solutions, achieved a healthy growth of 10.7% in revenue in FY26 despite multiple economic
headwinds. The business reported an EBITDA of C 311.6 crores at a margin of 5.7% for FY26,
up from C 274.9 crores at an EBITDA margin of 5.6% in FY25.
Despite a challenging business environment, FY26 has been a landmark year as the annual
revenue crossed C 15,981.5 crores. All the business segments reported healthy revenue
growth of 21.2% during the year with an EBITDA margin of 4.5%. The Security Solutions -
International segment was ahead of the pack with 24.1% revenue growth. Security Solutions

(11.0%).
Security Solutions - India
The Group provides security solutions in India through its parent company and its
subsidiaries, SLV Security Services Pvt. Ltd. (now branded as SISCO), Uniq Security
Solutions Pvt. Ltd. (now branded as SISCO), Tech SIS Ltd., SIS Alarm Monitoring and
Response Services Pvt. Ltd. and our recently concluded acquisition of 51% of AP Securitas
Pvt. Ltd. This was our first and largest ever domestic acquisition, after a gap of almost
5 years.
SIS continues to be the largest security service company in India. The superior service
provided to its clients has reinforced this leadership position.
The Security Solutions - India segment recorded its highest ever annual revenue at C
6,826.8 crores, a growth of 22.4% over FY25 revenue primarily due to several significant
wins in segments such as manufacturing, education, retail, ecommerce, construction and
media & entertainment.
There were significant minimum wage revisions in some states like Haryana (~35.0%
increase), and Uttar Pradesh (~18.0% increase). New order wins and minimum wage revisions
had a positive impact on both our revenue and EBITDA. As a result, FY26 EBITDA margins for
the segment stood at 5.1 % at C 351.1 crores.
FY26 results illustrate the predictability and robustness of our business model, which
continues to grow. We continue to invest in in-house technology and derive significant
operational improvements by leveraging technology-based solutions leading to an
improvement in productivity which also contributed to stable operating margins for FY26.
In FY26, we witnessed reasonable organic growth in the Security Solutions - India
business indicating the strength of the SIS sales engine which continues to leverage and
capitalize on the growth of the economy in India.
The number of employees employed by the business segment in India as on March 31, 2026
was 2,49,286.
We continue to focus and invest in our capabilities in electronic security services in
which we operate two businesses.

for FY26. We continue to sell and provide technology-based security solutions to our
customers to complement manpower deployment and providing customized solutions.
Our electronic security business segment won significant orders from leading PSUs and
private banks, leading to an increase in solutions sales revenue. In the evolving security
landscape, customers have been demanding ManTech solutions wherein security guards are
coupled with and supported by technological solutions to provide a superior and more
efficient outcome for the clients.
Some of the noticeable solutions this year included the use of AI and IoT based PTZ
Cameras, Automated Vehicle Tracking and Wireless Networking Integration for providing
security solutions for solar farms.
2. Alarm Monitoring and Response: We provide an advanced level of security by
seamlessly integrating an AI-enabled monitoring platform with trained response officers to
individual homes, small business establishments, retail chains, bank branches, ATMs,
offices, and commercial establishments, and operate this business under the VProtect
brand. During FY26, we continued to expand our presence in the B2B space and won contracts
in the BFSI segment.
VProtect also operates in the B2C segment and enhanced its B2C presence by entering
newer cities, including Bengaluru, Mumbai and Lucknow.
We have clearly established our capability of providing monitoring and response
services to customer locations and sites pan-India and the number of sites secured by us,
reached over 25,000+ connections as of March 2026. We are confident of strengthening our
presence further in this space with the BFSI and Logistics sector constantly looking at

players like SIS and our integrated business service solutions offering One SIS. The use
of technology in service delivery is increasing with increasing interest from customers in
more mechanized and advanced facility management solutions.

Outlook
Despite heightened global geopolitical uncertainty stemming from multiple wars in the
Middle East (Israel-Iran war), the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the consequent
West Asia energy crisis, India is projected to remain the fastest-growing major economy in
the world with real GDP growth of 6.5% - 6.9% in FY2026-27 (IMF, ADB). This outlook
reflects the reduction in additional US tariffs on Indian goods from 50% to 10%, which
improves the export outlook and more than offsets the adverse impact of the Middle East
conflict, alongside resilient domestic private consumption particularly rural,
boosted by the GST rate cuts (ADB Outlook, Apr. '26), and the economy's relatively limited
dependence on global demand.
India's GDP growth is supported by rising real incomes, and easing monetary conditions,
alongside sustained public investment in infrastructure and a strong services sector.
Momentum is expected to strengthen further to 7.3% in FY2027-28, aided by an expected
once-in-a-decade revision to government salaries and pensions gains from recent trade
agreements, including with the European Union.
Growth supported by more favorable monetary and fiscal policies will boost consumer
confidence. GST relief measures in H2-2025 positively impacted the manufacturing PMI.
Indian exports held up well through mid-2025, helped by tariff-exempt categories like
smartphones and pharmaceuticals, and by shipments brought forward ahead of the tariff
changes. An array of recent measures is incentivizing growth, such as enhanced labour
market flexibility through a revamp of the labour laws, simplification of GST, relaxation
of import restrictions for selected products, and credit relief and support to exporters
affected by US tariffs.
However, geopolitical tensions, escalation of the West Asia energy crisis, renewed
tariff tensions and trade policy uncertainty, higher financial market volatility and
elevated near-term inflation from food and energy prices are key risks to India's economic
outlook.
Overall economic growth of the country directly fuels demand for Security and Facility
Management ("FM") Solutions.
Economic growth boosts demand for security services leading to volume growth for SIS.
The security services industry's formalization augments market share for organized players
like SIS. Rising labour costs are accelerating the shift toward technology-led security.
At the same time, rapid urbanization, smart city projects, and large infrastructure
developments are increasingly adopting e-security solutions, driving growth in the
electronic security market. Together, these trends position the Company well to serve
customers with integrated ManTech security solutions.
Similarly, in the FM vertical, significant growth in the real estate sector on account
of shifting preferences towards a safe, clean, and secure environment represents one of
the primary factors bolstering the market growth in India. The India Facility Management
Market size is estimated at ~US$ 87 Billion in 2026, and is expected to reach ~US$ 124
Billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.29% during the forecast period (2026-2031).
With the growing popularity of e-commerce / quick commerce platforms, the growth of
GCCs in India, the overall need for infrastructure and organized spaces is increasing,
which is also influencing the FM services market positively. Furthermore, India is
creating world-class facilities with a boom in urban infrastructure projects across the
country which are anticipated to augment the demand for FM services to maintain safety,
health, and productivity.
The security solutions industry is evolving. The announcement of the change in labour
laws represents a significant structural shift for the security solutions industry. It is
expected that they are likely to have a positive impact on the sector over the
medium-to-long term. Although in the short term, labour costs could rise. The new regime,
coupled with the periodic minimum wage increases across states; human resource costs are
increasing Pan-India. This coupled with rapid urbanization, smart city projects and large
infrastructure developments are increasingly adopting e-security solutions driving the
growth of the electronic security market. This positions the Company in a favorable
position to be able to cater to customer requirements with integrated man-tech security
solutions.
The Company is committed to robust organic growth, while selectively pursuing inorganic
opportunities to accelerate market expansion and capabilities. We continue to evaluate
acquisition opportunities with niche capabilities and customer segments which can further
augment our service offerings or presence in specific service segments especially in the
India businesses. Continued investments in technology to improve internal processes and
systems, increasing efficiency and productivity and driving synergies across business
divisions / entities will enable us to achieve cost savings and superior profitability.
