India's Cable and Wire Sector Projects 28-30% Revenue Growth Amid Rising Raw Material Costs
India's cable and wire sector is expected to see a 28-30% revenue increase in fiscal year 2027, driven by 18-20% price hikes to offset rising raw material costs amid the West Asia conflict. Prices of copper and aluminium have risen 22-27%, and polyvinyl chloride by about 12%. Demand remains strong due to investments worth Rs 10-12 lakh crore in power, renewables, real estate, data centres, and smart meters, though volume growth may moderate to around 10% due to higher prices.
