Industry overview

The Indian electrical wires and cables, power conductors, and signal cables industry has witnessed significant growth in recent years, driven by increasing demand from various sectors such as infrastructure, construction, and telecommunications. As the country continues to urbanize and industrialize, the need for reliable and efficient electrical infrastructure has become paramount. This section provides an assessment of the Indian electrical wires and cables, power conductors, and signal cables industry.

In FY25, cables and wire market were valued at around Rs 1,408 billion, up from Rs 787 billion in FY20, registering a CAGR of 12.3%. This notable surge can be primarily attributed to a remarkable growth of High Voltage (HV) & Extra-High Voltage (EHV)- Above 33 KV cables and Elastomeric Cables also known as rubber cables, are a type of electrical cable that uses an elastomer (a flexible, rubber-like material) for insulation and/or sheathing, which have registered exponential growth on the back of increased expansion of transmission lines and electrification initiatives in rural areas. Other cable categories contributing substantially to the accelerated market growth include PVC Control Cables & Instrumentation, building wires, and switchboard cables, driven by pickup in construction activities in both commercial and residential sectors post COVID-19.

The exports of wire and cables grew to around Rs 145 billion in FY25, marking a substantial increase from Rs 49 billion in FY20 and registering a CAGR of 24.4%. This growth can be principally attributed to heightened international demand stemming investments in transmission projects by organizations like International Development Association (IDA) and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD). Some of the key export partners for wires and cables in FY25 include Saudi Arabia, USA, UAE, UK, Australia, etc. Export destinations for wires and cables among African countries was led by Nigeria, South Africa, Liberia, Tanzania, Kenya etc.

Pros and strengths 

Established track record with marquee customer base: The company has a diverse customer base comprising power utilities and government authorities such as Indian Railways, various DISCOMS including TP Central Odisha Distribution, TP Western Odisha Distribution, TP Northern Odisha Distribution, TP Southern Odisha Distribution, among others and private sector players, international clients which include government owned and controlled electricity companies, public enterprises and electricity boards. It supplies its products to various governmental agencies, based on a pre-qualification process and grant of approval by these governmental agencies. Pre-qualification requirements include past experience in supply to such entities, ability to meet specific technical requirements, financial strength and the price competitiveness of its product offerings.

Strategic partnerships and collaboration with international players: Its key strength is its ability to form strategic alliances with leading global innovators to enhance its technological capabilities and market responsiveness. It has entered into a strategic manufacturing agreement with TS Conductor Corp, a U.S.-based company renowned for its transmission technology, to become qualified to manufacture conductors using composite core technologies. Through this partnership, it has expanded its manufacturing portfolio to include a broad range of advanced conductors such as AECC, HTLS conductors, ECO conductors, AL-59 AAC, and ACSS.

Robust execution capabilities, with a track record of executing and handling complex EPC projects successfully: With its experience of more than a decade in the EPC industry, particularly in the rural electrification for power projects and installation of substations, it has developed an established track record of efficient project management and execution experience, involving trained and skilled manpower, efficient deployment of equipment and an in-house integrated model. Its integrated approach involving manufacturing, logistics, in-house engineering, and on-ground execution has enabled it to deliver complex turnkey assignments across India in a timely and cost-effective manner.

Strong manufacturing capabilities: The company has developed strong in-house manufacturing capabilities supported by strategically located, production facilities that enable it to manufacture a diversified portfolio of products efficiently and at scale. Its manufacturing infrastructure serves as a key differentiator in terms of integration, automation, scale, and geographical advantage. These facilities are located in close proximity to key ports like Kolkata and Haldia, and raw material sources, including key aluminium and copper suppliers, allowing for time and cost-efficient procurement, reduced logistics costs, and faster turnaround times for both domestic and export orders. The proximity to critical inputs such as iron ore, chrome ore, and manganese ore further enhances its operational efficiency.  The company also has an established in-house compounding facility for insulation, sheathing and semi-conductive materials which are used across power cables and conductor. Its integrated operations reduce reliance on third-party suppliers, thereby enhancing supply security for critical inputs and mitigating risks associated with price and supply volatility.

Risks and concerns

Heavy reliance on top 10 customers: The company derives a significant portion of its revenue from its top 10 customers. Its business largely depends on its top 10 customers which contributed 72.14%, 68.87% and 53.37% of its Revenue from Operations in Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024. Loss of all or a substantial portion of sales to any of its top 10 customers, in particular for any reason (including, due to loss of contracts or failure to negotiate acceptable terms, loss of market share of these customers in their industries, disputes with these customers, adverse change in the financial condition of these customers, decline in their sales, plant shutdowns, labour strikes or other work stoppages affecting production of these customers), could have an adverse impact on its business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Power cables and conductors drive majority of revenue: The sale of power cables and conductors manufactured by the company contributes a significant portion of its revenue from operations, accounting for 72.70% in FY26, 72.25% in FY25, and 87.43% in FY24. The cables and conductors market is dependent primarily on governments planned expenditure on building new transmission and distribution networks or upgrading existing transmission and distribution networks. Accordingly, its cables and conductors business may be affected by a reduction in budgetary allocation in transmission and distribution networks or cancellation or interruption of transmission and distribution related projects. Any decrease in revenue or margins from its cables and conductors business, including due to the abovementioned factors, may also have an adverse effect on its business, cash flows, results of operation and financial position.

Fluctuating raw material prices could impact earnings: The company’s operations are dependent upon the prices and availability of the primary raw materials that it requires for the production of its aluminium conductors and power cables. The primary raw materials used by the manufacturing segment of its business are aluminium, steel, copper, XLPE and PVC compound. In the Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, It has experienced fluctuations in the cost of raw materials, including due to changes in prices on various commodity stock exchanges and other market-driven factors. While it monitors such price movements, its purchase orders with customers generally include a price escalation mechanism, which provides for adjustments in pricing based on changes in the cost of key raw materials. If it is unable to pass on cost increases to its customers or are unsuccessful in managing the effects of raw material price fluctuations, which could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

Dependence on limited suppliers raises raw material supply risk: The company depends on a limited number of suppliers and it usually does not enter into long term supply contracts with any of the raw material suppliers and typically place orders with them in advance of its anticipated requirements. The absence of long-term contracts at fixed prices exposes it to volatility in the prices of raw materials that it requires and it may be unable to pass these costs to its consumers. It also faces a risk that one or more of its existing suppliers may discontinue their supplies to it, and any inability on its part to procure raw materials from alternate suppliers in a timely manner, or on terms acceptable to it, may adversely affect its operations.
