Polycab India Reports Strong Q2 Growth Amid Rising Competition and Cost Pressures
Polycab India reported strong Q2FY27 results with consolidated revenue rising about 50% year-on-year, driven by robust demand in wires, cables, and FMEG segments. EBIT margin improved sequentially despite raw material cost pressures. Both Prabhudas Lilladher and Motilal Oswal upgraded earnings estimates and maintained buy ratings, citing healthy domestic demand and operational efficiencies. However, competition is intensifying with new entrants like UltraTech Cement's Ultravolt brand, though Polycab's management expects limited impact and no immediate pricing changes.
