Revenue guidance

Category 3
  • The solar rooftop order book of Rs.500 crore is expected to be executed over the next 9 to 12 months, with revenue already started (Rs.19 crore recognized last quarter) and ramping up further (Page 15, 12, 5).
  • The Agri and specialty pump business is growing significantly faster than the industry and becoming a material part of the pumps business, contributing to margin improvements (Page 15).
  • Wires business (residential segment) recently launched and expected to be available in select markets within 6-7 weeks, with ambitions to gain fair to leadership share in a large Rs.36,000-37,000 crore market over the medium term (Page 5, 8).
  • Overall company aims for continuous revenue growth across core and new categories like solar, lighting premiumization, and Butterfly premium products (Page 15, 14, 12).
  • Strong focus on scale, product mix improvement, and premiumization underpin volume and revenue growth expectations (Page 15).

Margin guidance

Category 3
  • Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals is focused on scaling new and existing businesses such as solar rooftop, solar pumps, and residential wires, expanding addressable markets and leadership positions.
  • The company expects continued margin improvement through cost optimization programs like UNNATI, product premiumization, and price increases (two further hikes planned in Q4 FY26 and Q1 FY27).
  • Growth is supported by strong execution in core categories (fans, lighting, pumps), with solar pump revenues more than doubling YoY and solar rooftop ramping up order execution over 9-12 months.
  • Margin trajectory is expected to improve gradually, aided by product mix, cost efficiencies, and calibrated pricing amidst commodity inflation.
  • New category expansions (e.g., wires) are cautiously capital allocated with a clear strategy and expected to gain significant market share over medium term.
  • Overall, sequential revenue growth, margin expansion, and market share gains underpin confident medium-term earnings and profit growth expectations.
