One 97 Communications Ltd, the parent company of Paytm, has completed an additional investment of Rs 2,250 crore into its wholly owned subsidiary, Paytm Payments Services Ltd (PPSL). The capital infusion was through a subscription to PPSL’s rights issue of equity shares, according to a regulatory filing.
The investment strengthens Paytm’s payments infrastructure at a time when the company continues to expand its offerings across payments, financial services and merchant solutions. Following the disclosure, shares of One 97 Communications Ltd ended the trading session higher by 2.48 per cent, closing at Rs 1,312.20 on the NSE.
Separately, Paytm recently introduced a new in-app privacy feature called ‘Hide Payments’, allowing users to move selected UPI transactions out of their main transaction history. These entries remain securely stored within the app and can only be accessed through PIN or biometric authentication. The company said the feature was developed in response to customer demand for greater discretion, particularly among users who share devices with family members or colleagues, adding that it is currently the only UPI app to offer such functionality.
On the financial front, Paytm reported a net profit of Rs 211 crore for the quarter ended September 2025 (Q2 FY26) before accounting for a one-time charge. After fully impairing a Rs 190 crore loan to its joint venture, First Games Technology Pvt Ltd, the company’s reported profit after tax stood at Rs 21 crore.
Operating revenue for the quarter increased 24 per cent year-on-year to Rs 2,061 crore, driven by growth in subscription-paying merchants, higher payments gross merchandise value and expansion in financial services distribution. EBITDA rose to Rs 142 crore, with margins improving to 7 per cent, supported by operating leverage and steady revenue momentum.
