Management Comments
Mr. Gautam Seth
Joint MD & CFO
Our Q1 FY26 performance reflects disciplined execution and our focus on growth. While revenue moderated slightly year on year, profitability improved across the board. The Consumer and Industrial franchise provided the primary uplift, with net revenue up 16.12 % and EBIT up 22.95 %, helped by offtake in domestic switchgear and wires and cables, and tighter operating discipline that widened margins. I’m pleased to note that our Consumer and Industrial business is coming into its own as a granular, domestically anchored franchise that serves both B2B and B2C electrical demand.
