Cable manufacturer Shilpi Cable Technologies (SCTL) today reported a 33.39 percent decline in consolidated net profit at Rs 26.74 crore for the quarter ended September. Its net profit for the same quarter of the last fiscal stood at Rs 40.15 crore. Its consolidated total revenues for July-September jumped 10.27 percent to Rs 822.35 crore as against Rs 745.77 crore a year earlier.

"We have made a significant progress in the domestic business across business verticals and hence, on a stand-alone basis, our total revenues have jumped by 33.2 percent to Rs 416.02 crore during the quarter," MD Manish Goel told PTI. However, the overseas business took a knock in the copper wire conductor segment, which contributes nearly 70 percent of international revenues. "As a result, on the consolidated basis, revenues grew only 10.27 percent, which reflected on the profits. We want to reduce our dependence on the copper wire business in the international market and expand our telecom and other businesses there simultaneously," he said. The company recently entered into a 50:50 JV with the New Zealand-based Eyecom Telecommunications Equipments, marking its foray in the next generation technology of radio frequency (RF). "We have seen an increase in investments in the telecom sector. With this strategic partnership, we aim to capture at least 30 percent market share in the RF path solution market over the next three years. We also expect profits to increase significantly after the tie-up," Goel said. Shilpi Cables also has plans to seal more JVs in the next few years.

"We are planning to introduce new products in our basket for B2C segment. Also, we plan to invest Rs 50 crore in expansion of our production capacity. We will also invest Rs 5-10 crore in the next generation technology of radio frequency (RF)," he added.

Shilpi Cable Technologies' 23 percent revenue comes from the telecom segment, 21 percent from automotive, 10 percent from the consumer durables/assemblies, 12 percent from energy cables, and the rest 34 percent from copper wire conductor business.
