What the record says.
HGS reported Q4 FY26 revenue of ₹1,085 crore and EBITDA of ₹197 crore (margin 15.7%), with margins expanding ~200 bps YoY from cost rationalization. The full-year revenue was ₹4,437 crore with EBITDA margin of 13.4%. Management highlighted a record 79 new client signings and strong pipeline momentum, positioning FY27 for recovery. The media business continues to face losses (₹175 crore for FY26), but broadband and enterprise segments are growing. Project Ganga, an MoU with UP government, aims to connect 2M households via 10,000 digital service providers with minimal capex from HGS. Risks include sustained media losses and macro uncertainty delaying client decisions.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
