Bodhi Tree Multimedia has reported a strong financial performance for FY26, driven by an expanding content slate, higher project throughput, and strategic investments aimed at building an IP-led content ecosystem.
The company recorded a 31.96% year-on-year increase in consolidated total income, which rose to Rs 118.45 crore in FY26 from Rs 89.76 crore in FY25. Profitability improved significantly, with EBITDA surging 76.47% to Rs 17.10 crore, compared to Rs 9.69 crore in the previous fiscal. The company’s EBITDA margin expanded to 14.44%, up from 10.80% a year ago.
Meanwhile, profit after tax (PAT) climbed 61.59% year-on-year to Rs 7.95 crore, while PAT margin improved to 6.71% from 5.48% in FY25.
The company attributed the performance to increased operational scale, a broader content pipeline, and higher execution across multiple content formats and distribution platforms.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, Bodhi Tree Multimedia produced approximately 200 hours of original content spanning television, OTT and digital platforms. The company also delivered five key titles for major broadcasters and streaming platforms, including JioStar, Zee, Dangal and Shemaroo.
Beyond production, the company continued to strengthen its long-term content ownership strategy through strategic investments. It acquired a 20% stake in Lehren Networks, gaining access to one of India’s largest vintage film-content libraries while enhancing its digital monetisation capabilities through YouTube CMS operations.
In a separate move, Bodhi Tree completed the acquisition of a 50.01% stake in Moving Image Studios, a step aimed at bolstering its presence in unscripted content production and accelerating in-house intellectual property creation.
With a catalogue of over 5,000 hours of programming across more than 100 shows, Bodhi Tree Multimedia said it is steadily transitioning from a commissioned-production model towards an IP-driven, multi-platform content business focused on ownership, monetisation and scalable franchises.
The company’s FY26 performance underscores this strategic shift, as it seeks to diversify revenue streams across television, OTT, digital and FAST platforms while building a stronger portfolio of proprietary content assets.
Commenting on the results, Mautik Tolia, Managing Director & CEO, said: “FY26 has been a year of strong forward movement for Bodhi Tree as we continue to shape a more scalable and future ready content business. Our consolidated income grew 32% to Rs 118.45 crore, PAT rose 62% to Rs 7.95 crore, and EBITDA margins expanded meaningfully; reflecting the operating leverage we are beginning to build as we scale.
India’s M&E market is on a strong growth trajectory, projected to reach ~USD 38Bn by 2028. With over 975 million OTT viewers and regional content driving more than half of paid viewership, the demand environment for quality Indian IP has never been stronger; and that is precisely the space we are building into. Our focus remains on disciplined IP-led content creation — developing stories that are designed to travel across formats, platforms and markets.
We remain mindful that an IP-led approach comes with longer monetisation cycles and requires continued investment. However, it also enables us to participate more meaningfully in the full lifecycle of content and build a portfolio of assets that compound in value over time. Our investments in technology and AI-led initiatives are strengthening this model — improving decision-making, accelerating turnarounds and making us more deliberate about the stories we choose to build and own. The acquisitions of Lehren Networks and Moving Image Studios further solidify this foundation, and FY26 gives us confidence we are on the right path.”
