Insights

SemiCab India's fleet expansion to 590 trucks could quadruple revenue to $23M, indicating promising growth in India's logistics market.

SemiCab India's strategic fleet expansion represents a significant scaling milestone in the competitive Indian logistics market. The company has increased its active fleet to 140 trucks with contractual rights to add an additional 450 vehicles, positioning them to potentially quadruple revenue from $4.6M to $23M annually. What's particularly noteworthy is the timing of this expansion, which aligns with SemiCab's transition from pilot programs to full commercial contracts with multinational FMCG shippers.

The economics here are compelling. At $40,000 annual revenue per truck, SemiCab's model leverages asset-light network expansion through freight service agreements rather than capital-intensive fleet ownership. This approach optimizes capital efficiency while creating flexibility to scale with demand. The additional 1,000 trucks in the pipeline for H2 2025 indicates strong customer demand and suggests the initial expansion is performing well.

The India logistics market presents unique challenges including fragmentation, infrastructure limitations, and complex distribution networks. SemiCab's cloud-based Collaborative Transportation Platform addresses these issues by optimizing capacity utilization across multiple carriers. This network effect becomes more valuable as the fleet expands, potentially creating a competitive moat if executed properly. The focus on FMCG customers is strategic, as these clients typically have consistent, predictable shipping needs that can provide baseline utilization while the network scales.

SemiCab India Adds Additional Truck Capacity with Expansion to Generate Up to $23 Million in Annual Revenue

Fort Lauderdale, FL, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Algorhythm Holdings, Inc. (“Algorhythm”) (NASDAQ: RIME) – an AI technology and consumer electronics holding company, today provided an operational update for its SemiCab AI logistics and distribution business (“SemiCab”).

SMCB Solutions Private Limited (“SemiCab India”), Algorhythm’s subsidiary that operates SemiCab’s cloud-based Collaborative Transportation Platform in the Indian market, entered into a series of freight services agreements with several full truckload (FTL) carriers during Q1 2025. These transactions expanded SemiCab India’s active fleet to over 140 trucks, with rights to expand its fleet by an additional 450 trucks through current contracts. An additional 1,000 trucks are in the pipeline from contractual relationships with new FTL carriers that are expected to close during the second half of 2025 as demand continues to rise.

This expansion is aimed at securing reliable truck access to meet growing demand from fast-moving consumer packaged goods (FMCG) customers. The dedicated fleet is expected to significantly enhance the Company’s ability to service future volume from its large, scaling contracts with multinational shippers across India.

“We’re seeing meaningful traction in India as pilot customers transition to full-scale commercial contracts,” said Ajesh Kapoor, CEO of SemiCab. “Expanding the active fleet to 140 trucks with immediate access to an additional 450 trucks provides SemiCab India with the ability to quadruple its annualized revenue run rate from approximately $4.6 million to over $23 million in the second half of 2025, as demand dictates. This capacity boost is expected to drive accelerated sales growth, enhance the benefits that can be achieved by carriers through the use of our network, and provide greater efficiency on key transport lanes.”

Each long-haul FTL truck in India generates approximately $40,000 in annual freight revenue. With the current supplier contracts, SemiCab India currently has the capacity to expand its fleet to 590 trucks, representing up to $23 million in annual freight services on an as-needed basis. The Company plans to develop its growing pipeline of pending contracts with new FTL carriers to grow its fleet to over 1,000 vehicles by the end of 2025 to keep pace with demand.
