Spend up 8.2% as northern route volumes recover.

Malwa Freight tops the on-time table for a third straight week as bid depth returns and cash-discount uptake hits a fresh monthly high of ₹18,400.

Freight spend for Megastar Foods reached ₹1.24 crore through the first sixteen days of July, a rise of 8.2% over June and the strongest reading since February. Recovery on the Ropar–Nashik and Ropar–Delhi corridors accounted for the bulk of the swing, both routes clearing pre-monsoon volumes for the first time this fiscal.

Auction depth is the story beneath the numbers. Forty-seven active bids sit on the board, with twelve set to close before nightfall — the highest daily density since April. Bulk tender MSF-LD-260716-0021, twenty-five trucks Ropar to Ahmedabad, is the day's marquee lot; it closes in twenty-eight minutes.

On the ground, thirty-four trips are in motion. Sharma Transport's PB10AH7788 left Ropar for Delhi at 14:00 IST. Six routes remain flagged as SLA-at-risk, all clustered around the western corridor, and Doaba Logistics — a familiar name in these dispatches — is once again on notice: an auto-suspension flag has been raised as its on-time percentage slipped to 62%.
