Birla Cable Ltd Q1 Profit Rises to ₹30.70 Crore on Sales Growth

Birla Cable Ltd reported a net profit of ₹30.70 crore for the quarter ended 30 June 2026, compared with ₹1.36 crore a year earlier, while net sales turnover rose 51.13% year-on-year to ₹266.64 crore. The result reflects a substantial improvement in operating profit and lower interest expense versus the preceding quarter.

What did Birla Cable report for Q1 FY27?

Birla Cable reported total income of ₹267.24 crore in Q1 FY27, including net sales turnover of ₹266.64 crore and other income of ₹0.61 crore. Net sales were higher than ₹176.44 crore in Q1 FY26 and ₹214.10 crore in the March 2026 quarter.

Profit and loss for the quarter stood at ₹30.70 crore, compared with ₹1.36 crore a year earlier and ₹10.80 crore in the preceding quarter. The available financial summary also placed quarterly earnings per share at ₹10.23, versus ₹3.60 in the March 2026 quarter and ₹0.45 in Q1 FY26.

The company’s reported Q1 FY27 figures were released after the quarter ended on 30 June 2026. The available earnings information lists 2 August 2026 as the last earnings date and 5 November 2026 as the upcoming Q2 FY27 earnings date.

How did Birla Cable's operating performance improve?

Birla Cable's operating performance improved as total expenses increased more slowly than income during the June 2026 quarter. Total expenses were ₹220.67 crore, compared with ₹193.85 crore in the March 2026 quarter and ₹168.59 crore in the year-earlier quarter.

Operating profit rose to ₹45.96 crore from ₹20.25 crore in the preceding quarter and ₹7.84 crore a year earlier. EBITDA was ₹46.57 crore, up from ₹21.59 crore in March 2026 and ₹8.39 crore in June 2025. Based on reported total income, the EBITDA margin was approximately 17.4% in Q1 FY27, compared with roughly 10.0% in the preceding quarter.

Depreciation declined to ₹3.43 crore from ₹3.70 crore sequentially. Interest expense was ₹2.05 crore, lower than ₹3.59 crore in the March quarter and ₹2.32 crore a year ago. As a result, earnings before tax rose to ₹41.09 crore from ₹14.30 crore in Q4 FY26 and ₹1.86 crore in Q1 FY26.

What factors contributed to the higher quarterly profit?

The reported numbers show that revenue growth and operating-profit expansion were the main contributors to Birla Cable's higher quarterly profit. Net sales turnover increased by ₹90.20 crore from the year-earlier quarter, while operating profit increased by ₹38.12 crore over the same period.

Gross profit was reported at ₹42 crore in the summary data, up 156.98% quarter-on-quarter and 1,071.63% year-on-year. The detailed quarterly statement separately showed operating profit of ₹45.96 crore. These metrics are presented differently in the source data, but both indicate a marked improvement in profitability during the June quarter.

Tax expense was ₹10.39 crore, compared with ₹3.49 crore in the March quarter and ₹0.50 crore in Q1 FY26. Even after the higher tax charge, the increase in earnings before tax supported the rise in reported profit after tax.

Why do the Q1 results matter for investors?

The Q1 figures matter because Birla Cable recorded higher revenue, EBITDA and net profit together, rather than relying on other income for the earnings increase. Other income was only ₹0.61 crore in the June 2026 quarter, while operating profit was ₹45.96 crore, indicating that the reported improvement was primarily reflected in operating performance.

For investors, the sequential progression is also notable. Revenue rose from ₹176.07 crore in September 2025 to ₹204.51 crore in December 2025, ₹214.10 crore in March 2026 and ₹266.64 crore in June 2026. Net profit moved from ₹0.71 crore in September 2025 to ₹4.02 crore, ₹10.80 crore and ₹30.70 crore across the same sequence of quarters.

The source data lists a 12-month ROIC of 6.3% for Q1 FY27, alongside a 12% standard cost-of-capital assumption for India. That cost-of-capital figure is explicitly described as a standard assumption rather than a company-specific estimate. No share-price movement, order-book update, volume data or management outlook was provided with the supplied results.

What are the next reported events for Birla Cable?

Birla Cable's board was scheduled to meet on 5 November 2026 to approve Q2 FY27 results. That scheduled disclosure is the next reported financial event in the supplied information and will provide the next quarterly comparison for revenue, margins and profit.

The company has also received no-objection letters from the National Stock Exchange of India and no-adverse-observation letters from BSE for its proposed Scheme of Amalgamation. The provided information does not specify the parties, timeline, financial terms or expected operational effects of the proposed scheme.

A BSE corporate announcement titled “BIRLACABLE Reports Quarterly Financial Results & Operating Metrics Update” was published on 7 October 2026. The supplied material does not include additional operating metrics or management commentary from that announcement, so the Q1 financial statement remains the basis for assessing the reported performance.

Conclusion

Birla Cable delivered a strong Q1 FY27 financial result, with net sales turnover rising to ₹266.64 crore and profit after tax reaching ₹30.70 crore. The increase was supported by a substantial rise in operating profit, while interest expense declined from the preceding quarter.

The next item to watch is the Q2 FY27 result scheduled for 5 November 2026, particularly whether revenue and profitability remain above the June-quarter levels. Investors may also monitor future disclosures on the proposed Scheme of Amalgamation, for which exchange observations have been received but further terms were not provided.
