The full read
Schneider Electric Infrastructure finished FY26 with ₹2,890.6 crore in revenue, a 9.6% increase over the prior year. Annual net profit fell 20% to ₹212.5 crore. The most pressing issue is the volatility in the final quarter, where revenue plummeted to ₹586.8 crore from ₹1,020.1 crore in the preceding quarter. This sharp drop points to execution bottlenecks or extreme seasonality. Leadership remains stable, with the board confirming the reappointment of Udai Singh as MD and CEO for another three years starting in September. The company is seeking shareholder approval via postal ballot for material related-party transactions with its sister entity, Schneider Electric IT Business India.
