Polycab India Limited's consolidated financial results show impressive growth for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2024. The total income reached approximately ₹52,511 crore, representing a year-on-year increase of 19.1%, with key drivers being robust demand in the wires and cables segment and market expansion initiatives.

Earnings Per Share (EPS) for the quarter is ₹40.98, impacted by higher operational costs primarily in material sourcing and employee benefits, which have risen by 11% year-on-year.
Operational costs have shown notable improvements, growing by only 4% on a year-over-year basis despite rising input prices. This suggests effective cost management strategies are in place.
