IndiaMART InterMESH Ltd. (NSE: IndiaMART) reported its financial results for the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2026 (Q2 FY26), highlighting a mixed performance characterized by robust revenue growth offset by a significant decline in profitability and margin contraction. Financial Highlights: Revenue Growth: Revenue from operations demonstrated a healthy rise of 12.5% year-over-year (YoY), reaching ₹391 crore, up from ₹347.7 crore in Q2 FY25.
