Wires and Cables

  • Wires and Cables business grew by 35% YoY led by healthy pickup in infra and industrial project activities, improving consumer sentiment, and higher sales realisation. Polycab now commands 20-22% of share of the organised wires and cables market of India.

  • Business performance was broadly consistent across distribution channel as well as institutional business. Institutional business saw a decent recovery.

  • Within domestic distribution channel sales, Wires continued to grow faster than Cables. Housing wires sustained strong momentum.

  • Export's revenue in Q4 stood at Rs1.37bn or 4.5% of overall sales. YoY decline is largely on account of higher base of Dangote order (0.1bn in Q4FY21 vs 3.2bn in Q4FY20). Excluding that, exports portfolio was lower by about 7% YoY on account of delay in some large construction projects globally.

  • Profitability was sequentially stable in Q4. On full year basis segment margin improved by 26bps.
