TCS Q1 Profit Rises 6% to ₹12,760 Crore Amid Revenue Pressure

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India's largest IT services company, reported a 6% year-on-year rise in net profit to ₹12,760 crore for the first quarter of FY26, surpassing analyst expectations. Revenue from operations grew modestly by 1.3% year-on-year to ₹63,437 crore but declined 3.1% in constant currency terms due to global macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties impacting client demand. TCS's operating margin expanded by 30 basis points sequentially to 24.5%, supported by robust deal closures and growth in new-age services such as AI and cost optimization. The company declared an interim dividend of ₹11 per share, with the payout scheduled for August 4, 2025. Segment-wise, BFSI showed revenue growth, while communications, media, technology, life sciences, and consumer verticals faced declines. TCS added over 6,000 employees during the quarter, emphasizing continued investment in talent development and AI ecosystem expansion to drive long-term sustainable growth.
