The company said both revenue and EBITDA were the highest in its history, supported by growing investments in artificial intelligence infrastructure and rising demand from hyperscale data centre operators and telecom companies.

The company also reported a net debt-free balance sheet during the quarter. AI demand drives record orders Sterlite Technologies said demand for AI-ready digital infrastructure has accelerated as hyperscalers expand data centre capacity, requiring significantly higher fibre density than conventional cloud infrastructure. The company secured several large, multi-year supply agreements with global hyperscalers and telecom operators during the first half of FY27. Among the major orders was a $1.2 billion, or Rs 11,500 crore, long-term agreement with a hyperscaler to supply optical connectivity products between calendar years 2026 and 2030. STL also received a $1.11 billion, or Rs 10,500 crore, product award letter from another hyperscaler for supplies between FY27 and FY29. Other contracts included a $288 million, or Rs 2,700 crore, deal for high-density optical fibre cables between 2027 and 2029, and a $210 million, or Rs 2,000 crore, agreement with a leading telecom infrastructure company for the same period. The company also signed a multi-year optical cable supply agreement worth Rs 960 crore with a major Indian telecom operator. The rising contribution of integrated connectivity solutions has supported its performance, with the optical connectivity attach rate reaching a record 24% during the first half of FY27. "Q2 FY27 is our best quarter yet, with the highest revenue and EBITDA in STL's history. It reflects the strength of demand for AI-ready digital infrastructure," said Ankit Agarwal, MD of Sterlite Technologies.
