Secures air import contracts from HPCL

The company has informed exchanges that it has secured two major air import contracts valued at approximately Rs 8.8 crore from state-run energy major Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL).

Under the agreement, the company will manage the transportation of nearly 310 metric tonnes (MT) of specialised project cargo to Visakhapatnam. The heavy-lift movement will be executed through three dedicated air charter flights, carrying 80 MT of cargo from France and 210 MT from Saudi Arabia.

“Under the contracts, Tiger Logistics will manage the shipments on an end-to-end ex-works basis, covering the complete logistics chain from origin to destination. The scope includes air freight, customs clearance and local destination, ensuring seamless handling and delivery of the specialised cargo from the origins in both countries to the designated destination in Visakhapatnam, India,” the filing reads.

The company’s net profit fell 53.9 per cent to Rs 216.99 lakh in the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to Rs 470.68 lakh in the same quarter last year.
