HFCL Limited has signed a significant five-year agreement to supply high-count optical fibre cables (OFC) to a major global multinational customer. The contract, valued at approximately $1.10 billion (equivalent to around ₹10,159 crore), will run from calendar year 2026 through December 2030.
Under the deal, HFCL will deliver multi-million fibre kilometre quantities of advanced, high-fibre-count optical fibre cables annually. These cables are critical for hyperscale data centres, AI infrastructure, cloud computing networks, long-haul telecom backbones, and 5G/6G expansions worldwide. The agreement was executed through HFCL’s overseas wholly owned subsidiary and provides the company with strong multi-year revenue visibility and order book stability.
The long-term nature of the contract underscores the growing global demand for high-capacity fibre infrastructure driven by artificial intelligence, data centre expansion, and next-generation connectivity. HFCL highlighted that the order reaffirms international confidence in its manufacturing capabilities, product quality, and ability to meet stringent technical specifications of large global buyers.
To support the increased demand, HFCL is actively expanding its optical fibre cable production capacity from the current 30.5 million fibre km per year to 42.36 million fibre km by June 2026. This ramp-up will help ensure smooth execution and position the company to capture further growth in the booming global OFC market.
The deal is expected to have a positive impact on HFCL’s financials, with steady revenue inflows over the next five years and improved capacity utilisation. It also strengthens HFCL’s standing as a reliable global supplier in the telecom and data infrastructure space amid rising investments in digital connectivity worldwide.
