New Delhi, Oct 9 (PTI) India’s largest IT services firm Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on Thursday reported a nearly 1.4 per cent increase in consolidated net profit to Rs 12,075 crore in the July-September quarter, buoyed by broad-based growth across verticals, particularly the Banking, Financial Services and Insurance segment.

The IT major had posted a profit of Rs 11,909 crore in the corresponding quarter of 2024-25.

Revenues from operations for the second quarter of FY2025-26 rose by 2.39 per cent to Rs 65,799 crore, up from Rs 64,259 crore in the year-ago quarter, according to a regulatory filing by TCS, which kicked off the Q2 earnings season for tech firms.

Sequentially, profit declined by 5.3 per cent, although revenue increased by 3.7 per cent.

“I am pleased with our strong Q2 performance. I would like to thank all our employees for their dedication and excellence. We are on a journey to become the world’s largest AI-led technology services company. Our journey is anchored in bold transformation across talent, infrastructure, ecosystem partnerships and customer value. The investments, including the building of a world-class AI infrastructure business, demonstrate our commitment to this transformation,” TCS CEO and MD K Krithivasan said.

Total Contract Value (TCV) -- revenue a company expects to receive from a customer contract over its entire duration -- stood at USD 10 billion in the second quarter, TCS said.

TCS CFO Samir Seksaria said the company’s “disciplined execution” has aided margin expansion alongside strategic investments.

“We achieved good growth momentum across all verticals this quarter. We have prioritised wage hikes, building future-ready capabilities and establishing new ecosystem partnerships. Looking ahead, our financial resilience and robust balance sheet will support both internal transformation initiatives and external investments aligned with our aspiration,” he said.

During the second quarter of FY26, the company’s Technology & Services segment recorded the highest growth of 2.8 per cent year-on-year, while BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance), which contributed the most, 32.2 per cent to the topline, grew 1 per cent year-on-year.

In absolute terms, revenue from BFSI stood at Rs 25,717 crore in the second quarter, up by 8.12 per cent from Rs 23,785 crore in the second quarter of FY25. The Consumer Business segment generated revenue of Rs 10,351 crore, up from Rs 10,025 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal.

In geographical markets, the US declined slightly (0.1 per cent) in North America, while Latin America saw 1.8 per cent growth.

In India, a decline of 33.3 per cent was observed during the quarter under review, with the country accounting for 5.8 per cent of the total revenues, compared to 8.9 per cent in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year.

TCS also announced the incorporation of a Wholly Owned Subsidiary (WOS) in India to establish multiple AI and Sovereign Data Centres for providing Infrastructure and technology-enabled Services. In the filing, the company said it will establish a new business entity to build a 1 GW capacity AI data centre in India.

Furthermore, it said it has acquired a 100 per cent stake in US-based ListEngage, for USD 72.80 million (excluding management incentives and costs).
