Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
Tejas Networks reported consolidated net revenue of INR 402.16 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, marking a 20.88% sequential expansion over the preceding quarter and a substantial increase compared to the same period in the previous year.
Top-line growth was primarily driven by international shipments of 5G radios alongside domestic deliveries of 100G/400G optical and FTTx products.
Despite top-line improvements, the company posted a consolidated loss after tax of INR 202.24 crore for Q1 FY27, reflecting ongoing operating cost structures, finance expenses, and depreciation charges.
Geographically, the revenue mix for the quarter split evenly with 50% derived from domestic markets and 50% from international regions, excluding other operating revenues.
The company closed the quarter with an order book of INR 1,529 crore, where domestic orders accounted for 93% and international commitments represented 7%.
Inventories stood at INR 2,358 crore at the end of June 2026, which management noted will be heavily utilized in executing forthcoming BSNL 4G add-on orders.
Net working capital climbed due to increases in net trade receivables—which reached INR 2,232 crore net of customer advances—and scheduled financial payouts.
The company's cash and cash equivalents improved to INR 589 crore, while gross debt stood at INR 4,866 crore, resulting in a net debt figure of INR 4,277 crore.

Financial interpretation
What the reported numbers mean
Profit after tax represented -50.3% of reported quarterly operating revenue. This is a calculated net-profit-to-sales ratio, not a company-reported operating margin. It measures the outcome after expenses and tax; it does not, by itself, establish how margins changed versus another period.
Profit before tax was equivalent to -67.3% of quarterly operating revenue. The distinction between pre-tax and post-tax profit matters when interpreting earnings; neither ratio identifies an underlying cost driver without a properly matched comparative period.
Total income exceeded operating revenue by ₹8.97 crore. This is the disclosed difference between the two lines, not incremental sales. The distinction matters when assessing how much of the quarter’s reported income came from the operating top line.
Ratios above are calculated from the reported quarterly figures. They are analytical descriptions, not company-reported margin guidance or an investment recommendation.
