What Apar Industry does

APAR Industries Limited is a publicly listed Indian manufacturing conglomerate founded in 1958 and headquartered in Mumbai, operating 11 manufacturing facilities across India and the UAE and serving customers in 140+ countries. The company operates through four core business divisions: Conductors (power transmission), Cables (electrical, fibre optic, and specialty), Speciality Oils (transformer and industrial oils), and Polymers & Lubricants (thermoplastic elastomers, XLPE compounds, and automotive/industrial lubricants). Its primary customer base is B2B enterprise — utilities, EPC contractors, power equipment OEMs, railways, telecom operators, and industrial manufacturers — with named accounts including POWERGRID, Adani Group, Tata Power, L&T, Indian Railways, Siemens, ABB, Schneider Electric, GE Vernova, Reliance Jio, Airtel, and BSNL.

APAR is the world's largest aluminium conductor manufacturer and the world's third-largest transformer oil manufacturer, holding approximately 30% market share in India's conductor market. Technical capabilities include India's only four e-beam irradiation facilities (1.5 MeV, 2.5 MeV, 2.5 MeV, 3.0 MeV) for cable cross-linking, NABL-accredited ISO 17025:2017 testing laboratories, and the only Indian facility to have successfully innovated and tested Hybrid Cables combining power and fibre optic capabilities. Specialty oils capacity stands at 400,000 KL in India and 120,000 KL in UAE with over 350 grades and 500+ variants. The cables division has compounded at over 23% CAGR over the last decade, and the company maintains over 150 BIS-certified lubricant grades.

APAR monetizes primarily through one-time B2B contracts negotiated via government tenders, long-term utility agreements, and direct EPC negotiations; no consumer-facing pricing is disclosed. Distribution runs through direct enterprise sales teams supported by an international distributor network with blending and storage hubs in Australia, South Africa, and Turkey. FY2025-26 revenue reached Rs 22,902 crore (up 23.3% YoY), with EBITDA of Rs 2,067 crore (up 23% YoY) and PAT of Rs 977 crore (up 19% YoY). The order book stood at Rs 7,671 crore at Q4 FY26 (~0.33x book-to-bill). The company is family-controlled — Kushal Desai serves as Chairman & Managing Director and Chaitanya Desai as Managing Director, both descendants of founder Shri Dharmsinh Dadubhai Desai — with institutional participation from FIIs and mutual funds following a Rs 1,000 crore QIP in 2024 and a Rs 2,500 crore board-approved fundraising plan.

Direct peers

• KEC International Limited: KEC is a major global EPC player in power transmission and distribution, and a significant buyer of conductors and cables — making it both a customer and a downstream comparable. Its T&D order book and execution profile mirror the demand drivers of APAR's largest segment.
• RR Kabel Limited: RR Kabel is a leading Indian manufacturer of wires and cables (house wires, LT/HT power, instrumentation, and specialty cables) with growing export presence. Comparable to APAR in retail wire and power cable segments, and a meaningful competitor in fast-growing specialty cables.
• Polycab India Limited: Polycab is India's largest cables and wires manufacturer, with a leading share in retail wires and a growing presence in EHV, solar, and telecom cables. It is the most direct Indian listed peer to APAR's Cable Solutions division and a comparator on conductor adjacency.
• Universal Cables Limited: Universal Cables manufactures XLPE and PVC power cables up to 220 kV and is among the larger Indian EHV cable players. It overlaps with APAR's higher-voltage cable and conductor product lines and serves similar utility and industrial customers.
• Finolex Cables Limited: Finolex is one of India's leading cable manufacturers with strength in communication cables, power cables, and house wires, plus PVC compounds. It competes directly with APAR in power and telecom cables and has comparable India-focused manufacturing footprint.
• KEI Industries Limited: KEI manufactures house wires, LT/HT power cables, EHV cables up to 400 kV, and stainless steel wires, serving utilities, infrastructure, and industrial customers across India and abroad. It is a close competitor to APAR in power cables, EPC cables, and specialty cables.

Broad incumbents

• Prysmian Group: Prysmian is the world's largest cable manufacturer, with deep presence in EHV power cables, submarine cables, telecom cables, and specialty cables. It is a global incumbent and benchmark for APAR's cable business, especially relevant as global majors expand in India.
• Havells India Limited: Havells is a diversified electrical equipment major with cables, wires, switchgear, lighting, and consumer appliances, competing with APAR in wires, cables, and power infrastructure products. It is significantly larger and broader than APAR, making it a broad incumbent rather than a focused cable peer.
• Sterlite Power Transmission Limited: Sterlite Power is a leading Indian power transmission infrastructure developer and conductor manufacturer, overlapping with APAR in conductors and T&D project execution. While more EPC-focused, it competes for the same utility customers and represents an alternative pure-play in APAR's core market.
• Siemens Limited (India): Siemens India is a major power equipment manufacturer (transformers, switchgear, grid automation) and a key customer of APAR's transformer oils. It is a broad incumbent in the same power infrastructure ecosystem, providing a reference point for scale and customer overlap.
