AI summary

Indus Towers reported Q2 FY26 total revenue of INR 81.9 billion (up 9.7% year-on-year) and core rental revenue of INR 52.4 billion (up 11.3% YoY), driven by 4,301 macro tower additions and 4,505 co-locations, taking the total base to ~256,000 towers and ~415,000 co-locations. Reported EBITDA was INR 46.1 billion with margin of 56.3%, but this was flattered by a INR 2.1 billion one-time write-back; adjusted EBITDA grew 14.9% YoY. Profit after tax stood at INR 18.4 billion (down 17.3% YoY on a reported basis, up 18.6% YoY adjusted). Free cash flow was INR 3.0 billion. Energy margins remained under pressure at -4.8% due to a prolonged monsoon driving higher diesel use. Management reaffirmed its Africa foray into Nigeria, Uganda and Zambia, with tower rollouts targeted in 3-6 months, and said dividend distribution timing remains end of FY26, contingent partly on AGR clarity for Vodafone Idea.

Likely market impact

Investors can take comfort in strong underlying tower additions, stable tenancy ratio (1.62) and best-in-class 99.965% network uptime, along with management's commitment to resume dividend payouts by Q4 FY26 once Vodafone Idea AGR clarity emerges. However, energy margin pressure and higher capex on maintenance and battery upgrades may continue to weigh on near-term free cash flows, while the Africa expansion represents a longer-dated, capital-light growth lever that is yet to show in numbers.
