gate entry, or GRN) to ensure compliance
• Dedicated Green Channel for expedited slot booking on Zepto, Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, and other quick commerce platforms

How the ABD as a Service Works

1. Seller creates a bulk shipment on the Shiprocket Cargo panel and selects Appointment-Based Delivery
2. Seller secures an appointment slot with the destination warehouse (Amazon FC, Blinkit hub, etc.)
3. Confirmed slot is booked on the Shiprocket panel, locking pickup and linehaul schedules
4. Shipment moves through origin hub, dedicated cargo linehaul, and destination processing, all aligned to the appointment window
5. Real-time tracking shows progress against the scheduled delivery time
6. Digital proof of delivery (stamp, signature, gate entry, or GRN) closes the cycle
7. Dedicated Green Channel expedites slot booking for quick commerce platforms

Appointment-Based Delivery is available exclusively to high-volume shippers in FMCG, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, apparel, and beauty. The service is live on the Shiprocket Cargo network, with priority onboarding for sellers managing consistent multi-hub dispatches. Brands can access scheduling, tracking, and exception management through the existing Shiprocket dashboard.

Among the celebrated titles being showcased in multiple languages are films such as Sholay, Pink, Lootera, Bandit Queen, Omkara, Ek Villain, Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, The Dirty Picture, Mangal Pandey: The Rising, Partner, Bhoothnath, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, Shootout At Lokhandwala, Baghban, Gol Maal, Shaan, Khubsoorat and Guddi, among several others. The catalogue spans timeless classics, critically acclaimed cinema and mainstream Bollywood entertainers, reflecting the scale and diversity of the NH Studioz film library.

“At a time when global audiences are increasingly consuming stories irrespective of language, Indian cinema is entering a phase of unprecedented international opportunity,” said Mr. Narendra Hirawat, Chairman, NH Studioz. “For us, Cannes is not merely a marketplace anymore — it is an annual global sprint where we continuously study audience evolution, technology shifts, platform behaviour and emerging monetisation ecosystems to ensure Indian films remain globally competitive and culturally relevant.”

“As a company, we are constantly evolving our international strategy through localisation, AI-enabled accessibility solutions, smarter discovery systems and territory-specific content positioning so that Indian stories can travel further than ever before,” he added.

NH Studioz is also actively exploring next-generation opportunities across AI-assisted localisation, metadata intelligence, digital packaging and multilingual discovery frameworks aimed at making Indian films more scalable and accessible for worldwide audiences while preserving their emotional authenticity and storytelling essence.

With one of India’s most commercially valuable film libraries, the company is witnessing increasing international interest not only in distribution rights but also in remake adaptations of Indian stories, particularly across the thriller, drama, action and comedy genres. The company is additionally evaluating restoration and preservation initiatives for select classics in order to introduce iconic Indian cinema to newer global audiences in enhanced formats.

Over the years, NH Studioz has steadily expanded its international presence by building long-term relationships across global distribution and content ecosystems, while continuously adapting itself to shifts in consumer behaviour, platform economics and cross-border entertainment consumption.

As audiences across the world continue embracing subtitled and dubbed storytelling from multiple cultures, NH Studioz aims to further position Indian cinema as a mainstream global entertainment category capable of transcending language and geography through universally relatable emotion-driven narratives.

New Delhi [India], May 22: Leading brokerage houses including ICICI Securities, HDFC Securities and JM Financial Institution remain positive on PNC Infratech following its Q4FY26 earnings. Analysts expect a gradual recovery in revenues over FY27 and FY28, supported by a healthy executable order book, improving order inflows, and ramp-up in execution across key projects. Analysts believe the company is well positioned for a recovery cycle as execution intensity improves and newer business verticals scale up.

• Leading brokerages remain constructive on PNC Infratech, citing recovery in execution, strong order book visibility and improving order inflows as key medium-term growth drivers.

• Analysts highlighted the company’s diversification into renewables, mining and water infrastructure as a key positive that could support future revenue growth.
• Brokerage target prices imply up to ~48% upside from current market levels, with confidence in PNC’s balance sheet strength and margin stability.

Potential upside calculated based on PNC Infratech’s closing market price of ₹213.15 as of 21^st May. Note: Above list of analyst recommendations is not exhaustive.

Brokerage house HDFC Securities maintained its ‘Buy’ rating with a target price of ₹304, highlighting expectations of a recovery in execution and order inflows during FY27. The brokerage noted that PNC’s order book stood at around ₹180 billion as of March 2026, providing strong revenue visibility. HDFC Securities also pointed to new business segments such as renewables and mining to aid order inflows, while the cash inflows from asset monetization to Vertis contributed to the healthy cash buffer of PNC.

Broking firm ICICI Securities upgraded the stock to ‘Buy’ with a target price of ₹290, citing improving execution visibility and a strong executable order book. The brokerage expects revenue and earnings recovery over FY26-28E aided by pick-up in project execution, commencement of recently secured projects.

Ambit Capital retained its ‘Buy’ rating with a target price of ₹276 and noted that the company has been able to maintain EBITDA margins despite weak execution trends over the last few quarters. The brokerage highlighted that diversification beyond roads, particularly in water infrastructure and other emerging segments, has helped PNC gradually rebuild its executable order book.

Meanwhile, Nuvama Institutional Equities maintained a ‘Hold’ rating with a target price of ₹235, while acknowledging improving segmental diversification in the company’s order book growth. The brokerage noted that management is targeting a higher share of non-road projects in future order inflows with 30–35% of future order inflows coming from segments like solar, battery energy storage systems and urban development projects.

Brokerages broadly expect order inflow momentum and execution recovery to remain the key monitorable for the company over the next few quarters.
