BlueStone shines with 39 percent growth and strong margins

Market pulse

Indian markets ended a sluggish session with a slight dip, as losses in the technology sector overshadowed modest gains in pharmaceuticals. While the broader indices barely moved, individual stocks saw sharp action, with Karur Vysya Bank and M&M Financial Services posting strong gains against notable declines in ABSL AMC and Aegis Logistics.

From the investor's mind

Aditya Kondawar highlights Polycab's significant opportunity in India's burgeoning data center market, noting that the country's data center capacity is projected to grow from 1.8 GW to between 8 and 18 GW. Polycab estimates that each megawatt of data center capacity translates to roughly ₹3.5 crore worth of cables, with 50 to 60 percent being conventional cables. This indicates a substantial addressable market for Polycab in providing critical infrastructure for the expanding digital economy.

An impressive same store sales growth of 39 percent caught the market’s attention.
