Sunlite Recycling Industries reported a standalone net profit of ₹40.15 crore for FY26, marking a 181.3% year-on-year increase, while revenue surged 98% to ₹2,764.72 crore. The strong performance was driven by high capacity utilization and a strategic shift towards a multi-metal recycling platform, including the acquisition of Sunlite Aluminium Pvt. Ltd. (SAPL). Management emphasized that despite a standalone EBITDA margin of 2.16%, the business maintains a high Return on Capital (ROC) and rapid cash-churning model.

The company’s consolidated financials for FY26 reflected a similar upward trajectory, with total revenue reaching ₹2,791 crore and a consolidated net profit of ₹41 crore. Operational efficiency improved significantly, as standalone EBITDA per tonne rose by 64.3% year-on-year to ₹23,230. The standalone EBITDA for the period stood at ₹59.69 crore, representing a 150.5% growth compared to the previous year.

Operational Expansion and Strategic Acquisition

Sunlite Recycling Industries has executed several capacity expansion initiatives to meet escalating demand from sectors such as power cables, data centers, and renewable energy. The current manufacturing capacity for copper rods stands at 25,000 MTPA, operating at a utilization rate of 92-93%. In a move to enhance throughput, the company began operating both its furnaces simultaneously starting August 2025, effectively doubling immediate production capacity.

The company also doubled its Annealed Tinned Coated (ATC) copper wire capacity from 800 MTPA to 1,600 MTPA through a capital expenditure of ₹2.62 crore. To diversify its product portfolio, the firm acquired 100% of Sunlite Aluminium Pvt. Ltd. (SAPL), adding 12,000 MTPA of capacity in the aluminium wire rods segment. Management expects this acquisition to yield synergies by sharing operational resources and infrastructure, thereby structurally reducing manufacturing and logistics costs.

Financial Performance FY26

The following table details the key financial metrics for the fiscal year:

Strategic Outlook and Risks

Looking ahead, the company aims to increase the share of value-added products, such as ATC and Busbars, from 15% to 25% of total revenue to improve blended margins. Future capital expenditures will be funded entirely through internal accruals, with no immediate plans for equity fundraising. However, management declined to provide specific capital expenditure figures for FY27 and FY28, citing ongoing research phases for new Anode and Copper Cathode plants.

The firm faces operational risks associated with running both furnaces simultaneously; unplanned maintenance on one unit could take approximately 1.5 months to repair, potentially halving production capacity. While growth guidance for FY26-27 is set at 10-15%, long-term projections for FY28 remain unconfirmed until expansion blueprints are finalized. The company continues to address pending GST demand cases and is coordinating with the Pollution Department to secure Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) credits.
