Tata Communications net profit surges 86% in September quarter

Tata Communications posted a consolidated net profit of ₹341.03 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, marking an 86.29 per cent increase from ₹183.06 crore in the corresponding period last year, the Mumbai-based telecom and digital services company said in a regulatory filing Thursday.

Revenue from operations climbed 9.6 per cent to ₹6,687.89 crore in the September quarter, compared with ₹6,099.75 crore in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year. The company also showed sequential improvement, with profit more than doubling from the June quarter while revenue grew 1.6 per cent quarter-on-quarter.

The growth was underpinned by strong performance across key business segments. Data revenue reached ₹5,810 crore while the company's digital portfolio revenue grew to ₹3,016 crore, reflecting accelerating demand for cloud and connectivity services.

The results come as enterprises increasingly adopt artificial intelligence and advanced digital infrastructure. Tata Communications said its Unified AI Stack offering is gaining traction with customers, positioning the company to capitalize on emerging demand for data center-to-data center connectivity—a structural growth opportunity where its extensive network assets provide competitive advantage.
