TIPS Music Ltd., formerly known as Tips Industries Ltd., has kicked off FY26 on a high note, delivering strong growth across revenue, digital performance, and content reach.
TIPS Music Reports 19% Revenue Growth in Q1FY26
For the quarter ending June 30, 2025 (Q1FY26), the company reported a 19% YoY increase in revenue, climbing to ₹88.1 crore from ₹73.9 crore in Q1FY25. Profit After Tax rose 5% to ₹45.7 crore, while operating EBITDA stood at ₹56.5 crore, reflecting a 4% year-on-year increase.
Despite this growth, the EBITDA margin softened to 64.2% (down from 73.6% last year), primarily due to a significant rise in content costs — up 85% to ₹23.5 crore, pointing to TIPS’ aggressive investment in music IP and catalogue expansion.
TIPS Music’s Aggressive Content Strategy Delivers Results
During the quarter, TIPS released a total of 92 new songs, split between 48 film soundtracks and 44 non-film singles. Among these, the Punjabi hit ‘Main Nachdi’ from Saunkan Saunkne 2 emerged as a standout, racking up over 75 million views on YouTube and holding a spot in the platform’s Top 100 chart for 12 straight weeks.
Other notable releases:
- Maalik – 102M views
- Sarbala Ji – 51M views
These high-performing tracks continue to solidify TIPS’ presence in the regional and mainstream music segments.
Digital Footprint Surges
The label’s digital presence remains a cornerstone of its success. TIPS Music’s YouTube channel now boasts 125.8 million subscribers, placing it among the top Indian music labels on the platform.
The company also reported steady growth across Meta platforms and DSPs (Digital Streaming Platforms), further expanding its audience and monetization channels.
Interim Dividend Declared
As part of its Q1 results, the board announced an interim dividend of ₹4 per share, with a total payout of ₹51.13 crore to shareholders — a move that signals confidence in ongoing performance and cash flow.
Tech-Driven Operational Gains
TIPS continues to invest in technology and automation to streamline operations. Its proprietary content delivery system, PULSE, now directly distributes music to platforms like TikTok and DSPs via DDEX feeds, bypassing traditional intermediaries and enhancing speed-to-market.
Leadership Speaks
Chairman and MD Kumar Taurani emphasized that the performance underscores the strength of both their back catalogue and new releases — particularly notable amid broader music industry challenges.
Executive Director Girish Taurani added that the label’s consistent digital growth, particularly across YouTube and social platforms, has been key to its Q1 success.
CEO Hari Nair pointed to the stability of TIPS’ DSP and OTT revenue streams, as well as operational efficiencies now being driven by new tech infrastructure.
The Road Ahead for TIPS Music
TIPS’ Q1FY26 performance highlights its strategic focus on:
- Expanding high-performing catalogues
- Strengthening its digital ecosystem
- Leveraging tech to enhance distribution and royalty management
As India’s digital consumption continues to grow, TIPS appears well-positioned to capture further market share — especially with a clear focus on regional content, independent music, and global platform integration.
