Industry Overview
The India wires and cables market size was valued at $9.32 billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow from $10.01 billion in 2025 to $17.08 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.94% during the forecast period. India has observed a substantial rise in the demand for wires and cables due to the country's ambitious renewable energy goals and the growing awareness of the potential of renewable energy, such as solar and wind power. In solar power plants, photovoltaic (PV) projects require a high-quality cabling system that connects all electrical components with minimal energy loss. The significant growth of solar panels in India is creating a considerable demand for solar cables. According to industry standards, a 1 MW solar project will use about 50 km of solar cable. Considering the Indian government's target of 100 GW of installed solar capacity by 2022, India's solar cable requirement alone is more than 5 million kilometers.
Rapid advancements in cable and connection technology are occurring alongside the shift toward digital technology. One of the key trends is that increasing volumes of data must be transmitted at increasingly faster speeds. Specialty cable designs with thermal insulation and space-saving engineering are being tested. Therefore, the trend is moving toward the frequent use of hybrid cables, which combine power cables, data cables, and even pneumatic and hydraulic hoses in a single sheath. When large volumes of data are transmitted, high-speed Cat.7 industrial Ethernet cables can replace some of the slower cables, and fiberglass cables can replace even more copper cables. Along with cables, connectors are also getting thinner. A modular connector system combines multiple contact points for different cable types in a single housing.
The global wire and cable market is expected to be valued at $193.7 billion in 2024 and is forecast to expand at a CAGR of 5.2% to end up at $321.5 billion by the end of 2034. A wire is a single conductor of electricity, but a cable is many wires bundled together in an assembly. Various types of cables, such as coaxial, transmission, and distribution cables, are extensively used across industrial sectors to transmit high-speed communication signals and electricity. Demand for flexible and fire-resistant wires and cables that offer environmental protection, and extended durability is spurring wire and cable market growth. The wire and cable market size is expanding at a steady pace as new voltage levels are introduced to enhance performance and efficiency. These advancements are allowing the cable industry to produce more efficient, reliable, and cost-effective products. Electrical cables and wires are often used interchangeably. Wire and cable constitute the backbone of the highly acclaimed electrical and electronics industries.

Risks and concerns
Maximum revenue comes from top 10 customers: The company has garnered 86.92%, 89.79% and 88.95% of its total revenue from top 10 customers in FY25, FY24 and FY23 respectively. The volume and timing of sales to its long-term customers may vary due to variation in demand for such customers’ products or on account of their manufacturing and growth strategy. Thus, any decrease in the demand for its offerings from its long-term customers, or a termination of its arrangements altogether, would adversely impact its results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.
Dependence on a single manufacturing facility: It currently operates only one manufacturing facility located in Tikamgarh, Madhya Pradesh, which exposes the company to significant operational risks due to its reliance on a single location for all of its production needs. Any disruption or shutdown of operations at this facility, whether due to natural disasters, fire, equipment failure, labour disputes, regulatory issues, or any other unforeseen circumstances, could severely impact its ability to manufacture and supply products in a timely manner. This concentration of manufacturing capacity increases its vulnerability to regional risks and limits its ability to respond to demand fluctuations or scale production in the event of increased market demand. Any prolonged disruption at its Tikamgarh facility could lead to a delay or inability to fulfill customer orders, potentially harming its relationships with customers, and leading to a loss of market share.
High working capital requirement: The company requires working capital for its smooth day-to-day operations and insufficient working capital may result in the company being unable to meet its daily operational needs. This could lead to delays in paying suppliers, wages, or other operational expenses, affecting production schedules and delivery timelines as well as fluctuation in working capital turnover ratio could also adversely impact its business and financials of the company.
