I would now like to hand the conference over to Mr. Mohit Surana from Monarch Networth
Capital. Thank you, and over to you, sir.
Mohit Surana: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to Diamond Power's Q1 FY27 earnings call. Joining us
today are Mr. Amit Bhatnagar, Head Corporate Strategy; Mr. Pawan Lohiya, Chief Financial
Officer; and Mr. Umesh Chhaya, Whole-Time Director.
With that, I will hand over the call to Mr. Bhatnagar for his opening remarks. Over to you, sir.
Amit Bhatnagar: Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us. I am Amit Bhatnagar, Head of Corporate
Strategy at Diamond Power. On behalf of our Directors and the entire leadership team, it is a
pleasure to welcome you and to do so at what is genuinely an inflection point in our story.
For those of you meeting Diamond Power for the first time, let me place us in a single sentence.
We are one of India’s truly integrated manufacturers of power transmission and distribution
products in the cable and conductor segment, spanning the full voltage game from low voltage
to the extra high voltage. All produced at a single eminent 10-acre integrated complex in
Vadodara in the state of Gujarat. From wire rod through to finished extra high voltage cable, the
entire value chain sits under one roof.
Very few companies in our industry anywhere in the world carry that degree of integration, and
it is the foundation of everything I will describe this morning to you.
Let me begin where it matters the most, with the quarter’s results and with the conditions in
which we have earned them. This year, India’s monsoon arrived early and arrived hard. From
this very first week of June, Gujarat saw heavy and sustained rainfall and a large number of our
customer’s installation sites were flooded.
For a business where so much medium voltage cable is laid, it is arguably the most disruptive
weather imaginable. Trenching and cabling simply cannot proceed when the ground is under
water. It impacts our product and also impacts our product mix as conductor and LV cables are
not impacted much.
Our first quarter is always the most seasonally demanding of the year. This year it was more
demanding than most. However, we have met our internal target of INR700 crores. And against
Page 2 of 18

this backdrop, we more than doubled our top line. For the quarter ended 30th June 2026, on a
consolidated basis, revenue was INR690 crores. That is roughly $83 million, up 129% year-on-
year.
EBITDA was INR85 crores, up 172% on a margin of 12.3%, and an expansion of nearly 200
basis points. Profit after tax was INR58.5 crores, up 191%, at a net margin of 8.5%. Earning per
share for the quarter was INR1.11 on a face value of INR1.
I would ask you to hold these three growth figures together. Revenue up 129%, EBITDA up
172%, profit up 191% because the pattern within these is the real message. Our profit is growing
considerably faster than our revenue. That is operating leverage doing precisely what it should.
As our newer and higher value production lines mature and carry most of the load, to have
delivered growth of this magnitude through a flood-affected monsoon quarter is not a seasonal
accident. It is the evidence of the structural momentum now the Diamond Power business is
gathering.
Let me say a word specifically about margins, because there is an important story beneath the
headline. Raw materials, aluminum and copper both stood firm through the quarter and a portion
of our order book is executed at prices agreed before this input moved, so the pass-through as
per percentage of our sales reaches us with a lag.
Neither of these is structural. Mix normalizes as the high voltage lines fill throughout the year
and metal cost base over any reasonable horizon, a pass-through in the way our contracts are
written. We are completely back-to-back on passing the increases in metal and polymers to all
our customers.
What I would draw your attention to is despite these gross margin pressures, our EBITDA
margin still expanded by close to 200 basis points to 12.3%. That is precisely the operating
leverage I described earlier.
As revenue more than doubled our fixed cost base, people, plant, overheads, power was spread
on a far larger top line and the gain in absorption more than offset the compression higher on
the P&L. Put plainly, we absorbed a weaker gross margin and still delivered a materially stronger
operating margin.
As mix and utilization both improve from here, we expect the gross margin headwind to ease
and the operating leverage to compound on the top of it. You will certainly see its impact in the
next three quarters.
One brief note on the accounts, so nothing surprises you. Our tax charge for this quarter is
negligible as we continue to carry forward accumulated losses from the period preceding our
resolution plan. A benefit that will taper over time as profitability continues, but is there with us
at least for the next two years.
A second note on the comparative. In our prior accounts, you would see an exceptional item, a
provision for depreciation related to earlier periods, which had not been charged in the years

implemented.
I flag it to you for a simple reason. It is a non-cas
