HFCL Limited has released the transcript of its conference call held on July 22, 2026, discussing the un-audited financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026. The company reported its highest ever quarterly revenue, profitability, and order book.
During the call, the management announced a significant upward revision of the revenue growth aspiration for FY27 to 40% and above, from the earlier projection of 20%. This confidence stems from strong order inflows, favorable industry dynamics, expanding global opportunities, and improved execution capabilities. The company achieved an EBITDA margin of over 23.25% in Q1 FY27, exceeding its target of 20% for the fiscal year. This structural improvement is attributed to a higher contribution from technology-led products, increasing exports, an improved product mix, and operating leverage.
The order book has strengthened to approximately ₹26,665 crore, which is an all-time high and five times the FY26 revenue, providing robust revenue visibility. The company highlighted the growing demand for optical fiber infrastructure driven by Artificial Intelligence, hyperscale data centers, and cloud computing. To capitalize on this, HFCL is expanding its optical fiber capacity to 34 million fiber kilometers by December 2026 and its optical fiber cable capacity to 43 million fiber kilometers. An investment of ₹215 crore has also been approved for expanding the manufacturing base for advanced data center connectivity products.
In the Defence & Aerospace sector, HFCL is on track to achieve its target of approximately ₹500 crore revenue in FY27. The company anticipates this business could potentially scale to be comparable to HFCL's current overall business in the coming years. A groundbreaking ceremony for an Ammunition Manufacturing Complex in Andhra Pradesh was held on May 15, 2026. The company is also evaluating strategic alternatives to simplify its group structure and enhance operational efficiency, appointing Ernst & Young as a strategic advisor.
Consolidated financial highlights for Q1 FY27 include revenue of ₹1914.98 crore (up from ₹871.02 crore in Q1 FY26), EBITDA of ₹445.27 crore (a more than tenfold jump from ₹42.93 crore in Q1 FY26), and Profit After Tax of ₹245.64 crore (compared to a loss of ₹(29.30) crore in Q1 FY26). Segment revenue from telecom products stood at 85% of total revenue, with export revenue at ₹1063 crore.
