02 · Why it moved
Why the quarter looked the way it did
What drove margins
The Services business (including Essentials, Accessories, and repair services covering refrigerators and other products) grew by around 17% in Q1 and operates at double-digit PBT margins.
Management stated they were unable to pass on the bulk of commodity and forex cost increases directly to consumers through price hikes in order to preserve competitive positioning in the market.
Front-load washing machine models were streamlined from 55-57 down to 24-25, reducing overall SKUs by nearly half, which successfully simplified counter displays, inventory management, and manufacturing changeover times.
03 · Demand, customers & order book
Where demand is coming from
In Q1 FY27, top-load washing machine volume growth was in excess of 20%, front-load grew at 9% to 10%, and room air conditioners (RAC) grew at 6% to 8%.
The company consciously avoided carrying forward older-rated AC inventory and cleared it by January, missing out on lower-priced legacy inventory advantages as new-rating products priced 10% to 15% higher entered the market.
04 · Capacity, projects & execution
What is being built, commissioned or delivered
Capacity, production and utilisation
The Engineering division exceeded budget on sales with 17% growth in Q1, meeting all key performance indicators (KPIs) for the period.
Current air conditioner manufacturing capacity stands at approximately 75,000 units per month, utilized at around 85% during peak months. Through debottlenecking and automation, capacity can be expanded to 80,000 units per month without adding shifts.
Total full-year capex is budgeted at INR 110 crores. Stamping division expansion plans targeting INR 1,000 crores in business utilize land acquired in Gujarat, Gurgaon, and Bangalore, though the Tata battery project is temporarily on hold pending review by the Tata Group.
05 · Reported developments
What changed operationally
The company recorded an 18% revenue growth in HAD for Q1 FY27, moving closer to its 20% growth target, supported by robust ground-level channel execution, increased counter placements, and better extraction.
Cost-saving initiatives yielded approximately INR 42 crores to INR 43 crores in Q1 FY27, contributing to a total realized benefit of around INR 112 crores to INR 115 crores when combined with prior periods.
06 · Pressure points & risks
What is not going smoothly
The company continues to experience severe strain from high commodity prices and unfavorable foreign exchange movements, with gross margins contracting by about 160 basis points due to higher material costs.
The Steel business faced a loss-making quarter due to a sharp raw material price increase of around INR 4,125 per metric ton over the last 6 months, which is only passable to customers from subsequent quarters.
07 · Management guidance & targets
What management is targeting from here
Management maintains a long-term aspiration of achieving approximately 20% annual sales growth across business segments.
The annual cost savings target is projected at INR 120 crores to INR 150 crores for the year, while long-term PBDIT margins for the Home Appliances division are targeted at early double digits.
