Management said tower additions were partly affected early in the quarter by supply chain disruptions linked to the West Asia conflict, which have since eased, while the company progressed its Africa expansion by securing regulatory approvals and an anchor customer across Nigeria, Uganda and Zambia. Diesel consumption fell 13% year-on-year on continued energy efficiency initiatives, and free cash flow was INR 14.4 billion for the quarter.
Indus Towers reported Q4 FY26 total revenue of INR 81 billion, up 4.8% year-on-year, and reported EBITDA of INR 44.6 billion, up 1.6% year-on-year, with EBITDA margin at 55.1%. For the full year, gross revenue grew 7.9% to INR 325 billion while profit after tax fell 28.1% due to a large prior-year writeback related to overdue receivables. Management announced a final dividend of INR 14 per share and gave updates on tower and co-location additions, energy cost initiatives, and progress on its planned expansion into Zambia, Uganda and Nigeria.
