Vindhya Telelinks reported mixed results for FY26. Standalone revenue declined 12% to ₹35,663 lakhs from ₹40,538 lakhs, with PAT falling 54% to ₹5,279 lakhs due to lower EPC segment performance and higher finance costs. However, consolidated PAT grew 8.5% to ₹22,018 lakhs as associate income of ₹22,412 lakhs (mainly from Birla Corporation and Universal Cables) more than offset the standalone decline. The company recommended dividend of ₹6 per share (60%). Board approved raising ₹200 crore via NCDs and investing ₹65 crore to expand specialty optical fibre cable capacity at Rewa facility. The company also approved amalgamation of Birla Cable Limited (associate) into VTL. Note: Three wholly-owned subsidiaries excluded from consolidation due to legal dispute over unauthorized possession of books of accounts since April 2021.
Standalone revenue and profit decline is concerning, though strong associate income supports consolidated earnings. The negative operating cashflow of ₹16,842 lakhs and increased borrowings (total debt now over ₹142,000 lakhs) indicate working capital stress, likely from high EPC segment receivables. The NCD issuance and capacity expansion signal growth ambitions but add to debt burden.
