NSDL Q1FY26 Performance Recap
To set the stage, NSDL reported its first-quarter FY26 results with notable growth in profitability despite a marginal decline in overall income. Consolidated profit after tax rose 15.16% YoY, reaching Rs 89.6 crore in Q1FY26, compared to Rs 77.8 crore in Q1FY25. EBITDA also increased 19.39% YoY to Rs 129.5 crore, from Rs 108.5 crore during the same period last year.
However, NSDL’s total income dropped to Rs 346.8 crore in Q1FY26 from Rs 364.9 crore in the June 2025 quarter. Analysts have highlighted that while revenue pressure was evident, operational efficiency contributed to higher profitability.
NSDL shares have experienced mixed performance in recent weeks. On the BSE, the stock declined 0.65% over the last five trading sessions and 7.69% in the past month. Since its listing in August 2025, the share price has gained 15.56%, reflecting investor confidence in the long-term prospects of the depository.
As of 9:41 a.m. on Wednesday, NSDL shares were trading 2.02% higher at Rs 1,081.65 per share on the BSE, outperforming the 0.63% rise in the BSE Sensex. This suggests that market participants are positioning ahead of the Q2FY26 results announcement.
