Tata Communications announced its financial results for the quarter ended December 31st, 2020. On a YoY basis, its consolidated profit after tax (PAT) rose 425 percent to Rs 309.41 crore for the third quarter ended December 31, 2020, compared to Rs 58.85 crore in the same period last year. The surge in profit was attributed to cost efficiencies and improved business processes as well as higher deferred tax credits during the quarter under review.

Our focus continues to remain on generating a healthy order book coupled with strong execution to drive our growth," said Kabir Ahmed Shakir, Chief Financial Officer, Tata Communications.
