Diamond Power lands ₹435.71 cr cable order for 310 MW Hyderabad data centre

Tipsheet Editorial — Sun, 05 Jul 2026 21:48:26 GMT

One of the largest single cable supply orders in India's data centre segment, covering 2,135 km of cable for EPC majors L&T, Sterling & Wilson, and Blue Star.

What’s new

Wins ₹435.71 cr order for HT and LT cables for 310 MW data center campus in Hyderabad.
Supply to L&T, Sterling & Wilson, and Blue Star for five phases (HYD22-HYD26).
Delivery Aug 2026–Mar 2027; price is variation-based linked to an industry index.

Why it matters

At 4.2% of market cap and roughly two months of quarterly revenue, this is a material contract that validates Diamond Power's position in the fast-growing data centre cabling segment. The order provides near-term revenue visibility, though variation pricing introduces margin uncertainty. Combined with the recent capacity expansion to 1,200 km/month and a ₹2,000 cr QIP headroom, the company is geared for growth. Execution will be the test.

What we’re watching

Execution of this scale and margin protection under variation pricing.
Whether more data centre orders follow from the ₹4,600 cr pipeline.
Impact on quarterly revenue trajectory from H2 FY27 onwards.

The full read

Diamond Power has landed one of the largest single cable supply orders in India's data centre segment: ₹435.71 cr for 2,135 km of HT and LT cables to power a 310 MW campus in Hyderabad. The cables go to L&T, Sterling & Wilson, and Blue Star, the EPC contractors building the five-phase HYD22-HYD26 project. Deliveries start in August 2026 and run through March 2027. The contract is priced on a variation basis tied to an industry index, which introduces some margin uncertainty. Still, the order validates Diamond Power's push into the data centre cabling space, a segment the company pegs at ₹4,600 cr in addressable pipeline over the next five years. The order comes just weeks after Diamond Power doubled its QIP ceiling to ₹2,000 cr and added 150 km/month of cable capacity. At 4.2% of market cap, this is a material win. The first real test will be whether the company can execute at scale.

Diamond Power doubles QIP ceiling to ₹2,000 cr, seeks to fix shareholding

Tipsheet Editorial — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 18:27:14 GMT

With a market cap of ₹10,782 cr, the QIP size is large at 18.6% of equity. Proceeds to address minimum public shareholding norms and fund expansion.

What’s new

Board approved QIP of up to ₹2,000 cr, up from ₹1,000 cr earlier.
Company currently non-compliant with minimum public shareholding rules.
Funds to also support order execution and capacity expansion.

Why it matters

At 18.6% of market cap, the QIP is a material dilution. It signals urgency to fix regulatory compliance and chase growth, but existing shareholders face heavy stake erosion.

What we’re watching

Shareholder approval via postal ballot — will FIIs/DFIs subscribe?
Pricing discount to market; any floor price will determine dilution extent.
Impact on stock price post-announcement given large dilution overhang.

The full read

Diamond Power Infrastructure is going big on its QIP. The board approved raising the placement limit to ₹2,000 crore, double the ₹1,000 crore sanctioned just weeks ago. At a market cap of ₹10,782 crore, that's an 18.6% dilution. Dilution is real. The company, which reported trailing revenue growth of 108.5% and PAT growth of 691% in its latest quarter ended March 2026, now seeks to address its non-compliance with minimum public shareholding norms while funding order execution and capacity expansion. The QIP still needs shareholder approval via postal ballot, and pricing is yet to be set. For existing holders, the math is simple: a big chunk of equity is coming.

Diamond Power mulls boosting its ₹1,000-cr QIP limit

Tipsheet Editorial — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 22:06:00 GMT

The cable maker, already approved for a large QIP, now wants a higher ceiling. Board meets 18 June; exact amount still undisclosed.

What’s new

Board to meet 18 June to consider increasing the ₹1,000-cr QIP limit.
Exact enhanced amount not specified.
Trading window for insiders closed from 15 June.

Why it matters

Diamond Power is riding a strong FY26 — revenue up 71% to ₹1,910 cr, profit up 355% to ₹147.6 cr. A larger QIP could fund more capacity but also dilutes existing holders beyond the ~9.5% already implied. The board's decision on the new ceiling will set the scale of dilution.

What we’re watching

The new QIP limit — how much higher than ₹1,000 cr?
Whether funds are earmarked for capacity or debt reduction.
Execution of the 150 km/month cable expansion announced in June.

The full read

Diamond Power Infrastructure is coming off a year of explosive growth: revenue hit ₹1,910 cr (up 71%), net profit surged 355% to ₹147.6 cr. Now it wants to raise more capital. The board will meet on 18 June to consider raising the limit of a previously approved ₹1,000-crore Qualified Institutional Placement. The original QIP, cleared by shareholders in December 2025, would already dilute existing holders by about 9.5% at the current market cap of ₹10,542 cr. A higher ceiling means even more shares hitting the market. The company has been investing in capacity: a ₹30-crore expansion adding 150 km of monthly cable capacity was announced just weeks ago. But the exact new QIP limit remains unknown, and the open question is how the funds will be deployed. The trading window closes on 15 June; the verdict comes three days later.

Diamond Power adds 150 km of monthly cable capacity for ₹30 cr

Tipsheet Editorial — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:33:53 GMT

The eighth line at Vadodara is a small spend that lifts total output by 14% to back a multi-thousand-crore order book.

What’s new

Diamond Power commissioned its eighth MV/EHV power cable line at its Vadodara plant.
The new line adds 150 km of monthly capacity, lifting total output from 1,050 km to 1,200 km.
The ₹30 crore investment was funded entirely from internal accruals.

Why it matters

This is the second recent line commissioning, confirming an expansion roadmap previously signaled to investors. The cost is trivial at 0.3% of the ₹10,063 crore market cap, but the added capacity is material for servicing a large order book. It is low-risk, steady execution.

What we’re watching

Utilization rates on the new line to see if demand matches the new capacity.
Any further line commissions along the previously signaled expansion plan.
The margin impact of higher output on the cable business.

The full read

Diamond Power turned on its eighth MV/EHV power cable line in Vadodara. It adds 150 km of monthly capacity. Total output capability now stands at 1,200 km per month, a 14.3% jump from the previous 1,050 km. The ₹30 crore tab was paid from internal cash. That's 0.3% of the company's ₹10,063 crore market capitalization. A trivial cost. The capacity is not. It directly backs a multi-thousand-crore order book. This follows the recent commissioning of a seventh line. It is a pattern. The expansion was previously signaled and has now been executed. The next test is whether utilization on the new line proves the demand thesis.

Diamond Power's profit surges 355% in FY26 on power-infrastructure demand

Tipsheet Editorial — Tue, 26 May 2026 15:37:02 GMT

Annual revenue grew 71% to ₹1,910 crore. The year-end order book stood at ₹3,498 crore.

What’s new

FY26 revenue grew 71% to ₹1,910 crore; PAT jumped 355% to ₹158 crore.
Q4 revenue rose 108% to ₹696 crore; EBITDA margin improved to 12.1%.
Year-end order book stood at ₹3,498 crore.

Why it matters

The results were already disclosed in a prior filing, so they hold no fresh surprise. They do confirm the scale of a demand cycle in power infrastructure that is driving triple-digit quarterly growth and a large order backlog.

What we’re watching

Whether the ₹3,498 crore order book converts to revenue in FY27.
If EBITDA margins can hold above 12% as execution scales.
The mix of new orders between renewables and conventional power grids.

The full read

Diamond Power Infrastructure just confirmed a power-infrastructure boom. FY26 revenue hit ₹1,910 crore, up 71%, and profit after tax jumped 355% to ₹158 crore. The final quarter was the strongest: revenue surged 108% to ₹696 crore, and the EBITDA margin more than doubled to 12.1% from 6.1%. The real signal is the order book. At ₹3,498 crore, it represents a large pipeline of contracted work. The results were already known from a prior filing. This press release adds commentary, not surprise. What it does is put hard numbers to a cycle that appears to be accelerating, not peaking.

Diamond Power profit quadruples. CFO exits in the same filing.

Tipsheet Editorial — Tue, 26 May 2026 14:47:51 GMT

FY26 revenue jumped 74% and net profit surged more than fourfold. The company replaced its whole-time CFO and director within the same announcement.

What’s new

FY26 standalone revenue rose 74% to ₹1,944 cr; net profit quadrupled to ₹147.6 cr.
CFO and whole-time director Samir Naik resigned for personal reasons, effective May 25.
Deputy CFO Pawan Lohiya was appointed his replacement immediately.

Why it matters

The results show a company riding a strong demand cycle for power cables. The leadership change is the more intriguing element. A CFO and whole-time director departing in the same filing as a record profit print demands scrutiny. The reason given is 'personal reasons'.

What we’re watching

Any further management commentary on the sustainability of the demand surge.
Whether Naik's exit signals deeper strategic or governance shifts.
The new CFO's first set of quarterly results and capital-allocation priorities.

The full read

Diamond Power Infrastructure closed a blockbuster year. Standalone revenue for FY26 surged 74% to ₹1,944 crore, and net profit jumped more than fourfold to ₹147.6 crore from ₹34.7 crore in FY25. The company points to strong cable and conductor demand. Q4 revenue came in at ₹714.6 crore with net profit of ₹57.2 crore, indicating the momentum held through the year. But buried in the same filing is a leadership shake-up. CFO and whole-time director Samir Naik has resigned for personal reasons, effective May 25. Deputy CFO Pawan Lohiya took over immediately. The departure was previously flagged, but its pairing with record earnings is notable. A whole-time director exiting at the peak of a demand cycle is worth watching. The numbers are clean. The timing of the exit is not.

Diamond Power profit surges 4x on cable demand, but CFO exits

Tipsheet Editorial — Tue, 26 May 2026 14:33:54 GMT

FY26 revenue jumped 74% to ₹1,944 cr on strong cable and conductor demand. CFO Samir Naik resigned for personal reasons on the same day the board approved the numbers.

What’s new

FY26 revenue rose 74% to ₹1,944 cr; net profit climbed to ₹147.6 cr from ₹34.7 cr.
CFO and whole-time director Samir Naik resigned for personal reasons, effective May 25.
Deputy CFO Pawan Lohiya was appointed his replacement immediately.

Why it matters

A fourfold jump in annual profit is a sharp inflection for an infrastructure supplier. The CFO departure, announced the same day, is the second headline. The filing cites personal reasons, but a whole-time director leaving at a moment of peak visibility is a governance question that will be asked about.

What we’re watching

Any further disclosure on the reasons for Naik's exit.
Lohiya's performance as CFO in the upcoming quarters.
Whether Q4's ₹57.2 cr net profit pace is sustained.

The full read

Diamond Power Infrastructure posted a 74% revenue jump to ₹1,944 crore for FY26. Net profit rose more than fourfold to ₹147.6 crore from ₹34.7 crore a year earlier. The company credits strong demand for its cables and conductors, with Q4 contributing ₹714.6 crore in revenue and ₹57.2 crore in net profit. On the same day the board signed off on these numbers, it accepted the resignation of CFO and whole-time director Samir Naik for personal reasons. Deputy CFO Pawan Lohiya takes over immediately. A profit jump of this magnitude is rare for an infrastructure supplier. The CFO exit, coming on results day, is the second headline. Personal reasons is the stated cause, but a whole-time director leaving at a moment of peak visibility invites questions about what else is in motion.
