Consolidated revenue came in at Rs 4,174 crore for Q2 FY22, registering a growth of 1.7% QoQ and a decline of 5.2% year on year. Sequential growth is on account of gradual recovery across both data and voice segments, the company said in a press release.

Commenting on the second quarter performance, A.S Lakshminarayanan, MD and CEO of Tata Communications said, Delivering a sequential growth on a quarter-on-quarter basis after three quarters of decline is a positive indicator which we will continue to build on. The second quarter of FY22 was marked by recovery with favorable underlying trends as economic activities normalise. As the global industries recover, we continue to maintain sharp focus on the needs of our customers, in line with the rapidly changing trends and evolving digital needs.
