About Dhillon Freight Carrier Limited 

Dhillon Freight Carrier Limited offers specialised transportation and logistics solutions focused on Parcel and Less-than-Truckload (LTL) services, designed for businesses shipping smaller consignments. Rather than dedicating an entire truck to a single shipment, DFCL consolidates multiple shipments from different customers in one vehicle, optimizing truck utilisation and supporting cost-efficient, environmentally mindful operations.

The company handles shipments ranging from 1 kg to 7 metric tonnes, serving tier 2 and tier 3 cities through a combination of owned and hired fleets. This service caters primarily to wholesalers and retailers and is provided at predetermined rates. In FY 2023-24, LTL services generated ₹1,341.12 Lakhs, representing 55.84% of total revenue, with Bihar as a key contributor.

Warehousing underpins Dhillon Freight Carrier Limited’s LTL operations, facilitating the storage, organization, and movement of goods. Strategically located facilities in West Bengal, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh support efficient inventory management, optimized storage layouts, and smooth coordination between warehouse and transportation functions.

Contract logistics forms another segment of Dhillon Freight Carrier Limited’s operations, providing end-to-end supply chain management including transportation, warehousing, distribution, inventory control, and order fulfillment. This service, employed mainly by manufacturers with large-volume shipments, accounted for ₹955.75 Lakhs or 39.79% of total revenue in FY 2023-24. Operations span pan-India using both owned and hired fleets.

Dhillon Freight Carrier Limited also offers fleet rental and leasing services, providing access to vehicles for defined periods without ownership obligations. Owned electric vehicles are offered on hire, especially during agricultural peak seasons, generating ₹104.91 Lakhs or 4.37% of total revenue in FY 2023-24.

Through its integrated logistics approach, Dhillon Freight Carrier Limited addresses diverse transportation and supply chain requirements, supporting businesses in optimizing costs and operational efficiency.
