By AI, Created 3:10 PM UTC, May 20, 2026, /AGP/ – Algorhythm Holdings said its SemiCab India unit won a third expansion of its managed freight services deal with Procter & Gamble India, lifting annual contract value 32% to $4.2 million. The deal also increases lane volume by more than 50%, underscoring growing use of SemiCab’s AI freight orchestration platform across India.

Why it matters: - The expanded Procter & Gamble India contract gives Algorhythm a larger recurring revenue base in its logistics business. - The deal also signals stronger adoption of SemiCab’s AI-powered freight platform in one of the company’s key markets. - Higher lane volume can translate into more network optimization, fewer empty miles and better freight utilization.

What happened: - Algorhythm Holdings said its subsidiary, SMCB Solutions Private Ltd., also known as SemiCab India, received an expansion of its managed freight services agreement with Procter & Gamble India. - The expansion raised the total annual contract value by 32% to $4.2 million. - The announcement came on May 20, 2026. - This is the third contract expansion P&G India has awarded to SemiCab India. - Lane volume under the agreement will increase from 42 to 65 lanes. - The lanes cover major manufacturing and distribution corridors across India.

The details: - SemiCab India’s freight platform is designed to reduce empty miles, improve service reliability and provide real-time transportation insights. - The platform complements existing transportation management systems and uses AI and machine learning to predict, plan and optimize freight flows. - Algorhythm said the platform helps shippers lower costs and carriers improve utilization without changing their existing workflows. - SemiCab’s broader platform is cloud-based and built to orchestrate collaboration across manufacturers, retailers, distributors and carriers. - The company says the system can predict and optimize millions of loads and hundreds of thousands of trucks. - Algorhythm also said the platform uses API-based load tendering and integrations with TMS and ELD partners.

Between the lines: - The repeat expansion suggests P&G India is deepening its reliance on SemiCab’s freight orchestration tools. - The deal gives Algorhythm another reference customer as it tries to expand SemiCab Apex SaaS into the U.S. and Europe. - Management framed reduced empty miles as a way to lower emissions while improving supply-chain resilience and margins. - That positioning ties the logistics product to both cost savings and sustainability, which can matter to large enterprise shippers.

What’s next: - Algorhythm said it plans to use its India results to push SemiCab Apex SaaS into new markets in the U.S. and Europe. - The company will continue targeting large transportation budgets where freight efficiency can produce meaningful savings. - The broader commercial impact will depend on whether SemiCab can keep converting expansions into new enterprise contracts.
