The full read
Birla Cable closed FY26 with a profit of ₹16.9 crore, a 235% jump from the ₹5 crore recorded in the previous year. Revenue grew 16.5% to reach ₹771 crore, lifting earnings per share to ₹5.62.
Profitability is up.
The board also approved a dividend of ₹1.25 per share and appointed Somesh Laddha as manager and CFO. These figures arrive while the company waits for regulatory approval on its planned merger into Vindhya Telelinks, which was first announced in March. While the 16.5% revenue expansion is solid, the firm’s trajectory is now tethered to the merger process rather than independent operations. The new CFO hire and the dividend payout act as final housekeeping for a business preparing to be absorbed by its parent entity. The market already held visibility into this path, making these results the last chapter of an independent story.
