Key Q4 FY26 Figures

Revenue growth was driven by market share gains in both merchant and consumer payments, along with strong traction in financial services distribution. On a comparable basis (excluding UPI and PIDF incentives), revenue grew even faster at 26% YoY to ₹2,254 crore.

Contribution profit came in at ₹1,254 crore, up 17% YoY (31% on a comparable basis), supported by improved payment processing margins and a higher share of high-margin financial services.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortisation (EBITDA) stood at ₹132 crore, a significant improvement compared to last year. On a comparable basis, EBITDA improved by ₹330 crore YoY, with margins also expanding steadily.

The company said it has been able to offset around 30–40% of the impact from the discontinuation of the Payments Infrastructure Development Fund (PIDF) scheme during the quarter and expects further improvement going forward.
