Indus Towers Reports Modest Q4 Profit Growth Amid Vodafone Idea Stabilization

Indus Towers reported a slight 0.8% year-on-year profit increase to ₹1,793 crore in Q4 FY26, with revenue rising 4.8% to ₹8,101 crore. Sequentially, profit improved modestly despite a small revenue decline. Rising expenses, mainly power and fuel, impacted margins. Brokerage Nomura highlights Vodafone Idea's financial recovery as a key factor for Indus Towers' tenancy growth and potential dividend resumption, which could narrow valuation gaps with global peers and support future earnings.
