HFCL posted a consolidated net profit at ₹184.45 crore in the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared with a net loss of ₹83.30 crore recorded during the same quarter of the previous financial year. The telecoms firm posted a 128% rise in revenue for the quarter under review at ₹1,824 crore compared with the ₹801 crore recorded during the year-ago quarter.

For the full year, the company’s net profit rose to ₹329.44 crore, a 90% rise over the ₹173.26 crore reported in FY25, underpinned by a 21.77% increase in annual revenue to ₹4,949.27 crore. The company’s EBITDA rose 63.15% during the year, HFCL said in a statement.

The company has recommended a dividend of 20%.

Mahendra Nahata, Managing Director of HFCL, said that FY26 has been a defining year for the company, during which it delivered its highest-ever performance.

A primary driver of this success was the phenomenal surge in export revenue, which reached ₹2,047 crore to account for 41% of total revenue, up from just 12% in the previous year. The company’s EBITDA also grew by 63% to ₹826.75 crore, reflecting a disciplined execution of strategic priorities and improved realisations in high fibre-count optical fibre cables.
