Tata Teleservices Reports ₹645.80 Crore Loss for H1 FY26 Amid Revenue Decline

Tata Teleservices (Maharashtra) Limited (TTML) reported a net loss of ₹645.80 crore for the half year ended September 30, 2025, showing slight improvement from ₹653.79 crore in the same period last year. The company continues to face challenges from declining revenue and high finance costs.

Revenue and Profitability in H1 FY26

TTML’s revenue from operations fell 14.49% year-on-year to ₹570.38 crore for H1 FY26. Despite this decline, EBITDA improved marginally by 3.36% to ₹286.58 crore compared to the same period last year, indicating some operational efficiency gains.

Finance Costs and Liquidity Concerns

Finance costs remained elevated at ₹857.88 crore, slightly higher than ₹851.47 crore a year ago. This substantial interest burden continues to weigh heavily on profitability. Current liabilities exceeded current assets as of September 30, 2025, signalling potential liquidity concerns.

Support from Parent Company

TTML received a support letter from its ultimate holding company, assuring financial backing to cover liquidity shortfalls over the next 12 months. This commitment is critical for TTML’s ability to continue as a going concern amid accumulated losses exceeding paid-up capital and reserves.

Operational Overview and Debt Position

TTML operates under a Unified License, providing telecommunication services. As of September 30, 2025, the company had Commercial Papers worth ₹990 crore outstanding, reflecting its reliance on short-term funding.
