Management Comments
Ravindra Singh Negi
Despite seasonal headwinds, we delivered a resilient performance in Q1, with improvements in EBITDA margins and marginal growth in our topline. Our strategic focus on premiumization and portfolio balancing continues to guide our efforts, especially as we expand our presence in high potential categories. The Lighting and Switchgear businesses remain strong growth drivers, and we are taking focused steps to scale them further. We are also seeing encouraging traction in Electrical Consumer Durables, particularly with our new premium BLDC fan offerings. We believe that in relative terms our performance would be better than market given our market share gains during the quarter in both Fans and Lighting. With improving consumer sentiment and festive stocking expected in Q2, we remain optimistic about demand revival in the coming months.
