- Polycab aims to grow its core cables and wires segment—accounting for 84% of revenue—at 1.5x the industry rate. With the industry expected to grow at 1.5x–2x of real GDP, this positions Polycab’s segment growth in the mid-teens range annually.
- The FMEG segment, now profitable and contributing 7–8% of revenue, is expected to grow at high-teen rates, with Polycab targeting 1.5x–2x industry growth. Additionally, the company plans to improve EBITDA margins to 8–10% within five years.
- Polycab plans a ₹6,000–8,000 crore capex under “Project Spring 2030,” entirely funded through internal accruals—with no equity dilution planned.
- The entry of new players like Adani and Birla will not significantly disrupt Polycab’s growth trajectory. And noted that the growing demand in construction and quality-focused buying behavior will favor established, organized players like Polycab.
