IRFC Q2 FY26 Results: Reports Highest-Ever PAT and Record Interim Dividend; Share Price in Focus

Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC) has reported its highest-ever profit after tax (PAT) for the quarter and half year ended September 2025. The financial performance highlights the company’s steady transformation through strategic diversification and prudent asset management.

Q2FY26 Result: IRFC Reports Highest-Ever PAT

During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, IRFC recorded total income of ₹6,371.91 crore, while income for the half year stood at ₹13,290.15 crore. Profit after tax for Q2 FY26 rose to ₹1,776.98 crore compared with ₹1,612.65 crore in the same quarter last year, marking a growth of 10.19%.

For the half year, PAT reached ₹3,522.67 crore against ₹3,189.47 crore in the corresponding period last year, an increase of 10.45%. The strong performance reflects efficient liability management, stable asset quality and improved spreads across the company’s diversified portfolio.

Record Net Worth And Assets Under Management

The company’s Assets Under Management (AUM) rose to ₹4.62 lakh crore, showing a clear upward trajectory despite the absence of new projects from Indian Railways. IRFC’s net worth reached an all-time high of ₹56,193.85 crore, with earnings per share (annualised) of ₹5.39. These achievements underline the success of its proactive business initiatives during the first half of the financial year.

Business Diversification And Growth

IRFC sanctioned and executed new business agreements worth ₹45,382 crore during the half year, covering railway-linked sectors such as power generation, renewable energy, transmission, coal mining and industrial infrastructure.

This represents a ninefold increase compared with ₹5,250 crore sanctioned in the previous financial year. These value-accretive transactions have enhanced Net Interest Margins (NIM), which now stand at 1.55% (annualised), a notable improvement driven by diversification and better yield management.

Highest-Ever Interim Dividend Declaration

The Board of Directors declared the highest-ever interim dividend of ₹1.05 per share, reinforcing the company’s commitment to delivering consistent shareholder value.
