Cash Ur Drive Marketing Limited, one of India's rapidly expanding sustainable transit media companies, reported a strong financial performance for the second half and full year of FY26, supported by business expansion, margin improvement, and strategic investments in the urban mobility and EV infrastructure sectors.

The company posted significant growth across key financial parameters during H2 FY26. Revenue from operations increased 43.72 per cent year-on-year to Rs 108.79 crore compared to Rs 75.70 crore in H2 FY25. EBITDA surged 86.06 per cent to Rs 20.02 crore from Rs 10.76 crore in the corresponding period last year.

EBITDA margin improved by 420 basis points to 18.41 per cent in H2 FY26 from 14.21 per cent a year earlier, reflecting better operational efficiencies and scale benefits. Net profit nearly doubled, rising 94.50 per cent to Rs 18.52 crore from Rs 9.52 crore in H2 FY25. Net profit margin expanded by 408 basis points to 16.33 per cent, while diluted earnings per share increased 75.36 per cent to Rs 13.38 from Rs 7.63.

For the full FY26, revenue from operations grew 33.98 per cent year-on-year to Rs 186.67 crore compared to Rs 139.32 crore in FY25. EBITDA climbed 59.20 per cent to Rs 33.56 crore, while net profit rose 64.98 per cent to Rs 29.40 crore.

The company's EBITDA margin improved to 17.98 per cent in FY26 from 15.13 per cent in FY25, while net profit margin increased to 15.28 per cent from 12.52 per cent. Diluted EPS for the year stood at Rs 21.24, registering growth of 48.74 per cent over the previous year.

According to Raghu Khanna, Managing Director and Chairman of Cash Ur Drive Marketing Limited, FY26 was a transformational year for the company, marked by strong financial growth, strategic expansion initiatives, and successful execution of its long-term growth strategy. He highlighted that increasing demand for transit and outdoor advertising, coupled with operational discipline, enabled the company to deliver robust growth in revenue, profitability, and margins.

A major milestone during the year was the company's successful listing on the NSE Emerge platform in August 2025, which enhanced its market visibility and strengthened its platform for future expansion.

Cash Ur Drive also diversified beyond its traditional transit media business through a series of strategic investments and partnerships. The company acquired an approximately 19.06 per cent stake in Kolkata Call Taxi Private Limited, strengthening its presence in the urban mobility ecosystem.

In another significant move, the company entered the EV charging infrastructure segment through the acquisition of a 50 per cent stake in Charj Karo Greentech Mobility Private Limited. The investment provides access to a growing EV charging network while also creating advertising opportunities linked to the charging infrastructure.

Further expanding its EV footprint, Cash Ur Drive secured a 10-year Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Maintain (DBFOM) concession from Nagar Nigam Rishikesh for the development and operation of 10 EV charging stations. The project is expected to generate long-term, asset-linked revenue streams while providing integrated advertising opportunities.

Management remains optimistic about growth prospects in FY27, citing rising urbanisation, increasing EV adoption, growing demand for innovative advertising solutions, and an expanding portfolio of media rights and infrastructure assets. The company believes these factors provide significant opportunities for sustained growth and long-term value creation.

Founded in 2009, Cash Ur Drive Marketing Limited has emerged as a leading player in India's out-of-home and transit media industry. The company focuses on sustainable and technology-driven advertising solutions across transit, digital, outdoor, and green media platforms. Its growing portfolio of exclusive media rights and expansion into EV charging station advertising has strengthened its position in the evolving media landscape.

For FY26, the company reported total income of Rs 192.38 crore, EBITDA of Rs 39.29 crore, and net profit of Rs 29.40 crore.
