Company Overview
Vidya Wires is not a consumer-facing house-wire brand. It is more of a B2B industrial wire and conductivity products manufacturer.
For retail investors, this IPO should be studied as a metal-linked B2B manufacturing, electrical equipment supply chain, power infrastructure and working capital management story.
IPORupee View: The company’s performance depends on copper and aluminium prices, customer demand from power and electrical sectors, capacity utilisation, supplier terms, receivable cycle, debt and ability to maintain margins in a commodity-linked business.

IPORupee Interpretation |
| Trade Receivable Days | 32 | 36 | 27 | 31 | Moderate receivable cycle |
| Inventory Days | 22 | 21 | 22 | 22 | Stable inventory management |
| Trade Payable Days | 5 | 2 | 2 | 2 | Low supplier credit |
| Inventory Turnover Ratio | 4.14 | 17.47 | 16.77 | 16.23 | Annual turnover strong; Q1 not comparable with full year |
| Debt to Equity Ratio | 0.91 | 0.88 | 0.87 | 0.97 | Debt is meaningful but stable |
Working Capital Watch Point
Vidya Wires has stable inventory days of around 21–22 days, which is positive. Trade receivable days are around 27–36 days, which looks manageable for a B2B business.
However, trade payable days are very low at 2–5 days, meaning the company may not get long credit from suppliers. This can increase working capital requirement because the company may need to pay suppliers quickly while receiving money from customers later.

Supplier Concentration Risk
Vidya Wires has high supplier concentration. Top 5 suppliers contributed 86.26% of purchases in FY2025 and 89.82% in Q1 FY2026.
This is understandable because copper and aluminium raw materials are sourced from large metal suppliers. But it creates supplier dependency risk. If supply is disrupted, pricing terms change, or credit terms become stricter, it can affect production and working capital.
