Mohammed S Sahil: Good evening, everyone. On behalf of IDBI Capital, we welcome you for Q2 FY2027
conference call of Vidya Wires. On the call from the management team, we have Mr.
Shailesh Rathi, Managing Director, and Mr. Naveen Pachisia, CFO. Now, I would request
Mr. Shailesh Rathi for his opening remarks and after that we can open the floor for Q&A.
Over to you, Sir!
Shailesh Rathi: Good afternoon, everyone and thank you for joining the Vidya Wires results call for the
second quarter and first half of FY2027. Our results have been filed with the Stock
Exchanges and are on our website as well. Many of you have heard me describe our
Company and our industry on the earlier calls and at our AGM in September. I will not go
over that again today. I want to use my time on where we stand in ALCU, our investment
and our focus for the second half. On a consolidated basis, the revenue for the half was
$11,306 million up by 43% (audio cut) 0:01:40 half last year, and profit after tax was
$319.7 million. Naveen will take you through the details. Let me start with ALCU, because
that is where most of our questions will be. ALCU makes two family of products, copper
and aluminium, and they are at different stages. Copper is ramping up well. Within 8
months of starting production in February, the copper lines are already running at a healthy
share of their capacity and output has risen each month. On aluminium, testing of the lines
is ongoing, customers are approving our products and more approvals are in process. As
these approvals turn into regular orders, aluminium volumes will build up from the end of
the third quarter. The new products we launched at ALCU in February are moving well.
EV, round ripple and aluminum paper-covered are now being supplied to customers on
regular orders. ALCU now has production lines installed for aluminium enameled wires and
strips, paper-covered aluminium strips, PV ribbon for solar modules, and copper busbars
and foils. I am also pleased to tell you that we have started exports from ALCU. The first
shipments have gone to Israel and Nepal. This is an early step towards our aim of exports
making up a quarter of our revenue once the expansion is complete.
In the AGM, I said we expected to start CTC this year. The plant is now close to complete
and we expect to begin CTC production by the end of the third quarter, that is by December

mid. CTC is going to large power transformer, so it adds to an important product to our
range for the transformer industry. We expect CTC to start contributing to revenue from the
fourth quarter. With most of our installation and construction work in ALCU is finishing by
December, our now full attention is in the second half moves towards the sales. Customers
are already visiting ALCU to audit the plant and these visits will continue as more products
comes for approval. Our task is now to turn these audits and approvals into steady orders.
They are also offering the new products made to help you to our existing customers of
Vidya Wires, so they can buy a wider range from one supplier. Outside India, we will look
to add more customers in more countries for ALCU products. We will update you on the
progress on the next call. I now hand over to Mr. Naveen.
Naveen Pachisia: Thank you, Shailesh ji. Good afternoon, everyone. All figures are consolidated. For the
second quarter, revenue from operation was 5809.4 million, up 52.5% from Rs.3809.4 in
the same quarter last year and up by 5.68% from the first quarter. EBITDA was $239.55
million, profit after tax was $148.4 million, so the half-year revenue was Rs.11,306.5
million against 7927 million, H1 of FY2025-2026, a growth of 42.63. EBITDA was
Rs.491.8 million against Rs.382.64 million. Profit after tax was 319.7 million against
Rs.225.3 million. These results include ALCU’s first half year of operation. (audio cut)
0:07:32. Most of the extra contribution will come to profit. The IPO funds set aside for the
ALCU capex are being used as planned. The amount not yet spent is kept in fixed deposits.
We expect the capex to be largely complete by the end of the third quarter in line with the
planned completion Shailesh ji spoke about it. Our results for half year carry the full cost of
ALCU while its volumes are still building. As copper volumes rise, aluminium approvals
turn into orders and CTC starts, we expect this to show enough profits over the coming
quarters. We are now happy to take your questions. Thank you.
Moderator: Thank you, sir. Ladies and gentlemen, we will now begin with the question-and-answer
session. Anyone who wishes to ask a question may click on the raise hand icon from the
participants tab on your screen. Requesting participants to be precise and ask two questions
each. We will take our first question. We have Mr. Adityapal Jaggi of MSA Capital
Partners. Yes, go ahead.
Adityapal Jaggi: Thank you so much for the opportunity. Sir, just wanted to understand from you. So, ALCU
is now contributing close to 20% of our Q2 revenues it was Rs.60 Crores in Q1, Rs.110
Crores in Q2 and because as you said there is a higher margin product, higher EBITDA per
kg product how should I look at the Company’s overall spend and overall EBITDA margins
because in previous call also we said that these are high margin products and I understand
that the copper prices is going up because of which our margin might look distorted on the

P&L, but if I am looking from an EBITDA per kg that is in FY2026 we exited with around
about Rs.47-48 EBITDA per kg what would be the EBITDA per kg today and what would
be the spends per kg today? So, that was my first question, Sir.
Adityapal Jaggi: Can you repeat, Sir?
Shailesh Rathi: If you can repeat.
Adityapal Jaggi: My question was that in FY2026, we said that ALCU is one of the high margin products
and now 20%, 18% to 20% of Q2 revenues have come from ALCU and ALCU is ramping
up really well, but the same is not being seen in the P&L, in FY2026 we exited with 47-48
EBITDA per kg these are high margin products, so EBITDA per kg should be higher, so,
how should one understand this? That is what I am trying to understand.
Naveen Pachisia: You are looking at EBITDA per kg on a consolidated basis or on a standalone basis?
Adityapal Jaggi: Yes, Sir. EBITDA per kg on a consolidated basis, but I have got FY2026 numbers I did not
have FY2027 H1 nu
