Company’s Performance

FY 2024-25 was a year of steady and sustained growth for Tata Communications, against the backdrop of ongoing global
macroeconomic challenges. The Company continued to build momentum in the digital portfolio, which recorded a 29.5% year-
on-year growth and now constitutes nearly half of the overall revenues. This performance emphasises the growing relevance of
our digital fabric strategy encompassing Network, Cloud, IoT, and Interaction fabrics. The order book and deal pipeline remain
healthy, supported by large, multi-fabric wins across diverse geographies and industry verticals.

During the year, the Company took several strategic initiatives, including the monetisation of a large land parcel at Ambattur,
Chennai and divestment of non-core subsidiaries such as Tata Communications Payment Solutions Limited. We have sharpened
capital allocation and positioned the Company to prioritise investment in core business areas.

As we enter FY 2025-26, Tata Communications is well-
positioned with a sharpened strategic focus, continued
digital growth, and a roadmap for delivering sustainable,
long-term value.

On a standalone basis, the revenue from operations for
FY 2024-25 was H7,277.86 crore, lower by 8.93% over the
previous year's revenue of H7,991.68 crore. The profit after
tax (‘PAT') attributable to shareholders for FY 2024-25 was
H1,050.87 crore as compared to PAT of H638.63 crore for the
previous year. These changes reflect the impact of the hive-
off of the Company's new-edged digital services business
to Novamesh Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company at the start of the financial year. The increase in
PAT is additionally attributable to the exceptional income
from land monetisation during the year.

On a consolidated basis, the revenue from operations for FY
2024-25 was H23,108.59 crore, higher by 11.18% over the previous
year's revenue of H20,784.68 crore. The PAT attributable to
shareholders and non-controlling interests for FY 2024-25
was H1,836.78 crore as compared to H969.58 crore for the
previous year. The growth in consolidated revenue is driven by
additional revenue and synergies from the entities acquired
during the previous financial year, gain on land monetisation
and strategic divestment of Tata Communications Payment
Solutions Limited by the Company during the year.

Dividend

The Board recommends a dividend of H25/- per fully paid equity
share on 285,000,000 equity shares of face value H10/- each,

July 10, 2025. If approved, the dividend will result in a cash
outflow of H712.5 crore. The dividend on equity shares is
250% of the paid-up value of each share. The total dividend
pay-out works out to 38.79% of the consolidated profit after
tax attributable to shareholders and non-controlling interest
for FY 2024-25.
