We are also progressing well on our long-term strategic agenda of focusing on sustainable value creation across B2B and B2C businesses through Project LEAP. Strong domestic economy with structural reforms focused on infrastructure development augurs well for most of our product categories. We remain committed to achieving ₹ 200 Bn sales by FY 2026 and make Polycab a future ready organization”
