Samsung India Profit Drops 36 Percent Despite Revenue Growth
Samsung India made less profit in FY26 than it did the year before.
Its profit fell by 36 per cent to Rs 7,228.10 crore.
However, the company’s sales increased slightly to about Rs 1.12 trillion.
Mobile phones were an important part of its business.
Samsung also sells televisions, tablets, appliances and computers.
The company faced strong competition from other electronics brands.
Reports also said it cut some jobs in its television and appliance businesses.
These changes were linked to higher operating costs, weaker customer demand and company restructuring.
Samsung India Electronics reported consolidated profit of Rs 7,228.10 crore in FY26, down 36 per cent from Rs 11,287.50 crore in FY25.
Revenue from operations rose 1.2 per cent year-on-year to Rs 1.12 trillion in FY26.
Total consolidated income, including other income, reached Rs 1,14,738.60 crore during the fiscal year.
Mobile phones remained a major revenue driver, alongside televisions, tablets, home appliances and computers.
Samsung India reportedly reduced staff across its television and home-appliance businesses amid cost pressures, muted demand and restructuring.
