VRL Logistics is venturing into hinterland areas to find potential drivers in response to the acute shortage of skilled drivers in the surface transport industry.
The company employs over 22,000 individuals, including drivers and mechanics, and provides full-time employment with benefits and training programs.
Chairman Vijay Sankeshwar highlighted challenges faced by the company, such as driver shortages, unhealthy competition, and external disruptions, and emphasized cautious fleet expansion.
In FY25, VRL Logistics revised pricing policies, rationalized freight rates, added new vehicles, and reported a 10% increase in revenue along with a significant jump in net profit.
