In the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2025 (Q4FY25), MTNL reported a total income of ₹353.54 crores. This represents a quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) increase of 4.2% from the previous quarter (Q3FY25) where the total income was ₹339.40 crores. However, compared to the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year (Q4FY24), there was a year-over-year (YoY) decline of 15.5% from ₹418.15 crores. This change reflects variations in revenue generation over both the short term and the long term, which could be attributed to several factors including market conditions, pricing strategies, and competition within the telecom industry.

Operating Metrics
The company's operating metrics indicate a focus on managing expenses amid declining revenues.

This reflects an ongoing effort to control costs, which is crucial given the revenue challenges. The tax component was negligible, with a slight negative tax of ₹-0.19 crores in Q4FY25, compared to no tax recorded in Q3FY25 and a tax credit of ₹-0.50 crores in Q4FY24.
