This dedication to quality is reflected in every aspect of the company's operations creating a brand awareness among the customers for making quality standard products.
• RR Kabel operates with a focus on safety, quality, and continuous innovation, along with a strong distribution network and connection with electricians, and its digital and physical marketing helping it to develop brand recognition among the customers and in the consumer electrical industry as well.

Risks:

• One of the highest risks for RR Kabel is operating in this industry with a highly competitive environment where other players like Havels, Finolex Cables, KEI Ind, Polycab India, Crompton Greaves Consumer, Bajaj Electricals and V-Guard Ind are selling the range of the similar products at very competitive price range.
• Maintaining control of production is another big challenge for the company, as it is operating with 6% operating margins that have come down in the last 3 years making it difficult for the company to generate cash flow if operating margins do not improve in the coming years.

It could be a challenge if it can continue to enter into a similar distribution agreement with its material overseas distributors on similarly favourable terms.
• At the financial end, though the revenue of the company has grown well, the operating profit and net earnings of the company have not grown at the same pace. The cost of materials is rising, company is unable to control the same denting its operating as well as net profit margins is another concerning factor for the company.
