MUMBAI – KEI Industries Ltd. reported a sharp rise in net profit and revenue for the September quarter, on the back of a strong performance by its cables and wires segment. This was despite expenditure for the quarter rising as much as revenue.
The company's net profit for the quarter rose over 31% on year to INR 2.04 billion, but was only marginally higher than INR 2.03 billion expected by analysts. Revenue rose over 19% on year to INR 27.26 billion, but was below analysts' estimate of INR 27.46 billion. Revenue of the cables and wires segment rose over 22% on year to INR 26.26 billion. Total income of the company rose to INR 27.69 billion, from INR 22.97 billion in the corresponding period last year.
Total expenses increased to INR 24.91 billion, marking a rise of over 19% on year. This was mainly due to an 18% increase in the cost of materials consumed, which stood at INR 22.13 billion.
Despite firm copper prices driving up expenses during the quarter, the company was able to pass on the increased costs to customers. The uptick in copper prices also contributed to revenue growth, as copper is a key raw material for producing cables and directly impacts product pricing.
For Apr–Sept, the company reported a more than 22% on-year increase in revenue to INR 53.17 billion. Profit after tax for the period rose nearly 32% from a year ago to INR 3.99 billion. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation rose by 11.43%, against 10.40% year ago. Sales of cables and wires through the dealer and distribution network grew over 17% on year, accounting for more than 54% of total sales in the September quarter.
On a standalone basis, KEI Industries reported financial charges of INR 141.6 million for the September quarter, up from INR 133.3 million in the same period last year. Total institutional sales of cables and wires, including exports, grew a robust 36% in the first half of 2025–26 (Apr–Mar). Exports from the engineering, procurement, and construction services segment stood at INR 160 million. End
US$1 = INR 88.07
