Tejas Networks faced a challenging FY26, with declining revenues and losses, largely due to project delays and reduced contributions from key contracts.
Due mostly to delays in obtaining significant contracts and a slowdown in projects from Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (BSNL), Tejas Networks reported a dismal financial performance for FY26. After reporting a profit of ₹447 crore the year before, the company reported a net loss of ₹909 crore. Additionally, revenue fell sharply to ₹1,103 crore.
Tejas Networks Reports Weak FY26 Performance
The completion of a significant BSNL 4G expansion project in FY25, which had earlier increased income, was primarily responsible for the decline. The lack of comparable large-scale projects and the postponement of new contracts had an effect on overall performance in FY26. Additionally, the business recorded a sustained quarterly deficit, which was its sixth straight quarter in the red.
📉 FY26 Financial Highlights
- Net Loss: ₹909 crore
- Previous Profit: ₹447 crore
- Revenue: ₹1,103 crore
- Trend: Sharp decline
- Reason: Project delays & weak contracts
Impact of BSNL Project Slowdown
Following the results, Tejas Networks shares fell by almost 6%, indicating a weakening in investor sentiment. The high inventory levels, which were ₹2,438 crore, much higher than its order book of ₹1,514 crore, continue to raise concerns. A pending BSNL add-on order for ₹1,526 crore has added to the uncertainty and accumulation of inventory.
Investor Concerns and Inventory Pressure
The business is nevertheless hopeful about future expansion in spite of these obstacles. Arnob Roy, the recently hired CEO, emphasized that FY26 is a transitional year with goals of better performance and a return to profitability by FY27. The company is concentrating on expanding into emerging technologies and exploring international markets in order to diversify beyond BSNL.
Future Growth Strategy and Leadership Vision
🚀 Expansion Strategy
- Target: Profitability by FY27

The corporation seeks to protect margins through pricing modifications despite ongoing supply chain issues and growing component costs. Overall, Tejas Networks is setting itself up for long-term success through global expansion and next-generation communication technology, even though short-term difficulties have affected performance.
