Profit before tax excluding exceptional items rose 36.2%. Electrical consumer durables grew 19.4% with an 11.6% EBIT margin, lighting grew 14.3% and Butterfly 15.9%, while solar pumps slowed as an earlier government scheme tapered. Exports grew more than 70% to a record. Management has passed on about 80% of raw material inflation through price rises of 15% to 16% over six months, and says gross margin is largely restored.

Wires have been extended to four states, a solar rooftop business is in seven states, and a greenfield plant is being evaluated. The medium-term aim is an EBITDA margin of 11% to 12% by FY29. No earlier promises were on file for comparison.
