Vindhya Telelinks Limited reported FY2026 standalone revenue of ₹35,663 lakhs, down 12% from ₹40,538 lakhs in FY2025. Profit after tax declined significantly to ₹5,279 lakhs from ₹11,548 lakhs (54% drop), primarily due to an 18% decline in the EPC segment revenue (from ₹33,049 to ₹27,085 lakhs) despite the Cables segment growing 11.6% (from ₹7,922 to ₹8,841 lakhs). Operating cash flow remained deeply negative at ₹-16,842 lakhs due to high working capital requirements in the EPC business. Borrowings increased sharply to ₹1,38,921 lakhs (standalone) from ₹1,11,893 lakhs. The Board approved: (1) dividend of ₹6 per share (60%), (2) raising up to ₹200 crores via NCDs, (3) appointment of a new independent director and cessation of another director upon attaining age 75, and (4) additional capital investment of ₹65 crores to expand Speciality Optical Fibre Cable capacity at Rewa to ₹101.70 crores total outlay, targeting hyperscale data centre demand. The company also announced a scheme to amalgamate Birla Cable Limited into Vindhya Telelinks.
The sharp 54% decline in PAT and negative operating cash flow signal significant financial stress in the EPC segment. The debt-to-equity ratio of 2.35 exceeds safe thresholds, raising concerns about financial flexibility. While the optical fibre capacity expansion targets high-growth segments, the company needs to address working capital and leverage issues. The NCD issuance and Birla Cable amalgamation may provide some relief.
