Accelerated Growth
Strengthened Leadership

Accelerated Growth. Strengthened Leadership.

India’s ascent on the global economic order offers a springboard for our ambitions. At Polycab, we are leveraging our proven expertise to step into this transformative era with a clear focus to aggressively expand our domestic footprint while also capitalising on global manufacturing diversification. This reaffirms our position as a foundational partner in India’s growth story and is now accelerating growth across our portfolio.

Today, Polycab proudly stands as India’s No.1 Wires and Cables Company, outpacing the broader market through our domestic cables and wires business, where strong demand and volume growth drove our performance past historic revenue milestones. We are now decisively scaling our presence in the Fast-Moving Electrical Goods (FMEG) segment. A deliberate shift towards premiumisation has also enabled us to achieve consecutive profitable quarters and substantially strengthen our solar portfolio.

Additionally, we are benefitting from a real estate upcycle and increasing consumer preference for smarter, greener homes. This year, we launched our GreenPro-certified Green Wires+, further solidifying our leadership in sustainable infrastructure.

We have fortified our balance sheet and continue to scale our operations rapidly through internal accruals. Our operational discipline has resulted in an ultra-lean working capital cycle.

This strength is reflected in our expanding market share, which has surged from ~18% in FY 2018-19 to approximately 30-31% of the organised market in FY 2025-26.

True leaders, however, build for tomorrow even as they dominate today. This is why we are advancing Project Spring, our bold, multi-year transformation strategy, which outlines the critical enablers for capturing future opportunities. In doing so, we are embedding a powerful 'Digital DNA' across operations to redefine our retail journey. Advanced AI platforms and our dedicated loyalty apps are currently driving stronger engagement across a vast network of registered influencers.

Through targeted investments in capacity expansion, consistent innovation and deeper ESG integration across our value chain, we are not just securing our long-term leadership; we are building a resilient enterprise fully equipped to thrive in the years ahead.

Our Approach to Sustainability & ESG

Embedding ESG principles into our daily operations is a critical business imperative at Polycab. This deliberate integration mitigates long-term risk, drives measurable impact, and ensures enduring value creation across our entire stakeholder ecosystem.

Our ESG Approach

1

Understanding stakeholder needs and material ESG risks

Material topics were reassessed to align with our business strategy and key impact areas, incorporating relevant standards and stakeholder input. A comprehensive risk and opportunity assessment further guided focused progress toward our sustainability goals. (material issues and stakeholders..)

2

Establishing ESG framework and Governance

ESG governance was strengthened with a dynamic ESG Council reporting to the CSR & ESG Committee. This year, the Council led the materiality reassessment and finalised the five-year ESG roadmap to achieve the identified targets.

3

Developing roadmap and ownership

An ESG roadmap was created to outline key milestones and monitor progress toward our goals. Progress will be tracked through our strengthened governance framework, with continued disclosure on material issues in future reporting cycles.

4

Refining operations and processes

Steps are underway to reduce the environmental impact of our operations, with a strong focus on expanding renewable energy use to minimise our carbon footprint as we grow. (details on our environmental initiatives.)

5

Measuring impact and improving

Efforts are underway to drive impact-led performance by focusing on metrics with the greatest potential for positive change. This year, we began tracking key categories of Scope 3 emissions and have disclosed them in this report. (details on Scope 3 emissions.)

6

Verification through internal audits and external assurance

Regular audits and assurance ensure compliance and strategic alignment. This is the third consecutive year of reasonable assurance on BRSR Core Indicators. In FY 2025-26, the scope of assured GRI indicators expanded from last year. (assurance statement.)
