Results approved in the same meeting

The Board approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026, along with the Limited Review Report of the statutory auditors, Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP.

Consolidated numbers for the quarter (in INR millions)

• Revenue from operations: 43,964.85
• Total income: 43,985.12
• Profit for the period: 746.61
• Basic earnings per share: 5.05

For the half year ended September 30, 2026 (in INR millions)

• Revenue from operations: 85,781.70
• Total income: 86,057.44
• Profit for the period: 1,567.85
• Basic earnings per share: 10.55

What the auditor flagged

• The review report carries a qualified conclusion. The matter relates to certain tax deductions claimed by the Parent and recognised in income tax expense in current and preceding periods, which have been disallowed by the Income Tax Authority. The Parent has challenged the disallowance in a judicial forum and, supported by external legal and tax expert opinions, believes it is probable the deductions will be accepted on ultimate resolution.
• The auditors also drew attention, as an Emphasis of Matter, to demands received in respect of provident fund and a contingency related to pending litigation. The conclusion is not modified on this account.
• The same tax matter was also qualified in the reports for the quarter ended 30 June 2026, the quarter and half year ended 30 September 2025 and the year ended 31 March 2026.

Registrar and share transfer agent

• The Board approved continuing with MUFG Intime India Private Limited as the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, citing recent enhancement in the existing registrar's service standards.
• The company will therefore not proceed with the proposed change of registrar, and the earlier intimation dated May 04, 2026 stands superseded.

What this means for a retail shareholder

• A dividend of Rs. 5/- per share is payable to holders on the record date; the payout date is on or before November 20, 2026.
• The results show the consolidated profit for the quarter at 746.61 million and for the half year at 1,567.85 million, with basic EPS of 5.05 and 10.55 respectively.
• The qualified conclusion on a tax matter is a point to note when reading these results; the company's position is that the deductions are probable of being accepted on final resolution.
