D-Link sees revenue growth amid boardroom change
MUMBAI: D-Link (India) Limited isn’t just keeping the world connected; it’s currently rewiring its own leadership circuits. While the company’s latest financial results show a high-speed data stream of rising revenues, the boardroom is dealing with a significant disconnection.
In a move that’s more about personal bandwidth than technical glitches, Ching Chun Yang has officially opted to unplug from her role as an independent director. Effective 5th February 2026, Yang submitted her resignation, citing a need to focus on increasing personal priorities and other professional commitments.
The company confirmed there are no material reasons behind her exit other than her desire to explore new horizons. Consequent to this move, she also ceases to be a member of any Board Committees.
Despite the boardroom shuffle, the financial signals remain strong. For the quarter ended 31st December 2025, D-Link’s standalone operations reported a revenue from operations of Rs 39,358.84 lakhs, a healthy jump from the Rs 32,972.84 lakhs recorded in the same period last year.
The broader group picture is equally vibrant:
. Total income (Consolidated): Clocked in at Rs 39,885.41 lakhs for the quarter.
. Profit for the period (Consolidated): The group netted a profit of Rs 2,669.36 lakhs.
. Earnings per share (EPS): The basic EPS stood at Rs 7.52 for the quarter on a consolidated basis.
Investors already received a bit of a cache boost earlier this year; the Board previously declared an interim dividend of Rs 6/- per equity share (300 per cent), which was paid out in November 2025.
It’s not all smooth sailing, however. D-Link is currently dealing with a Rs 611.49 lakh demand order from the Commissioner of Customs (Adjudication). The dispute involves royalty payments to its Taiwanese parent company, and while D-Link has already made a voluntary payment of Rs 100 lakhs, it is evaluating an appeal to the Cestat.
Furthermore, the implementation of the New Labour Codes on 21st November 2025 has led the company to recognise incremental estimated obligations of Rs 192.41 lakhs (standalone) for gratuity and leave encashment.
Despite the boardroom change and ongoing regulatory matters, D-Link’s strong financial performance signals resilience and steady growth. With revenues on the rise and strategic initiatives continuing, the company appears well-positioned to navigate challenges while maintaining its focus on connecting India and beyond.
