The housing finance arm of Bajaj Housing Finance reported a robust Q1 performance, with Net Interest Income (NII) rising 33.4% to ₹887 crore. Net profit climbed 21% to ₹583 crore. Asset quality remained sound, with Gross NPA at 0.3% and Net NPA at 0.13%, backed by a 56% provision coverage for Stage 3 loans.
Oracle Financial Services posted a 4% YoY increase in net profit, reaching ₹641.9 crore for the June quarter. Revenue rose 6.4% to ₹1,852 crore, supported by sustained enterprise demand and consistent performance across geographies.
India’s second-largest IT company Infosys reported a consolidated net profit of ₹6,920 crore for Q1 FY26, an 8.7% YoY increase. Revenue rose 7.5% to ₹42,279 crore. The company saw tepid headcount growth, while voluntary attrition ticked up slightly during the quarter.
Auto manufacturer Force Motors posted a stellar Q1, with net profit jumping 52.3% YoY to ₹176.3 crore. Revenue from operations climbed 21.9% to ₹2,297 crore, boosted by strong performance across commercial and passenger vehicle segments.
The Tata Group’s FMCG arm Tata Consumer Products saw its net profit rise 15% YoY to ₹334 crore in Q1, modestly exceeding market expectations. However, revenue growth at 9.8% YoY to ₹4,779 crore came in slightly below projected figures.
Pharma major Dr. Reddy’s reported Q1 revenue of ₹8,542 crore, up from ₹7,672.7 crore YoY but narrowly missing estimates. Net profit increased to ₹1,417.8 crore, up from ₹1,392 crore, yet lagged consensus forecasts of ₹1,478.3 crore.

With Q1 FY26 earnings underway, markets remain influenced by company-specific developments rather than broad sectoral trends. While firms like Infosys, Bajaj Housing Finance, and Force Motors reported solid quarterly numbers, others posted results largely in line with expectations. As more earnings are released, investor focus will likely remain on individual performance metrics and strategic announcements shaping short-term sentiment.
