Usha Martin Limited has reported a strong start to FY27 with consolidated revenue increasing by 16% year-on-year to ₹1,033 crore for the first quarter. Operating EBITDA saw a significant jump of 44% year-on-year, reaching ₹208 crore, with EBITDA margins expanding to 20.1%. This growth was driven by improved realizations and a strategic shift towards specialized products across its wire rope and wire businesses.
The wire rope segment experienced 18% value growth, with domestic volumes up 12% and value up 21%. While Middle East volumes declined due to geopolitical disruptions, improved pricing and a favorable product mix helped maintain revenues. The wires business delivered robust growth with volumes up 19% and revenue up 32%, driven by domestic demand and growing exports, particularly for plasticated LRPC and wire products used in automotive and rockfall protection.
Oceanfibre, a newer segment, continues to build momentum, contributing to revenue with a pipeline of opportunities in offshore and heavy lifting applications. The company highlighted its focus on high-value products, investment in R&D and manufacturing capabilities, and effective cost management to protect profitability amidst rising input costs for wire rod and zinc. Operating cash flow was strong at ₹242 crore, leading to a net cash position of ₹465 crore. Capital expenditure for FY27 is projected to be ₹250 crore to ₹300 crore, focusing on expanding specialized wire rope capacity, including elevator rope capacity by 6,000 metric tons per annum, expected to be commissioned in phases starting October.
Looking ahead, the company aims for value-led volume growth in wire ropes, scaling newer verticals, and strengthening global operations. Despite dynamic external environments, demand in key applications remains healthy, and the company is confident in delivering consistent and profitable growth.
