Crompton reported Q3 FY26 consolidated revenue of ₹1,898 crore, up ~7% YoY, with EBITDA margin expanding to 10.3% (up 185bps QoQ). Growth was driven by ECD (up 8% YoY) and lighting (up 7% YoY), with strong performance in solar pumps (revenue more than doubled YoY) and BLC fans (50%+ sequential growth). Butterfly delivered steady revenue of ₹245 crore (+3% YoY) with EBITDA margin expanding ~100bps YoY to 8.2% and PAT up 44% YoY. Management announced entry into residential wires, targeting a ₹36,000-37,000 crore market, with products launching in select markets within 6-7 weeks. The BEE 2.0 fan transition was executed seamlessly. Guidance includes two more rounds of price hikes in Q4 and Q1 to offset commodity inflation. Risk: sustained commodity cost pressure could delay margin recovery if pricing actions fall short.
क्रॉम्पटन ने तीसरी तिमाही में 1,898 करोड़ रुपये की कमाई की, जो पिछले साल से 7% ज्यादा है। कंपनी का मुनाफा (EBITDA) 10.3% हो गया, जो पिछली तिमाही से 1.85% बढ़ा। इसकी वजह इलेक्ट्रिक उपकरण (8% बढ़ोतरी) और लाइटिंग (7% बढ़ोतरी) की बिक्री है। सोलर पंपों की बिक्री दोगुनी हो गई और BLC पंखों की बिक्री 50% बढ़ी। बटरफ्लाई ने 245 करोड़ रुपये की कमाई की, जो 3% ज्यादा है, और मुनाफा 44% बढ़ा। कंपनी अब घरों में तार बेचेगी, जो 36,000-37,000 करोड़ रुपये का बाजार है। अगले 6-7 हफ्तों में कुछ शहरों में उत्पाद आएंगे। कंपनी ने कच्चे माल की बढ़ती कीमतों के कारण अगली दो तिमाहियों में कीमतें बढ़ाने का फैसला किया है।
