Profitability Margins
Net Profit Ratio for FY25 was 6.35%, a 27.44% decrease from 8.76% in FY24. This decline was primarily due to high depreciation charges (INR 3.15 Cr in H1 FY26) following substantial fixed asset additions. ROE fell 72.15% YoY to 10.24% in FY25.

EBITDA margin improved significantly from 3.31% in FY22 to 15.93% in FY24, a growth of 381% in margin efficiency. EBITDA grew 355% YoY in FY24 to INR 16.11 Cr from INR 3.54 Cr in FY23.
Capital Expenditure
The company undertook substantial capital expenditure of INR 32.99 Cr in FY25 for fixed asset additions. An additional INR 10.94 Cr was spent on fixed assets during H1 FY26 to support the scaling of copper strip and wire production.
Credit Rating & Borrowing

Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Copper is the primary raw material, used for manufacturing bare copper strips, conductors, and wires. Specific % of total cost is not disclosed, but profitability is highly vulnerable to copper price fluctuations.
Capacity Expansion
Revenue scale increased from INR 27.69 Cr in FY22 to INR 101.10 Cr in FY24, reflecting a 265% increase in operational scale. Planned expansion is supported by the INR 49.99 Cr IPO proceeds for long-term working capital and capex.
Raw Material Costs
Raw material costs are a major component of the cost of goods sold, which stood at INR 119.46 Cr for FY25. Profitability is sensitive to adverse fluctuations in copper prices due to the fragmented nature of the sector.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Manufacturing efficiency is impacted by high depreciation from new asset additions. ROCE decreased 44.59% YoY to 17.72% in FY25 as the capital base expanded faster than immediate EBIT growth.
