RR Kabel Ltd delivered robust March quarter results with net profit rising 30.2% year-on-year to ₹168 crore and revenue growing 33.6% to ₹2,964 crore. According to reports from CNBC TV18, the company's EBITDA increased 35% to ₹261 crore, though margins remained flat at 8.8% compared to the previous year. The strong financial performance was driven by robust demand in the company's core wires and cables business, which continued to anchor growth across domestic and export markets.
The wires and cables segment posted a 36.3% rise in revenue, supported by healthy demand across both domestic and export markets along with steady institutional orders. As reported by CNBC TV18, segment profitability grew 32.5%, aided by revenue expansion and price volatility management. Margins expanded by 143 basis points on an annual basis, demonstrating the segment's strong operational performance despite market volatility challenges.
The fast-moving electrical goods segment saw steady revenue growth, backed by stable demand and ongoing distribution expansion. According to CNBC TV18, while profitability remained broadly in line with last year due to continued investments in brand building and growth, the segment reported an improvement in operating efficiencies, helping contain losses. This steady performance contributed to the overall company growth despite margin pressures.
Managing Director Mahendrakumar Kabra highlighted that the quarter marked the highest-ever revenue for the company, reflecting strong demand and execution capabilities. As reported by CNBC TV18, he noted that the wires and cables business remained the key growth driver, delivering strong growth across domestic and export markets with healthy profitability despite volatility. The board recommended a final dividend of ₹5.5 per share for FY26, in addition to the interim dividend already paid to shareholders.
Despite the strong operational performance, shares of RR Kabel fell to an intraday low, declining nearly 5% on the NSE following the earnings announcement. According to CNBC TV18, the market reaction was primarily driven by the fact that higher costs kept margins flat despite the robust revenue growth, which dampened investor sentiment and dragged the stock lower despite the company's strong quarterly performance.
