Paytm has completed a full fiscal year in profit for the first time in its history, posting a net profit of Rs 552 crore in fiscal year 2026 (FY26). The company has achieved this excellent achievement from a loss of Rs 663 crore in the previous year. In the last quarter (Q4 FY26) alone, the company has been able to earn an operating income of Rs 2,264 crore and a net profit of Rs 183 crore. There was an increase of 18.4 percent in revenue compared to the same period of the previous year.
The main reason for this achievement is the strong growth in the payments and financial services sectors. Revenue from financial services increased by 52 percent year-on-year to Rs 2,593 crore. In addition, the gross merchandise value (GMV) of merchants increased by 27 percent to Rs 6.5 lakh crore, and the number of monthly customers increased to 7.7 crore. The company has also seen a surge in subscription merchants to 1.5 crore through services including Soundbox.
Better operations using artificial intelligence (AI) and tight cost control have helped the company reduce its expenses significantly. As of March 2026, Paytm has reserves of Rs 13,315 crore for future investments and expansions. The company is optimistic about achieving further growth in revenue and profits in the coming financial year (FY27).
