HCL Technologies Limited has told the exchanges that its board, at a meeting on 12 Oct 2026 that ran from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, approved the unaudited consolidated and standalone results for the quarter and half year ended 30 Sep 2026. Consolidated profit for the September quarter was ₹5,132 crore, up 21% from ₹4,236 crore a year earlier, and revenue from operations rose 11% to ₹35,620 crore from ₹31,942 crore.
Revenue was 3% above the ₹34,579 crore of the June 2026 quarter, and profit was 11% above the ₹4,626 crore of that quarter. Total income was ₹35,854 crore, against ₹32,357 crore a year earlier. Profit before tax was ₹6,467 crore, against ₹5,702 crore, and the tax expense was ₹1,335 crore, against ₹1,466 crore. Basic earnings per share were ₹18.96, against ₹15.63.
Employee benefits expense was ₹19,828 crore, against ₹18,301 crore, and outsourcing costs rose to ₹5,344 crore from ₹4,475 crore. For the half year, revenue from operations was ₹70,199 crore against ₹62,291 crore a year earlier, and profit was ₹9,758 crore against ₹8,080 crore. The board also declared an interim dividend of ₹12 per share, covered in a separate article.
Inference
Profit grew about twice as fast as revenue. The filing shows two reasons: profit before tax rose by about 13%, and the tax expense was lower than a year earlier even though pre-tax profit was higher.
Employee costs and outsourcing costs both rose, but by less than revenue in the case of employee costs. The filing’s statements do not break revenue down by region or service line.
