Tata Communications Q1 FY27 results on July 22, 2026

What the company has scheduled

Tata Communications has scheduled a board meeting on July 22, 2026 to consider and approve the unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The company has also set an earnings call for 5:00 PM IST on the same day. The update matters because Tata Communications has been repositioning itself as a “digital fabric” provider, and quarterly results are a key checkpoint on that shift.

The company’s recent commentary has kept investor focus on the sustained growth of its digital services and data segment, which crossed the ₹21,000 crore milestone in the previous fiscal year. Along with the headline numbers, the market typically watches data revenue, margin movement, and any change in capital allocation plans.

FY26 context: revenue growth and margin profile

For FY26, Tata Communications reported gross revenue of ₹24,803 crore, up 7.3% year-on-year. For the same period, the digital portfolio was reported to have grown 16.7% for the full year. The company’s EBITDA margin for FY26 was reported at 19.4%.

The FY26 mix is relevant because management has highlighted the transition toward higher-margin digital services. The company has also said that the digital portfolio accounted for more than 50% of data revenue for the first time, based on the information provided.

Q1 snapshots in the provided data: revenue, profit, and expenses

Multiple quarterly data points are included in the material, including a “Quarter ended Jun 25” table and a separate “Financial Statements for Q1FY26” table. In the “Quarter ended Jun 25” table, total revenue is listed at ₹5,959.85 crore, a 0.51% quarter-on-quarter decline versus ₹6,554.15 crore, and a 6.57% year-on-year rise versus ₹5,592.32 crore.

In that same table, net income is shown at ₹189.98 crore for Jun 25 versus ₹263.25 crore for Mar 26 and ₹332.84 crore for Jun 24. Operating income is shown at ₹450.68 crore for Jun 25 versus ₹573.20 crore for Mar 26 and ₹588.02 crore for Jun 24. Total operating expense is listed at ₹5,509.17 crore for Jun 25.

Consolidated performance details shared for Q1 FY26

The material also includes a consolidated highlights table for Q1 FY2026 (quarter ended June 30, 2025). It lists gross revenue at ₹5,960 crore, data revenue at ₹5,130 crore, EBITDA at ₹1,137 crore, and PAT at ₹232 crore. It also reports an EBITDA margin of 19.1% and a PAT margin of 3.9%.

In that consolidated set, the company reported data revenue growth of 9.4% year-on-year to ₹5,130 crore, and consolidated revenues rising 6.6% year-on-year to ₹5,960 crore. The EBITDA margin is described as improving by 30 bps, while the table shows 19.1% versus 20.3% a year ago.

Digital portfolio and the mix shift

Across the FY26 and Q1 FY26 disclosures included here, the common thread is the emphasis on digital services as a growth driver. The FY26 digital portfolio growth is stated at 16.7% year-on-year, and the company notes that the digital portfolio accounted for more than 50% of data revenue for the first time.

For Q1 FY26, data revenue is listed at ₹5,130 crore and is described as being driven by digital fabric. Segment details provided also state that Data Services contributed ₹5,151.72 crore to revenue, followed by Voice Solutions at ₹394.54 crore.

Cost line items and exceptional charges cited

The Q1 table includes multiple cost heads, including selling, general and administrative expenses of ₹1,217.77 crore (Jun 25) and depreciation and amortisation of ₹665.69 crore (Jun 25). The “Other Operating Expenses Total” line is listed at ₹876.20 crore (Jun 25).

The material also mentions exceptional items for the quarter, including staff cost optimisation charges of ₹20.44 crore. Such charges are often tracked for their impact on operating profit and reported PAT in a quarter.

Capital actions and corporate decisions referenced

The information provided includes a board approval to raise up to ₹1,000 crore via non-convertible debentures (NCDs) on a private placement basis. It also mentions approval for the acquisition of Solutions Infini Technologies (India) Private Limited (SI India) for ₹123.6 crore to simplify the group structure.

Separately, the company’s AGM on July 9 approved a final dividend of ₹17.5 per share, as stated in the material. Investors typically link dividend decisions with free cash flow expectations and the company’s capex and funding plans.

Contingent liabilities and regulatory overhangs mentioned

The material also cites contingent liabilities relating to DoT demand notices aggregating ₹7,827.55 crore, with ₹7,496.69 crore considered as contingent liability. These disclosures are important because they can influence how investors think about risk, even when amounts are not recognised as current liabilities.

In another referenced update, a Reuters report (dated Jan 21 in the text) said Tata Communications reported a profit increase in three quarters, driven by demand for cloud solutions and connectivity offerings. The Reuters excerpt states profit rose 54.3% year-on-year to about ₹300 crore (3.0 billion rupees) for the quarter ended December 31, while total revenue rose 6.7% to about ₹6,189 crore (61.89 billion rupees). The same excerpt mentions a provision of 6,098 million rupees, which is about ₹609.8 crore.
