What Polycab India Limited does

Polycab India Limited (NSE/BSE: POLYCAB), headquartered in Mumbai and incorporated in Gujarat in 1996 (formerly Polycab Wires Limited), is India's largest wires and cables manufacturer with a 30-31% share of the organized domestic market. The company operates 27 manufacturing facilities across India and serves customers in 84+ countries, producing low-, medium-, and extra-high-voltage power cables; communication, data, and instrumentation cables; and specialized renewable-energy cables. Its product portfolio extends into Fast-Moving Electrical Goods (FMEG) including BLDC and conventional ceiling, table, wall, pedestal, and exhaust fans, LED lighting, modular switches and switchgear (MCB/RCCB/RCBO), water heaters, EV charging solutions, and an integrated solar product line (grid-tie inverters, distribution boxes, solar cables).

The company monetizes primarily through hardware sales via a pan-India network of authorized dealers and retail outlets, complemented by institutional sales to government infrastructure programs (BharatNet Phase III across Karnataka, Puducherry, Goa, and Bihar; RDSS expected at Rs 1,800-2,000 crore in FY27) and a growing export business currently at ~8% of revenue. An Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) segment, recently ring-fenced under the wholly owned subsidiary Polycon Infra Projects Private Limited (incorporated April 24, 2026), executes power distribution, transmission, and telecom projects. Distribution has been bolstered by Quick Service Depots, with a ~15,000 sq ft facility opened in Amritsar in April 2026. Notable proprietary technologies include Polycab Suprema E-Beam crosslinked wire, India's first GreenPro-certified building wire (Green Wire+), and BLDC fan platforms delivering up to 65% energy savings versus conventional induction-motor fans. Certifications span ISO 9001/14001/45001/50001 and multiple BASEC product certificates supporting international market access.

Revenue model

1. Wires and Cables: Polycab's dominant business segment covering house wires, power cables (LV/MV/EHV), communication and data cables, instrumentation cables, and renewable energy cables. Wires and cables revenue reached Rs 251.789 billion in FY26, growing 33% YoY, representing approximately 87% of total revenue. The segment benefits from Polycab's market-leading position (30-31% organized market share), government infrastructure spending on BharatNet and RDSS, and robust domestic demand from real estate and industrial projects.
2. Fast-Moving Electrical Goods (FMEG): FMEG segment encompassing fans (ceiling, table, wall, pedestal, exhaust, air circulators), LED lighting (bulbs, downlights, panel lights, LED batten, rope and strip lights), switches and accessories, switchgear (MCB, RCCB, RCBO, isolators), water heaters (instant and storage), and solar products. The segment posted exceptional 71% YoY growth in Q1 FY27 with record revenue, driven primarily by solar products. FMEG is a strategic growth pillar with EBIT turning positive in FY26 for the first time.
3. EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction): EPC projects in power distribution, transmission, and telecom sectors. The company established a new wholly owned subsidiary, Polycon Infra Projects Private Limited (incorporated April 24, 2026), to focus on EPC projects in power distribution, transmission, and telecom. EPC business declined 11% in Q1 FY27 due to project execution timing. The segment contributes to integrated solutions alongside the core cables business.
