Finolex Cables delivered a robust Q1 FY27. Revenue surged 44% YoY to Rs. 2,013 Cr, thanks to higher copper prices and strong volumes.

Profit After Tax (PAT) jumped 59% YoY to Rs. 221 Cr, with EBITDA margins expanding impressively by 90% YoY, reflecting operational efficiencies. **Growth Drivers & Strategy:** Key strategies include expanding power cable presence in utility projects and leveraging E-Beam technology for differentiated products in high-growth segments like solar and auto.

In communication cables, backward integration with preform manufacturing is a strategic move, making Finolex the second Indian producer.

They're also scaling fiber draw capacity to 8 mn km and see a major tailwind from fiber price recovery and global shortages, driven by defense, data centers, and BharatNet. **Recent Developments:** The preform plant is operational, reducing import dependency.

New FMEG products like fans and water heaters are expected within six months. **Management Outlook:** Management remains focused on sustaining growth through operational excellence and market expansion, supported by a net-zero debt balance sheet.

They aim to extend retail reach, especially in Tier 2 & 3 cities.
