One 97 Communications, the parent company of Paytm, reported a consolidated net profit of ₹184 crore for Q4 FY26, a significant turnaround from a loss of ₹540 crore in the same quarter last year. Its operational revenue rose 18.4% year-on-year to ₹2,264 crore. The company noted that its Q4 results were influenced by the discontinuation of the Payments Infrastructure Development Fund (PIDF) scheme, and the UPI incentives for FY26 are yet to be finalized. Despite these headwinds, the company achieved its target of offsetting 30–40% of the PIDF impact in the quarter.
