About the Company
Orient Cables (India), founded in 2005 and based in New Delhi, makes data-networking cables (CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6A), patch cords, CCTV and coaxial cables, speciality power cables and optical-fibre cables. It has also moved into newer lines such as EV-charging cables, electron-beam irradiated cables, solar junction boxes and tethered-drone systems. Manufacturing is at Bhiwadi (Rajasthan) and Bengaluru.
Strengths
- ✅ One of the larger players in India's networking-cable market, with an estimated share of around 23% in FY26
- ✅ Income has nearly doubled in two years, from about ₹665 Cr in FY24 to ₹1,182 Cr in FY26
- ✅ Holds BIS, RDSO and DRDO approvals, which open doors to railway and defence buyers
- ✅ Newer categories such as EV-charging and solar products give it room beyond data cables
Risk Factors
- ⚠️ Profit did not keep pace with sales — FY26 PAT of ₹53.6 Cr was flat on FY25 despite ~42% higher income, so margins are thin
- ⚠️ Top 10 customers account for about 77% of revenue, with the largest alone at roughly a quarter
- ⚠️ Operating cash flow has turned negative because of inventory and receivables build-up
- ⚠️ Copper and polymer prices drive raw-material costs, and a few suppliers provide most inputs
- ⚠️ At the upper band the issue is priced at roughly 52x FY26 earnings
