HT Media returns to consolidated profitability

After several years of losses, HT Media has returned to consolidated profitability for the full financial year 2025, reporting a net profit of Rs14.20cr. This turnaround was driven by a strong performance in the final quarter of FY25, though the company reported a net loss in the first quarter of FY26. The company posted a 7 percent year-on-year increase in revenue from operations, rising to Rs1,806cr in FY25 from Rs1,695cr in FY24. A significant profit of Rs41cr was recorded in the last quarter of FY25, compared to just Rs1.20cr in the same period the previous year. This strong finish was a major factor in the full-year profit. The improved financial performance was attributed to effective cost management, an increase in pricing, and a dip in newsprint prices.
