• Management said EHV cables are used for underground bulk power transmission by utilities like Power Grid and by large power users such as data centers, metros and industries.
• Company is operating at almost 100% capacity in EHV cables and is setting up a new facility at Sanand to expand capacity, expected to come into production by end of March 2027, with enhanced results expected in FY28.
• New product categories include electron beam cured wires and cables for solar, railways and ship building; company already makes similar cables via steam cure process for 15 years and is now shifting process per customer demand.
• On working capital, management said inventory/working capital rise is an industry-wide issue due to higher metal prices and quarter-end dispatch delays, and expects normalization in the next three months; company remains debt-free.
• Management said data centers are growing substantially in India and the company is well positioned, supplying cables to almost every upcoming data center except optical fiber products.
