V-Marc India Limited: Wires, Cables and One Very Busy Order Book

There are companies that grow slowly, steadily and quietly. Then there are companies that suddenly wake up one day, drink three cups of espresso, and start sprinting like they are late for their own IPO party. V-Marc India Limited looks very much like the second category.

The company, which manufactures wires, cables and conductors, has gone from being a fairly normal-sized player to posting numbers that make people sit up and ask, “What exactly happened here?” Revenue jumped from Rs. 249 crore in FY23 to nearly Rs. 905 crore in FY25. That is not growth. That is the kind of jump usually seen when someone accidentally adds an extra zero in Excel and then prays nobody notices.

The interesting part is that this growth is not coming from one lucky contract or one flashy client. The company has managed to diversify its revenue mix. Earlier, it leaned heavily on government-related orders, which is a polite way of saying it depended on customers who are famous for paying somewhere between “eventually” and “never before retirement.” Now, retail and EPC clients are contributing much more meaningfully to the business.

Retail revenue jumped from Rs. 64 crore in H1FY25 to Rs. 218 crore in H1FY26. EPC revenue moved from Rs. 68 crore to Rs. 231 crore during the same period. That is a major shift because it reduces dependence on government business and creates a more balanced customer base. A company with multiple engines is usually safer than one running on a single tired government contract.

Profitability has also improved, though not in a dramatic, champagne-opening kind of way. EBITDA increased from Rs. 65.78 crore in FY24 to Rs. 97.14 crore in FY25, while PAT rose from Rs. 26.85 crore to Rs. 36.09 crore. The funny thing about manufacturing businesses is that even when revenue doubles, margins still behave like stingy relatives at a wedding. EBITDA margin stayed around 10–11%, which tells you competition in this industry is brutal.

And that is one of the big realities here. The wires and cables industry is crowded. Every city has some local manufacturer claiming their cables are “international quality.” It is a business where everybody promises quality, everybody fights on price, and nobody wants to leave margin on the table. So V-Marc may be growing fast, but it is
