The company's revenue from operations surged 83% to ₹8,986 crore in Q1 FY2026, as reported by The Economic Times, compared to ₹4,901 crore in the same period last year. This significant revenue growth was fueled by improved execution of the expanding order backlog and contribution from the recently acquired Brazilian business. The substantial increase reflects strong market demand and effective business execution during the quarter. As per The Economic Times, CEO Sanjeev Verma highlighted that the company delivered its highest-ever quarterly revenue of ₹1,719 crore, driven by improved execution of the expanding backlog and contribution from the recently acquired Brazilian business.

The company achieved an all-time high order backlog of US$949 million (~₹8,986 crore), representing an 83% increase compared to the previous year. This substantial growth was driven by new orders worth approximately US$339 million (~₹3,208 crore) secured during the quarter. The backlog reflects a step-change in scale and quality of business, with increasing participation in large, multi-year, and mission-critical programs providing 24-36 months of revenue visibility. The company secured a US$131 million engagement with a U.S.-based global hyperscaler during the quarter, while continuing to expand its relationship with an existing hyperscaler. Black Box's order momentum is expected to strengthen through FY27, with the firm expecting $1.3–1.5 billion of order bookings, representing growth of approximately 32–45% over FY26, and expecting to exit FY27 with an order backlog of $1.3–1.4 billion, an increase of approximately 65–75% YoY.
