Dear Stakeholders,
It is with deep pride and gratitude that I look back on a year of
meaningful transformation. Amid shifting global and domestic dynamics, we moved forward
with clarity, resilience, and a strong sense of purpose, achieving milestones that have
strengthened our business and sharpened our direction. These achievements reflect the
trust you continue to place in us and the collective effort of our people and partners who
have been integral to every step of this journey.
Global economic overview
As an exporter of wires & cables to international markets, we
remain sharply attuned to the shifting contours of the international economic landscape.
The year 2025 has brought heightened volatility, with geopolitical tensions, protectionist
policies, and supply chain disruptions shaping trade dynamics across regions. In response,
we are actively diversifying our export base, reinforcing supply chain resilience, and
investing in product innovation to sustain our competitive edge in an increasingly complex
global environment.
Amid these global headwinds,
India continues to demonstrate remarkable economic resilience.
With real GDP growth projected at 6.5% in 2025, the Indian economy is
underpinned by strong domestic demand, sustained infrastructure investments, and
forward-looking policy initiatives. The country's strategic ambition to position
itself as a global manufacturing and export powerhouse is opening new avenues for value
creation. At RR Kabel, we are committed to align with the national vision by expanding our
domestic capabilities, deepening innovation, and strengthening our contribution to
India's industrial and economic growth, while continuing to advance our leadership in
the consumer electricals sector.
Financial performance
It gives me great satisfaction to reflect on RR Kabel's
performance in FY 2024-25, a year that reinforced our standing as a formidable player in
the consumer electricals industry. We delivered our highest-ever consolidated revenue of
INR 7,618 Crores, representing a robust year- on-year growth of 15.5%.
This growth was underpinned by strategic clarity, operational rigour,
and adaptability in an evolving macro environment. Our core Wires & Cables segment
continued to serve as the primary growth driver, benefiting from sustained demand across
residential, commercial, and infrastructure segments. The FMEG business also registered
healthy progress, with improved market penetration and margin expansion, steadily moving
closer to profitability.
On the global front, our footprint strengthened further, particularly
in Europe, supported by investments in innovation and compliance with international
certifications. With capacity utilisation at peak levels
and a disciplined approach to capital expansion, we are well-positioned
to seize emerging opportunities, deepen market leadership, and sustain our growth
trajectory in the years ahead.
Human resources
At RR Kabel, our people are the foundation of our success. It is their
dedication, ingenuity, and resilience that have powered our recordbreaking performance in
FY 202425. We are proud to continue being recognised as a Great Place to Work, a
reflection of our inclusive culture and people-first philosophy. Our commitment remains
firm: to foster a workplace that nurtures talent, promotes well-being, and empowers every
individual to thrive and grow.
Sustainability
Sustainability remains at the heart of our business strategy.
We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint and enhancing
the lives of the communities we serve. We continue to integrate green practices, such as
solar rooftop installations and waste minimisation, across our facilities. Through our
Mission RRoshani, we are empowering communities by providing education and skills
development, reinforcing our commitment to creating a sustainable future while making a
positive impact on society and the environment.
Journey Ahead
As I step down from my role as Executive Chairman, my heart is filled
with gratitude for the enduring trust and support of our stakeholders employees, and
partners over the years. RR Kabel has always stood for purpose, performance, and progress,
and I am confident it will continue to do so under the capable leadership of Shri Ramesh
Chandak. With his rich experience and independent perspective, I believe the Company will
be well-guided into its next phase. I extend my warmest wishes to him and thank all those
who have been part of this remarkable journey.
