Tech behemoth Microsoft India has delivered an outstanding financial performance for fiscal year 2025, reporting a substantial increase in both profit and revenue according to recent regulatory filings.
Impressive Financial Growth Metrics
The Indian subsidiary of the global technology leader recorded a remarkable 38.66% year-on-year increase in profit, reaching ₹1,245.18 crore for FY2025. This represents a significant jump from the ₹898 crore profit registered during the previous fiscal year FY24, as revealed by data from market intelligence firm Tofler.
Equally impressive was the company's revenue performance. Microsoft India's revenue from operations climbed 27.44% to ₹28,754.77 crore during FY25, up from ₹22,561.91 crore in the preceding year. The total revenue figure showed even stronger growth, surging by 28% to reach ₹29,303 crore for the fiscal year ending March 2025.
Breaking Down the Expenses
The company's financial success came despite substantial operational costs. Total expenses for the fiscal year amounted to ₹27,624 crore, with the most significant component being cost royalty. This expense category witnessed a 29% year-on-year increase to ₹20,294.13 crore in FY25, compared to ₹15,738.1 crore in the previous fiscal period.
Employee costs also saw a notable rise, increasing by 14.5% to ₹1,567.9 crore during the review period from ₹1,368.6 crore in FY24. This indicates continued investment in human resources and talent development within the Indian market.
Market Context and Response
The strong financial results demonstrate Microsoft India's growing dominance in the country's technology landscape. Despite multiple attempts by media outlets to obtain official comments on the financial performance, the company maintained its silence, with queries sent to Microsoft India remaining unanswered according to PTI reports.
The data, compiled through regulatory filings analyzed by Tofler, provides valuable insights into the operations of one of India's most significant technology players. The consistent growth across both profit and revenue metrics underscores the company's strategic positioning and successful execution in the competitive Indian market.
These results come at a time when India's technology sector continues to show robust growth, with multinational corporations playing an increasingly important role in the country's digital transformation journey. Microsoft India's performance sets a positive tone for the broader IT industry's prospects in the coming years.
