We are well-positioned to capture a significant share of the segment’s growth, thanks to our omni-channel presence, extensive distribution network, and a diversified product portfolio catering to multiple price points. Our ability to identify and address product gaps further enhances our competitive edge. As always, our commitment to quality, safety, and operational excellence remains central to our growth strategy,” he added.
Along with the Q4 results, R R Kabel has also informed that its board has approved the proposed expansion to increase the manufacturing capacities for Wires and Cables at the company’s existing facility in Waghodia and the upcoming new facility in Silvassa.
R R Kabel is aiming to add 36,000 metric tonnes (MT) per annum to its current capacity of 67,200 MT, which is operating at approximately 79% utilisation. The full capacity addition is planned in a phased manner by March 2028.
The project is expected to require an investment of around Rs 1,050 crore, to be funded through a mix of internal accruals and debt. The expansion is being undertaken to meet growing market demand for wires and cables across the infrastructure and residential sectors.
