Management Commentary on Growth and Margin Focus​

Mr. Gautam Seth, Joint Managing Director and CFO of HPL Electric & Power Limited, commented on the strong Q1 FY27 results. He noted that the quarter demonstrated increasing breadth in HPL's growth profile, noting C&I’s performance compared with Q1 FY26.

Seth highlighted that Wires & Cables revenue alone grew 78.6% YoY to ₹145.75 crore, contributing significantly toward the segment’s volume-led growth. The diversified participation across products like Lighting and Industrial Switchgear reinforced C&I's status as a diversified growth platform.

Regarding Smart Metering, Seth stated that while revenue grew by 16.53% YoY, the market is progressing into a more mature execution phase, with quarterly results influenced by AMISP procurement and dispatch schedules. HPL views this segment as a long-duration opportunity, backed by its manufacturing scale and utility relationships.

While EBITDA saw growth during the quarter, Seth acknowledged that margins reflected input-cost volatility and changing revenue mixes. He confirmed that pricing and product-mix actions are underway to progressively improve margin quality across both businesses.
