India Inc Reports Double-Digit Revenue and Profit Growth in Q1 FY27 Amid Margin Pressure
India Inc started FY27 with strong revenue growth, as a sample of over 150 companies reported around 17% year-on-year sales increases and net profit growth between 14.5% and 15%. Banking and financial sectors led earnings gains, supported by improving credit demand and asset quality, while operating margins contracted due to rising input costs and subdued discretionary spending in IT. Excluding banks, profit growth was minimal, and some large firms like Reliance Industries saw profit declines, reflecting mixed sectoral performance amid global economic pressures.
