Apar Industries reported a strong Q1 FY26 with revenue of ₹5,104 crore (+27.3% YoY), EBITDA of ₹501 crore (+27% YoY), and PAT of ₹263 crore (+30% YoY). Growth was driven by robust domestic demand across all segments, particularly conductors (+43.9% YoY revenue) and cables (+36.3% YoY). The conductor division benefited from improved product mix and premium product sales, with EBITDA per ton rising to ₹43,688. The oil business saw volume growth of 8.1% despite flat revenues due to lower crude prices. Management maintained guidance for 10% volume growth in conductors and 25% value growth in cables. Key risks include US tariff uncertainty, Chinese subsidized exports, and project delays in oil export markets. The company is executing a ₹1,300 crore capex plan to expand capacity and enhance flexibility.
