ITC Ltd reported a nearly flat consolidated net profit of ₹4,931 crore for the third quarter of FY26, almost unchanged from the year‑ago period, as higher costs and one‑time charges offset gains.
Revenue from operations rose about 7 % to ₹21,577 crore, supported by growth in cigarettes and FMCG segments. The board declared an interim dividend of ₹6.50 per share with a February record date.
ITC also warned that a new excise duty on cigarettes could fuel illicit trade and harm small businesses and farmers. Shares traded modestly lower around the results.
