23 Apr 2026 CW Team

Profit after tax was Rs 2.204 bn, rising 23.1 per cent quarter on quarter and 27.8 per cent year on year, yielding a PAT margin of 21.1 per cent. The board recommended a final dividend of 750 per cent, equivalent to Rs 75 per equity share of par value Rs 10, subject to shareholder approval at the annual general meeting. The company noted that Q3’26 and FY’26 margins excluded a one-time exceptional item related to the new labour code.

The company said Media and Communications accounted for 32.7 per cent of revenue in the quarter and delivered a 5.6 per cent quarter on quarter growth in constant currency, supported by deal ramp ups and a strategic AdTech engagement alongside a Tier one US telecom contract. It also reported a multi year large win with a global device original equipment manufacturer for video and broadband products. In transportation, the firm noted consolidation after prior quarter strength and cited two strategic multi year wins in APAC and the US, with OEM business representing 77 per cent of transportation revenues.

During the year the company accelerated enterprise wide adoption of generative AI, launching DevStudio.ai and entering partnerships to embed AI across engineering and design, supported by governance on data security, intellectual property and compliance. It opened an offshore development centre for a Japanese medtech leader to advance cardiac and vascular device engineering using AI enabled technologies. The company said operational discipline, fixed bid project transition and AI driven efficiencies underpinned margin expansion and positioned it for sustainable growth.
