Where to get earnings call transcripts in India in 2026
Quick Answer: Listed Indian companies must publish earnings call transcripts on their own website within five working days of the call, and file them with the exchanges at the same time. NSE and BSE carry them under corporate announcements. They are free, and the rule sits in SEBI's listing regulations.
An earnings call transcript is a regulated disclosure in India, not a courtesy. The same rule that makes a company file its results also makes it publish what management said about them, on a fixed clock.
That clock is short, and it runs from the end of the call rather than from the results date. Knowing where the file lands and when it is due turns a transcript hunt into a two-minute job.
Where can you get earnings call transcripts in India?
Three places carry the same document, and all three are free: the company's own website, the NSE filing and the BSE filing. Under regulation 46(2) of SEBI's listing regulations, last amended 14 July 2026, transcripts go on the website within five working days and reach the exchanges simultaneously with that submission.
Exchange copies are usually fastest to search. Both exchanges index filings by company and by date, while a company's own copy is easier to browse, because investor-relations pages group a whole quarter's documents together in one place.
Market-data platforms reprint the same filings. Multibagg's Concall Monitor collects earnings calls across covered companies, and the underlying document remains the exchange filing in every case.
Where are earnings call transcripts filed in India in 2026?
They go to every recognised stock exchange where the company is listed, simultaneously with publication on the company website, under regulation 46(2)(oa)(iii). The wider clause sets a separate deadline for each artefact a call produces, and the presentation sits under a different clause again.
Post-earnings call disclosure deadlines (SEBI LODR regulation 46(2), as amended 14 July 2026)
| Artefact | Deadline | Clause | Minimum time on the website |
|---|---|---|---|
| Presentation | Prior to the beginning of the call | 46(2)(o)(ii) | Not specified in the clause |
| Audio recording | Before the next trading day, or within 24 hours of the call ending, whichever is earlier | 46(2)(oa)(i) | 2 years |
| Video recording, if any | Within 48 hours of the call ending | 46(2)(oa)(ii) | 2 years |
| Transcript | Within five working days of the call ending, filed with the exchanges at the same time | 46(2)(oa)(iii) | 5 years |
Deadlines as substituted with effect from 13 December 2024 and current in the text last amended 14 July 2026.
The clocks are separate, and they run at different speeds. Audio can be up within a day and video a day behind that, while the written transcript is still being prepared, which is why a company's page sometimes shows a recording with no text beside it.
How do you find a concall transcript on NSE and BSE?
Both exchanges file it as a corporate announcement, not under results, so search announcements rather than the financial-results section. On NSE, the corporate filings announcements page filters by company and date range; on BSE, the corporate announcements page does the same.
Filter by subject where the exchange offers it. Announcements are categorised, and a transcript is usually tagged under investor presentations or analyst calls rather than under financial results.
Date filtering is the practical trick. Because the transcript is due within five working days of the call, a window running from the call date to a week later almost always contains it, as our note on Symbiotec Pharmalab's Q1 FY27 earnings call shows.
Where on a company's website are transcripts kept?
Regulation 46 requires a separate section on the website, and transcripts must stay there for a minimum of five years. In practice they sit under a heading such as investor relations, financial information or quarterly updates, usually grouped by financial year and quarter.
Five-year retention is what makes a company site useful for history. An exchange search works well for a recent quarter; several years of calls in one place is normally a company-site job.
After five years the company's own preservation policy under regulation 9 takes over, so an older transcript may move or disappear. Our note on Horizon Industrial Parks' Q1 FY27 call covers one such filing.
Are earnings call transcripts free in India?
Yes, on all three official routes. Regulation 46(2) requires publication on the company's website and simultaneous filing with the exchanges, and neither exchange charges to view a filing, so there is no paywall on the primary document.
What can cost money is convenience built on top: search across companies, summaries, extracted figures, alerts, or a structured archive. The underlying transcript stays free at source.
Paying changes nothing about the document itself. Where a platform's text and the exchange filing differ, the filing is the record, and that holds however much the platform charged for its version.
How soon after the call is a transcript published?
Within five working days of the call concluding, under regulation 46(2)(oa)(iii). Working days, not calendar days, so a call held before a long weekend can legitimately produce a transcript more than a week later on the calendar.
The results filing runs on its own, earlier clock. Regulation 33(3)(a) gives a company 45 days from the end of a quarter to file quarterly and year-to-date standalone results, other than for the last quarter, and the call usually follows the results.
So the normal sequence is results first, call next, audio within 24 hours, any video within 48, transcript within five working days. Multibagg's earnings tracker collects quarterly results and earnings trends by financial year, as our note on Apex Frozen Foods' Q1 FY27 numbers illustrates.
What does a transcript contain that a results filing does not?
Management's explanation and the analyst questions, neither of which appears in the results filing. Regulation 33 governs the numbers and regulation 46(2) governs the call, and they are separate obligations with separate deadlines of 45 days and five working days.
A results filing reports what happened. The call is where management says why, what it expects next, and where it declines to answer, and the question-and-answer half is unscripted in a way prepared remarks are not.
So the two are read together. The filing fixes the quarter's figures; the transcript carries the reasoning offered for them, and only the transcript records what was asked and left unanswered.
Read the call beside the numbers
Transcripts answer what management said. Results filings answer what the company reported, and reading the two together is the point, given that both are free at source within 45 days and five working days respectively.
