H1 FY27 revenue of 1,275.4 crore was the highest in the Company's history for a half year. Revenue rose 84% YoY and profit after tax rose 104% to 76.4 crore.

OUTLOOK AND GUIDANCE Demand remains structural, driven by public capex, renewables and grid investment. India added 24.6 GW of renewable capacity in H1 FY27, taking installed renewable capacity to about 299 GW by 30 September 2026 (MNRE data). The target is 500 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030. The Union Budget 2026-27 lifts capital expenditure to 12.2 lakh crore, and the National Electricity Plan earmarks 9.15 lakh crore for transmission to 2032. Cables account for about 1415% of T&D capex. The Indian wires and cables market is projected to grow at 1314% a year, to about 1,46,700 crore by FY29 (CRISIL Ratings). At Q1, management guided to FY27 revenue growth of 40%+ and an EBITDA margin of 1112%. H1 revenue growth of 84% leaves the Company well ahead of that guidance. Meeting the guided floor needs H2 FY27 revenue of only about 1,241 crore, 12% above H2 FY26. H1 EBITDA margin of 11.55% sits within the guided band. On the strength of first half performance, management is revising its full year FY27 revenue growth guidance to upwards of 60% from 40% earlier and maintains its EBITDA margin target of 11-12%. Over the longer term, the Company plans incremental capital expenditure of about 400 crore through FY30. The aim is installed capacity of over 10 lakh km by FY30, nearly five times the FY26 base of 2.12 lakh km. International expansion into Europe, the US and MENA is supported by a dedicated export team in Mumbai and participation in 610 international exhibitions during FY27. MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE Mr. Vikas Garg, Chairman & Managing Director and Promoter of V-MARC India Limited, said: H1 FY27 is the strongest half-year in our history. Revenue of 1,275 crore is up 84%, and profit after tax of 76 crore has more than doubled. Q2 was our best quarter yet: revenue of 720 crore was up 73% on last year, and our EBITDA margin recovered to 12.2% as gross margins improved after the first quarter. Growth has been broad-based. Government and EPC customers have each roughly doubled their business with us, as investment in transmission, renewables and infrastructure continues. Building wires and industrial cables have nearly tripled, and our exports reached 181 crore in six months, almost three times what we achieved in all of FY26. At Q1 we guided to more than 40% revenue growth and an 1112% EBITDA margin for FY27. We are well ahead of that pace and maintain our guidance. For the rest of the year our focus is on converting this growth into cash bringing inventory and receivables back in line rebuilding momentum in our dealer channel, and adding the capacity that will take us towards 10 lakh km by FY30. The Board and management remain committed to building V-MARC with discipline and to creating durable, long-term value for all our stakeholders.
