The company filed the update with the stock exchanges on May 26, 2026, ensuring investors have access to the correct recording of management's commentary on the reported period.

The submission was made in compliance with the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The revised link replaces the previous version and is now available on the Salzer Electronics website for stakeholders seeking detailed insights into the company's performance.

Key Details

The communication was signed by K M Murugesan, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, on behalf of Salzer Electronics.

Salzer Electronics Limited reported a 23.98% year-on-year increase in consolidated revenue to ₹1,758.38 crore for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, driven by robust demand for industrial switchgear and wires & cables. Profit After Tax (PAT) for FY26 stood at ₹53.77 crore, a growth of 2.49% compared to the previous year. For the fourth quarter, revenue increased by 26.19% to ₹474.14 crore, while PAT declined to ₹10.47 crore from ₹10.92 crore in the corresponding period of the previous year due to higher input costs and scaling expenses in new segments.

The board of directors recommended a dividend of ₹2.50 per equity share for FY26, subject to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting scheduled for September 12, 2026. The record date for dividend eligibility is August 28, 2026. Additionally, the board approved the re-appointment of Mrs. Priya Bhansali and Mr. Sharat Chandra Bhargava as Independent Directors and Mr. A. R. Ramasubramania Raja as Cost Auditor.

Financial Highlights

The company’s EBITDA for FY26 rose to ₹147.06 crore from ₹133.90 crore in FY25, though margins moderated to 8.36% from 9.44% due to raw material volatility. Management outlined a roadmap to restore EBITDA margins to approximately 10% by FY27 through price hikes initiated in February and March 2026, an improved mix of high-margin engineered products, and operating leverage.

Operational and Strategic Developments

Industrial Switchgear remained the primary growth driver, contributing 56.0% to total revenue, followed by Wire & Cable at 38.9% and Building Electrical products at 5.1%. Exports accounted for 21.06% of total revenue, with management targeting a restoration to above 25% supported by a tariff reset in the US and the commissioning of a local manufacturing plant in Saudi Arabia targeted for June 2026.

During the quarter, Salzer Electronics signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Wirepas, a Finland-based leader in wireless mesh technology, to integrate advanced metering solutions into its smart electricity meters. The company is also expanding its EV charging capabilities through a strategic stake in UltraFast Chargers and executing a ₹2,200 crore project with Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) for energy management, expected to generate recurring revenue starting Q1 FY27.
