Indian Railway Finance Corporation Limited reported total income of ₹8,391.34 crore for the quarter ended 30 June 2026. This was a 21.3% increase from the same quarter a year earlier. Profit before tax rose 10.4% to ₹1,927.21 crore. The slower profit growth reflected a 25.3% rise in finance costs, which outpaced the 19.5% increase in revenue from operations.
Total expenses stood at ₹6,464.13 crore, up 14.5% from the preceding quarter. Finance costs dominated the expense line at ₹6,421.04 crore, representing 99.3% of total expenses.
On a year-over-year basis, finance costs increased 25.3% from ₹5,124.39 crore in Q1 FY2025-26. This growth rate exceeded the 19.5% rise in revenue from operations. Sequentially, finance costs grew 16.2% from Q4 FY2025-26, roughly in line with the 14.5% increase in total income.
The quarter delivered higher total income and profit than the preceding three quarters of FY2025-26, driven by revenue from operations. However, finance costs grew faster than revenue on a year-over-year basis, leading to a modest profit-margin decline. The core lending spread widened slightly, while overall performance, while improved, remained far from the exceptional levels seen in Q2 FY2025-26.

Total income of ₹8,391.34 crore was up ₹1,062.66 crore from the previous quarter (Q4 FY2025-26). Revenue from operations, the main income driver, amounted to ₹8,261.11 crore—a 19.5% increase over the ₹6,915.38 crore recorded in Q1 FY2025-26.
Other income was ₹130.23 crore in the current quarter, compared with -₹7.37 crore in the previous quarter and ₹2.86 crore in the same quarter last year. Despite the large percentage swing, other income contributed only about 1.6% of total income.
Profit before tax was ₹1,927.21 crore, up ₹181.52 crore from the year-ago quarter and ₹242.9 crore from the previous quarter. The profit margin—profit before tax divided by total income—narrowed from 25.2% in Q1 FY2025-26 to 23.0% in the current quarter, consistent with finance costs growing faster than revenue from operations. On a sequential basis, the margin was virtually unchanged (23.0% in Q4 FY2025-26 vs. 23.0% in Q1 FY2026-27).
The spread between revenue from operations and finance costs, which represents the core earnings from the lending business, expanded modestly from ₹1,790.99 crore in Q1 FY2025-26 to ₹1,840.07 crore in the current quarter, a year-over-year increase of ₹49.08 crore.
Quarterly results show variation across the fiscal year. Q2 FY2025-26 recorded substantially higher figures, with total income of ₹13,290.15 crore and profit before tax of ₹3,522.67 crore. The other three quarters of FY2025-26 (Q1, Q3, Q4) had income between ₹6,719 crore and ₹7,329 crore and profit before tax between ₹1,684 crore and ₹1,802 crore. The current quarter’s income of ₹8,391.34 crore and profit of ₹1,927.21 crore were above those three quarters, though still well below the Q2 FY2025-26 peak.
Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC) reported its strongest-ever quarterly performance in Q1 FY2026-27, with record total income of Rs. 8,391.34 crore, PAT of Rs. 1,927.21 crore (up 10.4% YoY), and net worth of Rs. 58,791.95 crore. Management attributed the results to the success of its diversification strategy under IRFC 2.0 and maintained its zero non-performing asset (NPA) track record. The company's Net Interest Margin (NIM) stood at 1.48% (annualised), reflecting disciplined liability management.
Looking ahead, IRFC expects its diversification strategy to continue driving improved spreads and profitability through FY 2026-27, with a growing pipeline of opportunities in mobility and allied sectors. The Corporation remains committed to its zero-NPA track record and prudent risk framework, while playing a pivotal role in nation-building infrastructure as a Navratna CPSE under the Ministry of Railways.
