Makarand Pradhan, Promoter and Managing Director of Total Transport Systems, said the company had begun FY27 with healthy business momentum and disciplined execution.

The company plans to focus on strengthening its service capabilities, increasing the use of technology, improving productivity and maintaining profitable growth. It also expects its asset-light model and international network to support its participation in the sector's longer-term growth.
