HFCL Reports Highest-Ever Consolidated Profit of ₹184.45 Crore in Q4FY26

New Delhi: Telecom gearmaker HFCL has reported its highest-ever consolidated profit of ₹184.45 crore in the fourth quarter ended March 31, driven by a surge in overseas business supported by new products and augmenting capacities. This is a significant improvement from the company's loss of ₹83.3 crore in the same period a year ago.

The improvement in financial performance was driven by a favourable shift in revenue mix towards products, an increasing share of exports, and improved realisations in high fiber-count optical fiber cables. The consolidated revenue from operations more than doubled to ₹1,824.12 crore during the reported quarter from around ₹801 crore in the March 2025 quarter.
