The company's Appliance business continued to deliver excellent growth based on superior consumer offerings in core categories viz. geysers, mixer grinders and irons. Lighting business continued to deliver double digit EBIT margin driven by B2C (business-to-consumer) growth of 19%, it added.
Shantanu Khosla, managing director, said: ECD (electrical consumer durables) segment delivered strong growth across categories and geographies. B2C LED lighting business maintained its upward growth trajectory backed by commensurate value growth. While commodity cost pressures sustained, timely actions have largely mitigated their impact and restored margins.
