Fundraise plans

  • There is no specific mention of any current or planned new fundraising through debt or equity in the transcript.
  • Management noted increased net debt is mainly due to working capital borrowings related to seasonality, not new long-term debt.
  • No clarity or definite timeline provided on capacity expansion go-live date, but capex is expected to continue year-on-year to support growth.
  • The company indicated that future capital expenditure will be moderate compared to FY26 but necessary to maintain growth.
  • No explicit statement about raising funds via equity or fresh debt issuances was made during the discussion.
  • The focus appears to be on operational ramp-up and leveraging existing financial arrangements rather than new fundraising.

Order book

No
  • As of March 31, 2026, Dynamic Cables Limited's order book stands at INR 808 crores, providing strong revenue visibility.
  • Beginning of Q4 FY26, the starting order book was around INR 790 crores.
  • Order book growth has slowed down to about 11% quarter-on-quarter.
  • The company anticipates some deferment in order booking due to sudden raw material price spikes in March 2026.
  • Market acceptance of higher raw material prices is gradually improving, leading to a pickup in order flow.
  • The company expects marginal incremental share in order book from 18% to about 20-23% in the coming periods.
  • The management does not link order book growth directly with capacity expansion delays but attributes slower order growth largely to pricing volatility and customer deferments.

Capex plans

Yes
  • Dynamic Cables undertook a greenfield capex of approximately INR 40 crores, with an expectation of 6x asset turnover.
  • The new plant is expected to go live by September 2026 (second half of FY '27), aiming for rapid ramp-up.
  • Future capex is planned but details on scale and timing remain undecided; incremental capex will support growth momentum.
  • Brownfield expansions typically require less capex compared to greenfield projects.
  • Management indicates that to sustain 18%-20% long-term growth, continuing capital expenditure yearly is necessary.
  • There might be slight additional capex related to the TS Conductor partnership, but no major investment needed as existing facilities suffice.
  • Capacity is fungible; expansions aim to meet demand, particularly in renewable and solar cables.
  • Capex intensity spiked in FY'26 due to greenfield project; FY'27 capex expected to be lower but consistent with growth needs.
