Indus Towers has incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary by the name 'Indus Towers Global Ventures IFSC' in Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City), Gujarat, India as per the Certificate of Incorporation issued on 28 April 2026.

The company said the board will meet to consider and approve its audited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended 31 March 2026. However, the announcement did not include any proposal for dividend or share buyback, which weighed on investor sentiment. The company has not declared a dividend for the past three years. Its last dividend was an interim payout of Rs 11 per share in May 2022. It also has not announced any buyback since August 2024, when it repurchased shares worth Rs 2,640 crore at Rs 465 per share through a tender offer. Investor caution has also been influenced by a recent downgrade by a foreign brokerage, which assigned an 'Underperform' rating with a target price of Rs 375. The brokerage cited risks from a large wave of tower contract renewals over H2CY26 and H1CY27, potential pricing pressure, and elevated capital expenditure. It also flagged slower industry growth and reduced tower additions, which could intensify competition and weaken bargaining power during contract renewals. The brokerage expects modest earnings growth, weaker cash flows and lower dividend payouts, limiting upside potential for the stock.
