The full read
Salzer Electronics grew consolidated revenue by 24% to ₹1,758 crore in FY26. While the top line expanded, the bottom line struggled to keep pace. Full-year PAT grew only 2.5% to reach ₹53.77 crore. The company faced margin pressure throughout the year as input costs and expenses related to business scaling grew. EBITDA margins slipped to 8.36%, down from 9.44% the previous year.
The fourth quarter was particularly soft.
PAT fell 4% year-over-year in that period. The filing brings no surprises to the table, as it repeats the previously communicated Wirepas MOU and delivers performance that lines up with prior expectations. This is a routine disclosure. It shows just how difficult it is to protect margins during a growth phase.
