HFCL Share Price Rises After $1.1B Optical Fibre Cable Deal
Share

HFCL Limited has entered into a long-term supply agreement with a customer for optical fibre cables (OFC). The deal is valued at about $1.10 billion, or roughly ₹10,159 crore.

Under this, the company will supply high-quality, high-fibre-count optical fibre cables. The supplies will be executed through its wholly owned overseas subsidiary. It is the first time the company has signed a long-term, multi-year OFC supply agreement of this scale.

Agreement Details

  • The company will supply a minimum quantity of multi-million fibre kilometres (fkm) of OFC each year. The supply period will start from 2026 to 2028, which shall automatically extend to two additional calendar years i.e. 2029 and 2030.
  • Purchase orders will be released periodically during the contract period. They will depend on project-wise and specification-wise requirements.
  • Additionally, HFCL’s wholly owned subsidiary will also be eligible to supply OFC to the customer’s assignees and authorised affiliates.

The contract is expected to be executed by December 2030.

Why is this strategically important?

It is very important to note that only a limited number of manufacturers globally have the technology, precision and scale to produce such complex OFC products. This agreement therefore strengthens HFCL’s competitive position in the global optical fibre cable market. It also supports the company’s long-term growth outlook.

Q3 2025-26 Earnings (Consolidated)

  • Revenue for Q3 2025-26 stood at ₹1210.79 crore, compared to ₹1043.34 crore in Q2 2025-26 and ₹1011.95 crore in Q3 2024-25.
  • EBITDA stood at ₹243.52 crore, compared to ₹203.37 crore in Q2 2025-26 and ₹171.89 crore in Q3 2024-25, with an EBITDA margin of 20.11%.
  • Profit after tax stood at ₹102.37 crore, compared to ₹71.92 crore in Q2 2025-26 and ₹72.58 crore in Q3 2024-25, with a PAT margin of 8.45%.
