EBITDA was Rs. 4,981 Cr, up 6.3% YoY; the 41.9% margin was stable YoY, with sequential moderation reflecting annual increments and brand-refresh marketing.
Cash EBITDA, pre-Ind AS 116, was Rs. 2,498 Cr, up 11.2% YoY; margin was 21.0% versus 20.1%.
Consolidated reported loss after tax was Rs. 5,975 Cr versus Rs. 5,524 Cr in Q2FY26; loss excluding exceptional items was Rs. 5,513 Cr.

Outlook and guidance
Strategy targets sustained subscriber additions, double-digit revenue growth and tripling cash EBITDA in three years.
Rs. 45,000 Cr capex guidance supports network rollout; by FY29, targets include regaining coverage parity in 17 key circles and seamless 5G across urban markets.
Planned investment is expected to raise 4G population coverage in 17 key circles to over 95%, from almost 88% at September 2026.
Five other circles are targeted for 100% 2G-to-4G coverage on national highways, key state highways, at airports and tourist locations.
Over Rs. 13,200 Cr of capex orders had been placed against the three-year guidance, with nearly Rs. 6,000 Cr executed; management cited progress in funding discussions.
