Infollion H1 FY27 Revenue Up 15.6% YoY to ₹59.04 Cr, EBITDA Margins Contract to 13.06%
Infollion Research Services released its investor presentation reporting H1 FY27 revenue from operations of ₹59.04 crore, a 15.6% YoY increase compared to ₹51.09 crore in H1 FY26. However, EBITDA declined 11.1% YoY to ₹7.71 crore as EBITDA margin compressed by 391 bps to 13.06%, driven by higher employee expenses and other overheads. PAT fell 7.7% YoY to ₹6.74 crore, delivering a diluted EPS of ₹6.93. The company maintained a debt-free balance sheet with cash and cash equivalents of ₹43.12 crore and expanded its expert panel by 13.5% in six months to 1,54,861 experts.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedInfollion presented its detailed operational and financial performance for the half-year ended September 30, 2026, disclosing revenue growth accompanied by margin compression.
Why it mattersDemonstrates healthy top-line expansion in expert calls and international reach (30% expert panel), but rising operational and employee expenses are putting short-term pressure on operating profitability.

📅 Short termThe market may weigh steady double-digit top-line growth against the 391 bps YoY compression in EBITDA margins.
📈 Long termGrowth hinges on scaling higher-margin managed services and international clients while mitigating the impact of AI disruption on routine consultation models.
⚠ Risk flags
- Operating margin compression due to 26.1% YoY rise in employee costs and 64.1% rise in other expenses
- Client concentration risk, where loss of a major account could materially impact revenues
- Cash flow conversion was muted in H1 FY27 (Operating cash flow at ₹1.30 Cr vs ₹6.74 Cr PAT), alongside rising trade receivables (₹25.45 Cr)
Key Highlights
H1 FY27 revenue grew 15.6% YoY to ₹59.04 crore from ₹51.09 crore in H1 FY26
EBITDA contracted 11.1% YoY to ₹7.71 crore, with margins shrinking 391 bps to 13.06%
PAT declined 7.7% YoY to ₹6.74 crore with PAT margin standing at 11.41%
Delivered 10,426 expert calls in H1 FY27, backed by a panel of 1,54,861 experts (up 13.5% in six months)
Remained debt-free with cash and cash equivalents of ₹43.12 crore as of September 30, 2026
👀 What to Watch

📈 Long termTransition to a publicly traded InvIT provides expanded capital-raising avenues to support planned pipeline bids (such as NHAI TOT packages) and portfolio expansion.
⚠ Risk flags

Additionally, the Board approved the acquisition/transfer of India Infoline Foundation (a Section 8 CSR company with FY26 turnover of ₹35.50 crore) from IIFL Capital Services without cash consideration or share swap.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedMr. R Venkataraman ceased to be Joint MD/KMP, shifting to a non-executive directorship, and the group CSR arm is being transferred internally to IIFL Finance.
Why it mattersThe governance changes and Section 8 transfer represent internal group realignments with negligible direct impact on core commercial lending operations.
Foundation FY26 Turnover: Rs. 35.50 CroreFoundation FY25 Turnover: Rs. 50.03 CroreConsideration for acquisition: No cash consideration or share swapEffective date of re-designation: October 15, 2026
📅 Short termMarket reaction is expected to be neutral as management changes represent formalization of existing roles, and the transaction is non-commercial.
📈 Long termLimited operational or structural impact on core NBFC lending profitability.
⚠ Risk flags
- Related-party transaction involving internal transfer of Section 8 entity

RBI Supervisory Evaluation Trims Indian Bank FY26 Total CRAR by 140 bps to 16.53%
During the RBI Inspection for Supervisory Evaluation (ISE) 2026, the regulator adjusted Indian Bank's capital adequacy metrics as of March 31, 2026. The RBI disallowed Rs 2,470 crore from Tier 2 capital (incorrect inclusion of specific provisions) and increased Credit Risk Weighted Assets (RWA) by Rs 22,192 crore due to omission of Credit Conversion Factor on undrawn exposures. Consequently, RBI assessed Total CRAR at 16.53% (versus 17.93% reported) and CET-1 CRAR at 15.61% (versus 16.40% reported). The bank stated there is zero impact on net profit and CRAR remains well above regulatory minimums, with adjustments already incorporated in Q2 FY27 (Sep 30, 2026) metrics.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedRBI ISE 2026 recomputed Indian Bank's March 31, 2026 Total RWA upward to Rs 459,737 crore and trimmed Tier 2 capital, reducing reported Total CRAR from 17.93% to 16.53%.
Why it mattersWhile profitability is unaffected and capital buffers remain well above the 11.50% regulatory minimum, the Rs 22,192 crore increase in Credit RWA marginally dampens surplus capital available for loan growth.
Total CRAR Reported vs RBI Assessed: 17.93% vs 16.53%Tier 2 Capital Disallowed: Rs 2470 CroreCredit RWA Increase: Rs 22079 CroreCET 1 CRAR (RBI Assessed): 15.61%Regulatory Minimum Total CRAR: 11.50%
📅 Short termMay cause minor sentiment weakness due to supervisory divergence, though mitigated by high remaining capital headroom and lack of P&L impact.
📈 Long termLimited structural impact as the bank remains strongly capitalized above regulatory thresholds with CET-1 at 15.61%.
⚠ Risk flags
- Underestimation of risk-weighted assets pointing to weaker internal compliance/reporting systems
- Slightly reduced capital buffer for future balance sheet expansion
Key Highlights
Total CRAR revised down by 140 bps to 16.53% from 17.93% following RBI ISE 2026 assessment
Credit RWA increased by Rs 22,192 crore to Rs 398,512 crore due to CCF application on undrawn credit lines
Tier 2 Capital lowered by Rs 2,470 crore to Rs 4,234 crore as specific provisions were wrongly included in GPLR
Common Equity Tier 1 (CET 1) capital stayed unchanged at Rs 71,764 crore, though CET-1 CRAR lowered to 15.61%
Bank confirms zero impact on reported Net Profit for FY26; adjustments factored into Sep 30, 2026 numbers
👀 What to Watch
Monitor the upcoming Q2 FY27 reported capital adequacy and credit growth capacity to verify smooth absorption of the RWA and capital changes.

Additionally, it approved a corporate guarantee of up to EUR 1,540 million to back a EUR 1,400 million bridge loan from Barclays Bank PLC. Audited H1 FY27 results and independent director reappointments were also confirmed.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedPersistent has formalized huge financing authorizations—up to $1.25B in debt/equity and a EUR 1.54B corporate guarantee—to fund the 100% acquisition of Nagarro SE.
Why it mattersThe acquisition is transformative in scale compared to Persistent's existing net worth of ₹6,710 Cr and debt of ₹394 Cr, significantly expanding European reach but sharply increasing leverage.
Approved Long-term Debt Financing Limit: USD 1,250 millionEquity/Convertible Fundraise Cap: USD 450 millionCorporate Guarantee Amount: up to EUR 1,540 millionBridge Financing Facility: EUR 1,400 million
📅 Short termMarkets will digest the substantial leverage and potential equity dilution ($450 million) alongside the strategic upside of absorbing Nagarro SE.
📈 Long termIf completed successfully, this marks a massive step-change toward its multi-billion dollar revenue ambitions, though balance sheet leverage and integration execution will be critical monitorables.
⚠ Risk flags
- High balance sheet leverage via bridge loan of EUR 1,400M and debt up to USD 1,250M relative to current debt of ₹394 Cr

Additionally, the Board approved setting up an International Financial Services Centre Insurance Office (IIO) at GIFT City, subject to shareholder and regulatory clearances.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedBoard gave in-principle approval to raise ₹500 crore in tier-2/subordinated debt and resolved to set up a new IFSC office at GIFT City.
Why it mattersThe ₹500 crore subordinated debt provides minor solvency support (~2.8% of net worth), while the GIFT City expansion opens access to global/cross-border insurance and reinsurance business.

What changedWipro released its financial results for Q2 FY26-27, showing flat constant-currency sequential IT services revenue growth and modest margin expansion amid declining quarterly order bookings.
Why it mattersThe performance highlights stable margin execution (16.5%) and strong cash generation, but a steep 58.6% QoQ drop in large deal bookings and muted guidance signal persistent revenue growth challenges.

Heritage Foods Q2 FY27: Revenue Up 19% YoY to ₹1,319.6 Cr; PAT Falls 39% to ₹30.9 Cr on Milk Inflation
Heritage Foods reported a 19% YoY increase in consolidated revenue to ₹1,319.6 crore for Q2 FY27, supported by strong volume and value gains in Value-Added Products (VAP). However, elevated milk procurement prices (+11% YoY to ₹47.73/L) compressed gross margins by 271 bps YoY to 21.8%, causing net profit (PAT) to decline 39% YoY to ₹30.9 crore. Sequentially, EBITDA margin improved 98 bps QoQ to 5.6%, and PAT recovered 24% QoQ. VAP share (excluding ghee/butter) expanded 410 bps YoY to reach 35.4% of revenue.
