PhonePe reported an 11% increase in revenue for fiscal year 2026, reaching ₹7,920 crore. However, the company's net loss widened by 62% to ₹2,792 crore, compared to ₹1,727 crore in the previous fiscal year, according to the company's financial statements released on July 25, 2026.
Key Details
The revenue growth was affected by several factors, including the suspension of rent payments and the government's ban on real money games, which impacted overall earnings. Additionally, the absence of government subsidies for Unified Payments Interface (UPI) services last year contributed to the slower revenue growth, as reported by PhonePe.
On a normalized operational basis, PhonePe's net loss for FY26 stood at ₹1,377 crore. The company stated that it has successfully secured regulatory licenses to operate across a wide range of financial services, which may help bolster its revenue streams in the future.
