IRCTC Q2 Profit Falls 23% Amid Revenue Growth and Rail Neer Provision
IRCTC reported a 23 percent year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to around Rs 264 crore for Q2 FY27, despite a 16 percent rise in revenue to approximately Rs 1,333 crore. The decline was influenced by a significant provision related to the Rail Neer segment, which posted a loss despite revenue growth. Catering and tourism segments saw notable revenue increases, while internet ticketing revenue rose marginally. Sequentially, both profit and revenue declined compared to the previous quarter.
