Havells India Reports Strong Q1 Revenue Growth Amid Margin Pressure
Havells India reported nearly 20% year-on-year revenue growth to ₹6,518 crore in Q1FY27, driven by strong performance in cables and renewables segments. However, EBITDA margins declined 230 basis points to 7.2% due to increased raw material costs and doubled advertising expenses. Management expects margin recovery in coming quarters through price hikes and normalized marketing spends. Analysts remain positive on long-term prospects but note risks from cost pressures and earnings downgrades.
