What Finolex Cables does

Indian maker of electrical wires and communication cables (house wiring, LAN/telecom cables), part of the Finolex Group.

Sells most of its wires through dealers to electricians and builders, so brand trust and dealer reach decide volumes; copper is the main raw material, and selling prices follow the metal. It also holds a sizeable stake in Finolex Industries, the listed PVC pipe maker, outside its core business.
