Birla Cable profits jump 235% in FY26 ahead of merger

Birla Cable delivered a strong fiscal year, with FY26 revenue climbing 16.5% to ₹771 crore. That growth flowed directly to the bottom line, where net profit jumped 235% to ₹16.9 crore from ₹5 crore in the prior year. Diluted EPS reached ₹5.62, a significant move up from the ₹1.68 reported in FY25. The board recommended a dividend of ₹1.25 per share and installed Somesh Laddha as Manager and CFO. The financial performance comes against the backdrop of the company's pending amalgamation with Vindhya Telelinks, an arrangement first flagged in March that still awaits final regulatory sign-off. The next test for the board is whether the company can maintain this improved profitability while the transition in corporate structure proceeds. It won't be easy. Profitability has clearly turned a corner.
