Board meeting outcome: what was decided
The board met on 5th November 2026 and, along with the quarterly numbers, approved four other items.
- Results approved: unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the second quarter and half year ended 30 September 2026.
- Auditor's review: B S R & Co. LLP, the statutory auditors, issued the Limited Review Report with an unmodified opinion, meaning the auditors did not flag a qualification on the results they reviewed.
- Leadership change: Mr. Noel N. Tata (DIN 00024713) retires from the office of Vice Chairman and Director with effect from 12th November 2026, in accordance with the Tata Group Governance Guidelines. He has been associated with the company since August 2003, which the board recorded as 23 years of association.
- New statutory auditor proposed: Price Waterhouse Chartered Accountants LLP has been approved and recommended as statutory auditor for a period of five years, subject to shareholders' approval, from the conclusion of the 43rd Annual General Meeting in 2027 until the conclusion of the 48th Annual General Meeting thereafter.
- Fund raising: the board approved a proposal to raise funds by issuing rated, listed, redeemable, unsecured Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) on a private placement basis, for an amount up to ₹ 2,500 crore. A committee of the board is authorised to finalise the terms of issue and allotment. The word unsecured matters: these borrowings are not backed by specific assets.
How the quarter looked (consolidated)
- Total Income: ₹20,533 crores, up 25% over the same quarter last year.
- Profit before tax: ₹2,329 crores at an 11.3% margin, up 53%.
- Profit before tax adjusted for the custom duty increase in gold for the quarter: ₹1,793 crores at an 8.7% margin, up 18%.
- Profit after tax: ₹1,722 crores, up 54%.
- Half year: Total Income ₹41,286 crores (up 32%), Profit before tax ₹4,758 crores (up 58%), Profit after tax ₹3,499 crores (up 58%).
The company noted that Total Income in these highlights excludes Bullion sales and Digi-Gold sales in all periods, that the reported consolidated figures include a non-operational Ind-AS credit of ₹671 crores in both Total Income and Profits, and that profits include custom duty gains of ₹536 crores for the quarter and ₹943 crores for the half year.
Business-wise for the quarter
- Jewellery grew 24% to ₹17,495 crores (excluding Bullion and Digi-Gold sales); India Business Income rose 21% to ₹16,343 crores.
- Watches Total Income ₹1,881 crores, up 27%, with EBIT of ₹412 crores at a 21.9% margin.
- EyeCare Total Income ₹281 crores, up 28%, with EBIT of ₹23 crores at an 8.2% margin.
- Titan Engineering & Automation Total Income ₹636 crores, up 53%, with EBIT of ₹178 crores.
- Emerging businesses combined Total Income ₹171 crores, up 21%, recording a loss of ₹6 crores.
What a retail investor should note
- The results are described as unaudited, but they carry a statutory auditor's limited review with an unmodified opinion, so an independent check has been done on the numbers.
- The NCD plan of up to ₹ 2,500 crore is a borrowing decision; because these NCDs are unsecured, they sit as unsecured debt on the company's books.
- The change of statutory auditor is a proposal that goes to shareholders for approval, covering a five-year term starting after the 2027 annual general meeting.
- The retirement of the Vice Chairman is a board-level change effective 12 November 2026.
