Mumbai News, 01 March 2026: Tata Teleservices (Maharashtra) Limited (NSE: TTML) shares are currently under pressure. On Friday, 27 February 2026, the share closed at ₹41.59 on the NSE, down 0.72% from the previous day. This week, the share traded between ₹41.14 and ₹41.99. A similar trend was seen on the BSE, where the closing price was around ₹41.66.
In the past year, TTML shares have given investors a negative return. The 52-week high was ₹81.12 in June 2025, while the low was ₹41.07 in January 2026. The share price has dropped by around 34% in a year. Even in six months, a fall of about 27-28% has been recorded. This means that investors have had to bear significant losses in TTML over the past period.
Total return for investors
TTML shares have given mixed returns over the past few years. Over a five-year period, the share gave about 164% return, benefiting long-term investors. However, over three years there is a negative return ranging from -22% to -27%. In one year, there has been a loss of around -34%. No dividends have been declared by the company, so the total return depends solely on capital gains/losses. Due to the current decline, short-term investors have faced big losses, while long-term holders benefited from previous gains.
The company’s debt situation
TTML’s financial situation is still worrying. The company has a total debt of around ₹20,500 crore (₹205 billion), while shareholders’ equity is negative at about -₹19,740 crore. This means the Debt-to-Equity ratio is -103.8%, indicating extremely high risk. The company recently restructured its debt, extending the repayment period from 18 years to 25 years and reducing the annual interest burden by ₹6.04 crore. However, the interest coverage ratio is only 0.3x, meaning the company is unable to pay interest from its earnings. In the recently released Q3 FY26 results, the company reported a loss, and total liabilities exceed ₹20,980 crore. Cash on hand is only ₹73.1 crore.

In summary, TTML shares are currently near their 52-week low and it will take time for the company to improve its debt situation.
