Sudhir Agarwal, Managing Director, DB Corp, said: “We delivered a stable performance in Q3FY26 in a quarter that was impacted by a higher base from the festive season and state elections in the same period last year. With a larger part of the festive spend shifting into Q2FY26, the YoY comparison was not directly comparable. Encouragingly, advertiser sentiment improved sequentially through the quarter, reflecting a gradual pick-up in demand across our markets. Even in this environment, our continued focus on cost discipline and operational efficiencies helped us maintain healthy margins, underlining the resilience of our operating model. Looking ahead, we remain positive on the overall consumption outlook in India. The upcoming Union Budget, expected revisions in government pay and allowances, and other policy measures should support spending in the fourth quarter. Combined with improving sequential trends and our strong brand, deep editorial connects and growing digital reach, we believe we are well positioned to capture emerging opportunities and create long-term value for our stakeholders.” Result PDF
