Quarter read
What the record says.
Lumax Industries reported its best-ever quarterly performance in Q3 FY26, with revenue of ₹1,053 crore (up 18.7% YoY) and EBITDA margin expanding 260 bps YoY to 10.6%. The strong results were driven by robust manufacturing revenue growth of 35.8% YoY, operating leverage, and an exceptional tooling profitability of ~₹10 crore. LED lighting now contributes 61% of revenue (vs 52% last year), and the order book stands at ₹1,759 crore, with 81% LED-based. Management guided for 20%+ revenue growth in FY27 and progressive margin expansion toward 12% over two years. Capex for FY26 was revised up to ₹350-400 crore due to preloading for the Bangalore plant. Key risk: sustainability of double-digit margins given cyclical tooling income and potential forex volatility.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management expects revenue growth of 20%+ in FY27, driven by new product launches and industry growth.
- FY26 capex revised up to ₹350-400 crore due to preloading; FY27 capex expected at ₹100-150 crore.
- Management aims to progressively expand EBITDA margins, targeting ~12% over the next two years.
- Chakan Phase 2 facility to start production in March/April 2026, contributing ₹250-300 crore revenue in FY27.
Risks flagged
- Q3 margins benefited from exceptional tooling profitability (~₹10 crore); normalized margins may be lower.
- Previous quarter had 70-80 bps forex impact; management noted no material impact this quarter but remains a risk.
- LED modules remain largely imported, limiting localization benefits and exposing to supply chain and currency risks.
- FY26 capex revised up to ₹350-400 crore due to preloading; net debt/EBITDA expected to reduce but near-term cash flow may be impacted.
Key quotes
- We are proudly reporting our best quarterly performance in the history of our operations.
- We safely probably secured in the double-digit EBITDA margins... we are pretty confident that we'll get there (12-13%).
- LED lighting contributes over 61% of our revenue compared to 52% in the same quarter last year. We expect this share to increase further.
