Financial Performance

The company's standalone financial results for FY 2025-26 reflect a challenging year, with revenue and profitability declining across key metrics. The following table summarises the standalone and consolidated performance:

The standalone net profit declined sharply to ₹5,278.71 lakhs from ₹11,547.60 lakhs in the previous year. Revenue from operations fell from ₹405,383.41 lakhs to ₹356,628.58 lakhs. The decline was primarily attributed to an 18.04% drop in EPC segment revenue, driven by a slowdown in government capital expenditure under the Uttar Pradesh Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) project, and a significant increase in finance costs to ₹14,819.15 lakhs from ₹10,178.08 lakhs due to elevated working capital deployment. The Cable segment, however, registered revenue growth of 11.60%, led by strong demand for Solar and Specialty Optical Fibre Cables.

Segment-Wise Performance

The Cable business segment reported revenue from sale of products of ₹88,410.05 lakhs, up from ₹79,221.67 lakhs in the previous year. The EPC business segment saw revenue from operations decline to ₹270,851.23 lakhs from ₹330,486.50 lakhs, reflecting the impact of delayed fund releases under the JJM programme. The company also reported export revenue of ₹4,270.16 lakhs during the year, compared to ₹4,262.79 lakhs in the previous year.

Dividend and AGM Details

The Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of ₹6.00 per equity share of face value ₹10 each, representing a payout of 60%, compared to ₹16.00 per share (160%) in the previous year. Subject to shareholder approval at the AGM, the total cash outflow on account of dividend will amount to ₹711.05 lakhs, representing 13.47% of the standalone net profit for FY 2025-26. Payment will be made on or before August 31, 2026.
