Expansion and Capacity Growth: The company is nearing completion of a major capex program, boosting its installed capacity from 39,400 TPA to around 49,000 TPA. This expansion is expected to drive higher volumes and revenue, catering to robust demand from power, auto, and consumer durables sectors.
Strong Financials: With total operating income surpassing ₹3,000 crore in FY23 and continued growth in the current fiscal, Precision Wires maintains a healthy balance sheet and a track record of servicing top-tier OEM clients in India and globally.
Strategic Rationale: The planned fundraising will provide the necessary capital to complete ongoing projects, invest in new technology, and further consolidate the company’s leadership in the organized copper winding wires industry.
Shareholder Engagement: The company has a history of transparent communication with shareholders, regularly seeking approval for key strategic moves and ensuring broad participation in its growth journey.

With this fundraising initiative, Precision Wires India is poised to capitalize on sector tailwinds and reinforce its position as a market leader in the non-ferrous metals space.
