Net profit by year, a loss in red

The years either side of a change of basis do not compare. From the year to Mar 2026, the company's revenue for that year, ₹64,468 Cr, differs from its quarters added, ₹65,547 Cr; the company reports the part of the business demerged on 5 Dec 2025 as discontinued, and figures before the change include it.

Consolidated. The last eight quarters. The latest is shaded. Net profit is the whole group's, the other owners of its subsidiaries included; P/E and ROE use the company's own share. Net margin is left blank for Dec 2025: the profit includes the result of a business the company has discontinued, which the revenue does not, so the two make no margin.

The quarters either side of a change of basis do not compare. From the quarter to Dec 2025, the company reports the part of the business demerged on 5 Dec 2025 as discontinued, and figures before the change include it. From the quarter to Mar 2026, the company's revenue for the year to Mar 2026, ₹64,468 Cr, differs from its quarters added, ₹65,547 Cr.

Where the return came from

Yearly rates to Mar 2026, per-share figures restated for splits and bonuses.

OverReturn a yearWith the demerger reinvestedEarnings growthChange in P/EDividend yield
1 year−7.0%−5.5%+41.2%−35.6%2.0%
3 years−5.0%−4.5%+14.1%−18.6%2.1%
5 years−1.4%−1.1%+13.5%−14.8%1.9%
Return is price growth plus the average dividend yield. Change in P/E is (1 + price growth) / (1 + earnings growth) - 1, so the parts compound rather than add. Return a year is the share as it traded across the demerger; the next column is the same return with the demerger reinvested, empty for a window with no demerger in it. Earnings growth over 1, 3 and 5 years includes one-off items (exceptional items and the result of businesses sold or closed) of more than a tenth of the profit of the year to Mar 2026.
