India CSR Leaders 2026: Top 25 Companies by CSR Spend & Focus Areas

This report compiles a ranked listing of the 25 highest-spending corporate CSR contributors in India, based on Financial Year 2024-25 expenditure figures, alongside projected CSR budget ranges for FY26-27. Companies covered span sectors including banking and financial services, energy, IT and technology, FMCG, infrastructure, and manufacturing, among them HDFC Bank, Reliance Foundation, TCS, ONGC, Tata Steel, Infosys, and ITC, ranked in descending order of reported CSR spend. For each company, the document provides the FY24-25 CSR spend (in ₹ Crore), a projected spend range for FY26-27, the organisation's stated thematic focus areas (such as rural development, skilling, health, education, water, digital inclusion, and environment), and a CSR department contact email address. The report's purpose is to serve as a quick-reference directory for organisations seeking to identify, prioritise, and approach corporate CSR partners aligned with their programme themes. It enables NGOs and consultants to shortlist prospective funders based on spend capacity and sectoral focus, and to initiate direct outreach using the listed contact points. Practical applications include partnership prospecting, CSR proposal targeting, and benchmarking an NGO's thematic areas against corporate CSR priorities. Users are advised to independently verify current spend figures, contact details, and focus areas directly with each company, as CSR budgets and priorities are subject to annual change and formal disclosure through statutory filings.
