Tata Communications Q2 PAT down ~19%, revenue up 6.5% led by data services

Tata Communications reported a Q2 FY26 profit after tax of ₹183.2 crore, down ~19% year-on-year from ₹227.3 crore, despite a revenue rise to ₹6,100 crore (+6.5%). The decline was due to margin compression amid cost pressures, even as its data business revenue grew ~7.3%. The company said data EBITDA margins improved sequentially. It plans to expand digital infrastructure and capitalize on data growth to restore profitability.
