ITI Limited (ITI) Q2 Results FY27 Preview: Date, Time, Expectations & Key Things To Watch
ITI Limited is a state-owned telecom equipment and turnkey project company executing government programmes such as ASCON Phase-IV, BharatNet Phase-III and the BSNL 4G West Zone rollout. This quarter's print will speak to whether the 14.65% YoY revenue decline persisted, whether the auditor's Disclaimer of Conclusion carries into Q2, and progress on land monetization including the Rs. 1,685.40 Cr NLMC e-auction.

ITI Limited Q2 Results Date and Time
Per the board meeting notice, the Board is scheduled to meet on Friday, 13 November 2026 to approve the unaudited standalone and consolidated Q2/H1 FY27 results (Regulation 29(1)(a), SEBI LODR).
What to expect from ITI Limited's Q2 FY27 results
The Q2 FY27 print will test whether the revenue decline seen in Q1 — Rs. 425.03 Cr, down 14.65% YoY and 32.28% QoQ — persisted through the September quarter, and whether the newly received order flow begins converting into billing.
On costs, the dominant read is the memory/semiconductor complex: DRAM-linked component costs were still 4.7x the year-ago level in August 2026 and low-end smartphone BOMs rose about 70% YoY, with allocation-based rationing — the same failure mode the MD&A blames for delivery slippages — while ITI's inventories of only Rs. 205.71 Cr offer little low-cost buffer and tender-priced B2G contracts lag any pass-through.
Offsetting this below the line, finance costs should ease: the repo was unchanged at 5.25% through the quarter, the 1-yr median MCLR drifted to 8.61% in September, and the Rs. 902.81 Cr land-sale-funded debt repayment closed 3 July 2026 reduces interest from Q2.
On the demand side, the Rs. 856.39 Cr BSNL 4G West Zone expansion order (7,613 sites) was received in July 2026, the ITI-executed BharatNet Phase-3 Himachal build surpassed 40% completion as of 7 September 2026, and the Rs. 2,241.11 Cr unbilled revenue pipeline is stated as convertible within the next 12 months from the FY26 accounts.
The upcoming call is also where investors will look for the auditor's position — whether the Q1 Disclaimer of Conclusion persists — and for milestone evidence on ASCON Phase-IV, where handover to the Army is due by December 2026.
