MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
Mr. Raju Vegesna, Chairman, said, “India is entering a new generation of IT transformation. I firmly believe that the next decade of digital infrastructure will be written in India. The pace at which public and private enterprises are investing in technology, cloud adoption, and automation is unmatched — driven by an urgency not just to participate in the digital economy, but to lead it.
Government policy, industry ambition, and a vibrant innovation ecosystem are combining to create a perfect storm of opportunity. National programs like Digital India and the India AI Mission are bringing in investments in compute infrastructure and digital access, while regulatory clarity is unlocking private capital into hyperscale data centers, 5G and beyond.
India is not just consuming AI — it is rapidly climbing up the value chain to become a creator of AI tools, frameworks, and domain-specific solutions. This ambition will translate into robust demand for integrated infrastructure that supports high-performance workloads, edge computing, and sovereign data requirements.
India will not just be a growth market; it will be the growth engine.”
Mr. M P Vijay Kumar, ED & Group CFO, said, “We remain steadfast in our commitment to cost efficiency and fiscal discipline even as we navigate an increasingly complex business environment. Every investment decision is taken with long-term value creation in mind overseen by a rigorous approach to risk management. While our current results reflect the impact of depreciation, interest costs, and rising manpower expenses, these are conscious trade-offs in our strategy to build future-ready capabilities across our businesses.
Our financial strategies are designed with resilience and agility, enabling us to respond effectively to evolving market dynamics. At the same time, we are embedding sustainability as a foundational business tenet—well beyond regulatory compliance. Ultimately, our focus remains on delivering predictable, long-term value to stakeholders while staying true to our disciplined investment philosophy and high standards of accountability.
The cash balance at the end of the quarter was INR 3,861 Million.”

Management-defined Performance Measures (MPMs)
Sify uses Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) as the management-defined performance measure in its public communications. This measure is not specified by IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore might not be comparable to apparently similar measures used by other entities.
Management believes adjusting operating profit for these items provides comprehensive information of the company’s operating performance.
