For FY 2026, standalone revenue from operations rose to ₹4,102.13 crore from ₹3,878.86 crore, while total income reached ₹4,637.70 crore, but profit after tax declined to ₹1,393.52 crore from ₹1,654.46 crore, reflecting higher operational, depreciation and cricket franchise costs as well as exceptional items weighing on margins.

In the March quarter, revenue from operations stood at ₹848.48 crore versus ₹909.01 crore a year earlier, with total income at ₹941.67 crore compared with ₹1,135.86 crore, and quarterly profit after tax easing to ₹218.64 crore from ₹362.18 crore.
