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.” BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS  The Revenue split between the businesses for the quarter was Network services 41%, Data Center services 37% and Digital services 22%.During the quarter, Sify commissioned 8.6 MW of additional Data Center capacity.As of June 30, 2025 Sify provides services via 1159 fibre nodes across the country, a 10% increase over same quarter last year.As on June 30, 2025, Sify has deployed 9661 contracted SDWAN service points across the country CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENTS Among the most prominent new contracts during the quarter were the following: Network Services A global IT leader contracted Sify for dedicated capacity on our National Long-Distance network.One of the world’s largest spirit manufacturer contracted for high-redundancy network infrastructure between their factory and regional locations.A large private bank contracted Sify to set up a Network Address Translation Gateway (NAT) in multiple cities and connect to the cloud.A foreign bank, a direct-to-home entertainment platform, a multinational digital communications technology and a leading global optical and digital solutions company contracted for an MPLS build.A foreign bank contracted Sify to connect their data center to multiple cloud platforms.Multiple State and Private banks signed up for managed SD WAN services.The Network business signed up an MSA with a global telecommunication leader.
