India Inc Reports Broad Q1 FY27 Earnings Growth Amid Rising Costs
Indian corporate earnings for Q1 FY27 showed broad-based growth, with 19 sectors surpassing estimates. Key contributors included financials, metals, oil and gas excluding oil marketing companies (OMCs), automobiles, technology, and telecom. Nifty companies recorded a 10-quarter high 18% year-on-year profit growth, led by large-, mid-, and small-cap firms. However, OMCs faced losses due to elevated crude prices, and rising input costs moderated overall profit growth to 11%. Revenue growth reached a nine-quarter high at around 19%, supported by upcoming festivals and premiumization strategies.
