Sterlite Technologies Limited (STL) has announced its ambitious growth plan, 'Lakshya', targeting a revenue of ₹20,000 crore by FY29, a significant increase from ₹4,750 crore in FY26. This represents a growth of over 4x in three years. The company also aims to achieve an EBITDA margin of over 27% by FY29, a substantial improvement from 13.2% in FY26.

STL plans to invest approximately ₹1,000 crore annually over the next three financial years to expand its preform, fiber, and cable capacities by 50%.
