Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) expenditure by companies listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India reached ₹22,212 crore in the fiscal year 2024-25, marking a 23% increase from ₹18,011 crore in the previous year. This rise is attributed to a 22% increase in average net profits over the last three years, as reported by PRIME Database Group. According to regulations established in April 2014, eligible firms must allocate 2% of their average net profit to CSR activities. As of March 31, 2025, 2,142 companies were listed on the NSE main board, with 2,066 disclosing CSR data. Of these, 1,549 companies were required to spend on CSR, reflecting an increase from 1,399 the previous year. While the mandated CSR outlay was ₹22,732 crore, actual spending was slightly lower due to ₹3,223 crore being transferred to Unspent CSR Accounts for future use. Notably, 934 companies (70%) increased their CSR spending year-on-year, with 751 (48%) exceeding the minimum requirement. The top contributors included Reliance Industries, which spent over ₹1,300 crore, followed by HDFC Bank and Tata Consultancy Services. Education received the largest share of CSR funding, while sectors like disaster management saw reduced allocations.
