The Tata Group reported a strong financial performance for the financial year 2025-26, with aggregate revenue crossing Rs 16 lakh crore and profit after tax rising significantly, according to Tata Sons Chairman N. Chandrasekaran. In the annual report of Tata Sons, the group’s principal investment holding company, Chandrasekaran said FY26 was a year marked by geopolitical challenges and rapid growth in artificial intelligence investments globally.

At the group level, Tata Group’s revenue increased by 7.8 per cent to Rs 16,24,030 crore in FY26, while profit after tax surged 51.9 per cent to Rs 1,70,525 crore. Chandrasekaran said the results reflected sustained improvement across the conglomerate’s businesses, with established companies delivering strong performances in both revenue growth and profitability.

Tata Sons also recorded positive financial results during the year, with revenue growing 9.1 per cent to Rs 42,367 crore and profit after tax increasing 21.8 per cent to Rs 31,961 crore. The board of Tata Sons has recommended a final dividend of Rs 1,10,717 per share, subject to approval from shareholders.

Chandrasekaran highlighted that the group’s FY26 revenue was 2.1 times higher and profits were 5.4 times higher compared with FY20 levels, describing the growth as a result of long-term transformation efforts. He also noted that Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), Tata Group’s British luxury carmaker, faced a cyberattack during the second quarter of FY26 that temporarily halted production, but the company recovered and returned close to normal production levels by the fourth quarter.

The Tata Sons chairman also discussed the group’s emerging businesses, including Tata Electronics, Tata Digital, Air India, and Agratas. He said these ventures represent long-term strategic investments similar to earlier Tata initiatives in steel, aviation, research, software services, and global expansion that initially appeared ambitious but later became important national assets.

Chandrasekaran said Tata Electronics is progressing towards becoming an integrated player across the electronics value chain and has already become the fourth-largest Tata Group company by revenue, generating Rs 1,31,082 crore in FY26. He added that the company is building a semiconductor ecosystem in India, requiring advanced manufacturing capabilities, skilled workforce development, and long-term investment.

On Tata Digital, Chandrasekaran said the company has adapted to changing trends in India’s e-commerce sector, including the rise of quick commerce. While Tata Digital reported a loss of Rs 4,974 crore in FY26, he said the platform achieved a gross merchandise value (GMV) of Rs 46,515 crore within four years of launch.

Discussing Air India’s transformation, Chandrasekaran said rebuilding the airline is a long-term process involving fleet upgrades, workforce training, service improvements, and operational restructuring. He said the transformation should be viewed as a five- to ten-year journey due to supply chain challenges, legacy systems, and the need to develop aviation expertise.

Chandrasekaran also highlighted Agratas, Tata Group’s battery manufacturing venture, as a key part of its energy transition strategy. Addressing concerns over the impact of artificial intelligence on software companies, he said AI represents a major opportunity for India’s technology sector, but businesses must improve data management and integrate AI into existing systems to fully benefit from the technology.
