MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

Mr. Raju Vegesna, Chairman, said, “India is currently in a remarkable phase of growth. The combination of pro-industry regulations, a supportive investment environment and a wealth of skilled talent positions our nation as a key destination for international businesses. This confidence is driving investments and building partnerships that benefit both enterprises and the broader economy.

The advancement in regulatory and taxation norms should help accelerate investment in the network and data center landscape and enhance India’s status as a pivotal interconnect hub between Asia and the Middle East. Our robust infrastructure and comprehensive services portfolio uniquely position Sify to seize these opportunities. As enterprises and government entities advance their digital transformation and automation initiatives, Sify stands ready to support them with our innovative digital tools and services.”

All prior periods presented herein have been presented in accordance with the new structure. There is no change in total income or net profit.
