Finolex Cables Limited has released the transcript of their Analysts/Investors Meet held on August 13, 2026, at 4:00 PM IST, to discuss the financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
The call featured insights from Mr. Mahesh Viswanathan, CEO, and Mr. Sachin Naik, CFO. The company reported strong performance with revenue from operations at ₹2,013 crores, a 44% increase from ₹1,396 crores in Q1 FY26. Profit Before Tax (PBT) grew by 62% to ₹277 crores from ₹171 crores, and Profit After Tax (PAT) increased by 59% to ₹221 crores from ₹139 crores year-on-year.
Key business segments showed robust growth. Electrical cables revenue increased by 47% to ₹1,767 crores, driven by strong performance in automotive, battery, flexible, solar, and agricultural cables. Communication cables also delivered a strong performance with revenue of ₹176 crores, a 62% increase from ₹109 crores, with margins near 30%. However, Copper Rods reported significantly lower revenue of ₹8 crores compared to ₹403 crores in the previous year due to a shutdown of the plant owing to restricted LPG availability.
Management discussed expansion plans, including increasing draw tower capacity to 8 million kilometers by September 2026 and expanding cabling capacity to 10 million. The company is also investing in R&D and Capex for data center cables, aiming to meet future demand from hyperscalers.
Discussions also touched upon the volatility in raw material prices, particularly for fiber and copper, and their impact on margins. The company indicated that while current high margins in communication cables are partly due to existing raw material inventory, they expect margins to normalize to double digits as new inventory is consumed. The FMEG segment's target of ₹500 crores by FY28 remains, despite current challenges.
