Detailed Narrative
Q2 FY26 Financial Performance Overview
Suyog Telematics delivered a strong Q2 FY26, with consolidated revenue reaching ₹55.4 crores, marking a 16% year-on-year growth. The company maintained robust profitability, reporting an EBITDA of ₹41.7 crores, translating to a 75% EBITDA margin, and a net profit of ₹16.6 crores, achieving a 30% net profit margin. Despite Q2 being a seasonally slow quarter for telecom deployments, the company demonstrated resilience and growth, with H1 FY26 revenue growing 17% YoY.
Strategic Expansion and Tenancy Growth Targets
The company is aggressively expanding its infrastructure, targeting 8,500-9,000 tenancies by the end of FY26, with a longer-term goal of 15,000+ sites by FY27. Key drivers include the ongoing rollout of 1,000+ sites for Vodafone Idea (VIL) by March 2026, with 500+ sites already loaded. Additionally, Suyog Telematics has bid for 12,500 BSNL sites and is confident of securing at least 6,000, primarily focusing on more profitable GBT sites, though the BSNL order is delayed to December 2025.
Airtel 5G Rollout and Revenue Upside
A significant upside for the quarter is the commencement of Airtel's 5G rollout on Suyog's 2,500 ULS sites across India. This deployment is expected to provide an immediate revenue upside of ₹3,000-4,000 per site per month with minimal CapEx, as the sites are already prepared for upgrades. Airtel aims to cover these 2,500 sites by the end of the financial year, with over 250 sites targeted for November alone, contributing to the company's H2 FY26 growth.
Funding and Capital Expenditure Plans
Suyog Telematics has secured a bank sanction limit of ₹150 crores and received ₹22 crores from promoters for warrants, alongside internal accruals, to fund its CapEx. The company estimates a total CapEx of ₹700 crores for 7,000 new towers over the next 1.5 years, with ₹300 crores already secured for 3,000 BSNL sites. Management expressed confidence in arranging the remaining ₹400 crores over the phased 12-15 month rollout period, with current quarter CapEx at ₹97 crores.
Revenue per Tenancy Dynamics and Stabilization
The average revenue per tenancy for the quarter was ₹25,000, an increase from ₹22,000 in March 2025 but a decrease from ₹30,000 in September 2024. This fluctuation is attributed to the rollout of 1,800 BSNL sites, which have lower site rentals (₹7,000-10,000) compared to private operators (₹15,000-20,000). However, the upside from Airtel 5G upgrades and the acquisition of Lotus Tele Infra's high-rental sites in Delhi are helping to stabilize the metric, with a target of ₹25,000-27,000 per month going forward⏳.
Diversification into Fibre and Inorganic Growth
The company is expanding its service offerings with a ₹35 crore one-time📎 project to lay fibre for data center companies in Mumbai, expected to materialize by December. Additionally, Suyog Telematics is in the final stages of negotiation for inorganic growth opportunities, targeting 2-3 companies in the Delhi and Rajasthan circles. These inorganic growth initiatives are anticipated to add thousands of sites and contribute to the company's FY26 revenue guidance.
BSNL's Resurgence and Strategic Importance
Management highlighted BSNL's growing importance, citing its recent achievement of operating cash profit for the first time and its strong subscriber additions in September 2025, surpassing Airtel. BSNL, along with Vodafone Idea, is strategically targeting rural areas, complementing the urban focus of Jio and Airtel. Suyog Telematics aims for BSNL to contribute up to 15% of its total revenue in the long term, while maintaining Airtel at 35-40% and Jio at 20-25%, ensuring a balanced revenue mix.
