Havells India Q2 Profit Rises 9.7% on 34.6% Revenue Growth Amid Margin Pressures
Havells India reported a 9.7% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to Rs 349.22 crore for Q2 FY27, supported by a 34.6% increase in revenue to Rs 6,432 crore. Growth was broad-based across segments like cables, switchgears, lighting, and consumer durables, despite margin pressures from raw material inflation and competition. The company plans 5-7% price hikes in Q3 to offset costs. Analysts remain mixed, with some lowering earnings estimates due to margin concerns, while others maintain positive long-term outlooks.
