With our audited financial results for [FY26 now released](https://www.businesstoday.in/technology/story/mobility-platform-driveu-marks-3-straight-years-of-profit-eyes-rs170-crore-ntv-after-stellar-fy26-563568-2026-10-26), we're incredibly proud of the progress we've made. We continued to grow our business while expanding the range of mobility services we offer to customers across India. Mobility remains at the core of what we do, and throughout the year, we've continued working towards making everyday journeys more convenient, reliable and accessible, in line with our mission. In FY26, we recorded over 1.2 million app installs across Android and iOS, reflecting our growing reach and the trust customers place in DriveU. At the same time, we achieved several important business milestones. For the third consecutive financial year, DriveU remained profitable. Our net profit more than doubled to ₹3.60 crore, reflecting the strength of our business, the trust of our customers and the commitment of our driver-partners. Our Gross Platform Revenue (NTV) reached Rs 131 crore, growing 17% year-on-year, while net revenue increased 14% to Rs 32.87 crore. Profit After Tax (PAT) grew 109% to Rs 3.60 crore, compared to Rs 1.73 crore in FY25. EBITDA rose 58% to Rs 2.74 crore, and operating cash flow increased to Rs 4.03 crore. ![WhatsApp Image 2026-10-26 at 10.52.51 AM.jpeg](https://prod.superblogcdn.com/site_cuid_clmabmzfq6832153upb93yfvlta/images/whatsapp-image-2026-10-26-at-10-1792992441281-compressed.jpeg) These results reflect our focus on building a financially sustainable business while continuing to improve the experience we deliver to our customers. And we've achieved this growth without raising fresh capital since 2024. Behind every financial milestone are the millions of journeys our customers trust us with. In FY26, we completed over 2 million trips, with customers using more than 300 million minutes of driver-partner time, equivalent to over 5 million hours. We also disbursed an average of Rs 9.1 crore every month to its driver-partners, including incentives, reflecting our continued commitment to creating earning opportunities across our network As more customers choose DriveU, we're able to introduce additional services that cater to their evolving needs. Over time, this allows us to grow from an on-demand driver service into a broader mobility platform, offering more options for everyday journeys. While on-demand drivers remain at the heart of DriveU, our ambitions extend beyond a single service. As part of this journey, we've introduced two new mobility offerings: [DriveU Reserve](https://reserve.driveu.in/): A premium, pre-booked chauffeur-driven cab service designed for airport transfers, in-city travel, outstation journeys and intercity travel. With professional chauffeurs and a focus on reliability, Reserve brings the DriveU experience to customers who prefer travelling in a chauffeur-driven car.

Both services were inspired by the evolving needs of our customers and build on the experience and expertise of our driver-partner network. Together, they bring us closer to our vision of creating one platform for however you choose to move. For us, growth is about more than financial milestones. It's about earning the trust of more customers, creating opportunities for our driver-partners and making everyday mobility easier for everyone. FY26 gave us plenty of reasons to celebrate, but more importantly, it gave us a stronger foundation for what's next. Here's to another year of moving forward.
