TIPS Music Reports 31% PAT Growth In FY25, Driven By YouTube And Viral Catalogue Hits

TIPS Music Ltd (formerly Tips Industries Ltd.), one of India’s most prominent music labels, has announced a robust financial performance for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2025. With strong double-digit growth across key metrics, the company has cemented its position as a leader in India’s thriving music and content economy.

For the full financial year FY25, TIPS Music reported revenue from operations of ?310.7 crore, a remarkable 29% increase year-on-year. Operating EBITDA stood at ?206.7 crore, up 30%, while Profit After Tax (PAT) surged 31% to ?166.6 crore. The company also demonstrated continued strength in Q4 FY25, with revenue rising 24% year-on-year to ?78.5 crore.

Chairman and Managing Director Kumar Taurani reflected on the year’s performance with pride, stating, “We achieved a revenue of ?311 crore, representing a 29% increase y-o-y. Profit After Tax stood at ?167 crore, reflecting 31% growth. What’s more satisfying is our ability to reward our shareholders—we distributed ?136 crore through buybacks and dividends in FY25. That’s a true mark of progress and commitment.”

The company’s digital dominance continues to grow, driven by a deep content catalogue and successful new releases. In Q4 alone, TIPS released 105 songs—37 from films and 68 non-film tracks—underscoring its hybrid strategy that champions both cinematic and independent music. Their YouTube subscriber base surged to 117.1 million, while quarterly views climbed to 56.7 billion, up 19% from the previous year.

Executive Director Girish Taurani highlighted the digital engagement wave powering the brand’s momentum. “Two songs from the film ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ crossed 50 million views each on YouTube. Meanwhile, a 2006 release, ‘Taaron Ko Mohabbat Amber Se’, went viral on Instagram, generating over 9 million reels and 2 billion views in Q4 alone. These instances prove the timeless appeal of our catalogue.”

Older hits from the label’s legacy catalogue continued to find new audiences. “Badal Gayi Duniya” from the 1995 film Andolan surpassed 100 million views on YouTube during FY25, exemplifying the long tail value of curated music IP in today’s digital-first world.

Chief Executive Officer Hari Nair added, “Our growth story is playing out across both digital and traditional segments. In Q4, we renewed and expanded our deal with Sony Music Publishing, now including YouTube for international publishing rights. With a strong content slate and increased platform reach, we’re building for sustainable, cross-platform growth.”

With its rich legacy, strategic focus on content creation and monetization, and a digital-first outlook, TIPS Music is well-poised to scale new heights in FY26. As India’s music industry continues to globalize, the company’s performance reflects not only savvy execution but a deep understanding of how legacy and innovation can coexist in the new creator economy.
