Whirlpool India Q1 Profit Falls 29% Amid Revenue Growth and Rising Costs
Whirlpool of India reported a 29.4% decline in consolidated net profit to around Rs 103 crore in Q1 FY27 despite a 12% increase in revenue to approximately Rs 2,727 crore. Profit before tax fell to about Rs 139 crore. The company attributed the profit drop to higher costs, including raw materials, employee expenses, commodity inflation, and new energy regulations. Revenue growth was supported by market share gains and premium product offerings, while cost-efficiency measures partially offset rising expenses.
