Apar Industries subsidiary enters dark fiber monetisation business with KPTCL for 15 years
Apar Industries' subsidiary ATDPPL secured a 15-year contract with KPTCL to monetise ~6,100 kms of OPGW dark fiber network, expanding into a new, recurring revenue business with no capex.
This strategic diversification into a high-demand sector with a substantial long-term contract and recurring revenue potential, despite the annual rental payment, is expected to have a medium positive impact on the company's financial performance and market position.
The company's subsidiary entering a new line of business with a long-term (15-year) contract, promising recurring revenue streams without upfront capital expenditure, is a significant positive development for future growth and profitability.
