Bansal Wire Industries Limited reported a 48% decline in consolidated net profit to ₹204.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to ₹392.8 million in the corresponding period of the previous year. The manufacturer of steel wires saw revenue from operations increase 24.4% to ₹11,678.9 million from ₹9,390.1 million in Q1 FY26. However, profitability was impacted by rising input costs and operational disruptions, which narrowed EBITDA margins by 300 basis points to 4.9%. The Board of Directors approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results on July 22, 2026.

Profit before exceptional items and tax for the consolidated entity was ₹260.37 million, down from ₹500.04 million in Q1 FY26.

Operational Highlights and Expenses
The increase in revenue was accompanied by a significant rise in operational costs. Cost of materials consumed in the consolidated results increased to ₹9,208.79 million from ₹7,309.73 million. Employee benefits expense rose to ₹469.49 million, and finance costs increased to ₹154.65 million. Depreciation and amortization expenses also grew to ₹152.05 million. These factors collectively contributed to the contraction in overall profitability despite higher topline growth. The company delivered 1,11,962 MT during the period, reflecting a strong recovery in execution after geopolitical tensions in West Asia impacted demand and industrial gas supplies in the first half of the quarter.
Strategic Developments
Bansal Wire Industries secured its first trial purchase order for its product "Steel Tyre Cord" from a leading Indian tyre manufacturer, marking a step towards commercialisation in an import-dependent market. The IHT Wire business continued to progress with customer approvals underway. Additionally, the company broadened its B2C footprint by introducing new products in the farming, fencing, and poultry segments.
Financial Strength and Cash Flow
The company reported an operating cash flow of ₹1,211 million for Q1 FY27, compared to ₹975 million in Q1 FY26. The operating cash flow to EBITDA ratio stood at 214% for the quarter. The net debt to EBITDA ratio improved to 1.68 in FY26 from 4.53 in FY24, while the debt to equity ratio reduced to 0.39 in FY26 from 1.48 in FY24. The Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) for Q1 FY27 was 10.15%, moderating from 15.37% in Q4 FY26 due to temporary disruptions.
