FY26 Financial and Operational Highlights

The company reported strong operational and financial performance for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The following table summarises key consolidated financial metrics:

The decline in EBITDA and PAT was primarily attributable to the higher base in FY25, which included recovery of significant overdues from a major customer amounting to approximately ₹51 Billion. Adjusted for this, EBITDA and net profit grew by 11.4% and 13.0% respectively in FY26.

On the operational front, the company expanded its macro tower portfolio to 264,514 towers and 428,014 co-locations as on March 31, 2026, with net additions of 15,209 macro towers and 22,579 co-locations during the year.

The approval will be valid from the date of the 20th AGM up to the date of the 21st AGM, subject to a maximum period of fifteen months. All such transactions are conducted on an arm's length basis and in the ordinary course of business.

Indus Towers Limited has fixed Monday, August 10, 2026, as the record date for determining shareholders eligible for its recommended final dividend of ₹14 per fully paid-up equity share for FY26. This update clarifies the timeline for the payout, which totals approximately ₹36,934 Million and remains subject to shareholder approval at the company’s 20th Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for August 19, 2026. The confirmation of the record date ensures investors know precisely when they must hold shares to qualify for the distribution, a key metric for income-focused portfolios in the telecom infrastructure sector.

The announcement was filed pursuant to Regulation 42 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Indus Towers had previously recommended the dividend in April 2026. Upon approval at the AGM, the dividend will be paid within 30 days to members whose names appear in the register of members or depository records as of close of business on August 10, 2026.

Dividend and Shareholder Timeline

Shareholders must ensure their holdings are reflected in the records by the cut-off date. The following table outlines the critical dates for the dividend process and the upcoming AGM:

FY26 Financial Context

The dividend recommendation aligns with Indus Towers’ operational performance in FY26. The company reported revenue from operations of ₹324,931 Million, a 7.9% year-on-year increase. However, reported EBITDA declined 14% to ₹179,756 Million, and PAT fell 28% to ₹71,449 Million. These declines were primarily due to a higher base in FY25, which included a one-time recovery of approximately ₹51 Billion in overdues from a major customer. Adjusted for this item, underlying EBITDA and net profit grew by 11.4% and 13.0% respectively.

Operational and Strategic Updates

Indus Towers expanded its macro tower portfolio to 264,514 towers as of March 31, 2026, with net additions of 15,209 macro towers during the year. The company maintained a network uptime of 99.97% and increased its solar-powered sites to over 42,400. Strategically, the firm initiated expansion into Africa, incorporating subsidiaries in Nigeria, Uganda, and Zambia, though these entities had not commenced operations by year-end. Additionally, Indus Towers fully redeemed its outstanding Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) of ₹15,000 Million, resulting in a net cash position of ₹(49,316) Million excluding lease liabilities.

Regulatory Compliance

In line with SEBI’s Master Circular dated February 6, 2026, holders of physical securities must submit Form ISR-1 to KFin Technologies Limited with updated PAN, bank, and nomination details to avoid folio freezing. A special window for re-submitting physical share transfer requests rejected before April 1, 2019, remains open until February 4, 2027.
