If you are tracking India’s fast-growing electricals space, Polycab India’s Q1 FY25–26 results are sure to catch your attention. The company reported a 50% jump in net profit YoY, taking it to ₹592 crore in the June quarter. Revenue also expanded 26% YoY to ₹5,906 crore, making this the highest-ever Q1 performance for the cables and wires major.
The quarter’s growth came largely from continued traction in the Wires & Cables (W&C) business, coupled with improving efficiency and strategic pricing moves. If you are watching the sector for cues on infrastructure-led demand or premium FMEG trends, Polycab offers plenty to note this quarter.

If you are comparing quarter-on-quarter numbers, revenue and profit did dip versus Q4—but that is in line with seasonal trends. The year-on-year story, however, remains robust and clearly shows sustained demand and better profitability.
Polycab’s growth engine this quarter was led by its Wires & Cables (W&C) segment, which saw a 31% YoY revenue jump. This was driven by strong domestic demand, especially in infrastructure, power, and industrial segments.
W&C revenue surged due to higher government spending, better project execution, and rising commodity prices.
Domestic business grew by 32% YoY, with cables outperforming wires—a trend consistent with last few quarters.
Both channel and institutional sales showed healthy traction, indicating balanced growth.
International business expanded by 24% YoY and now contributes 5.2% to the topline.
The FMEG segment recorded its second profitable quarter, supported by premiumisation and improved leverage.
You may be wondering what this means in the bigger picture. Here is how Polycab’s performance compares within the electrical goods and infrastructure supply ecosystem:
India’s capex-led infrastructure cycle continues to benefit suppliers like Polycab.
Government spending and public utility projects are likely to support sustained cable demand throughout FY26.
In the consumer space, the FMEG segment is gaining traction through brand-led and premium product expansion.
The export push from India in electrical goods is also showing early signs of success, as reflected in Polycab’s international growth.
Speaking on the Q1 performance, Chairman and Managing Director Inder T. Jaisinghani said:
“We have started FY 2026 on a strong footing, delivering our highest-ever first-quarter revenue and profitability. Our Wires and Cables business continued to perform well, driven by sustained domestic demand, while our international business also delivered healthy YoY growth.”
He added that the FMEG segment has now maintained a positive trajectory, supported by a focus on premium offerings and better operational leverage.
“With continued momentum in government spending and improving project execution on the ground, we are confident in our ability to capitalise on the opportunities that lie ahead,” he concluded.
