Company’s Managing Director, Raju Bista, said “We delivered a robust performance in Q2FY26, with strong growth across key parameters. Consolidated revenue grew 21% YoY to Rs 1,845 crore, while EBITDA rose 69% YoY to Rs 141 crore. PAT more than doubled, rising 117% YoY to Rs 74 crore, reflecting improved profitability across both business segments.

The Lighting & Consumer Durables business sustained steady growth with revenues rising 10% YoY to Rs 434 crore. Margins improved sequentially, driven by better product mix, strong festive demand, and continued traction in professional lighting.

The Steel Pipes business reported a robust 24% YoY revenue growth led by strong export momentum and higher share of value-added products. EBITDA more than doubled YoY to Rs 102 crore, supported by improved realizations and operational efficiencies.

To reward the shareholders, Board of Directors approved an Interim Dividend of Rs. 2.50 per share (50% of the face value of Rs. 5 per share)

With healthy capacity utilization across plants, a Rs 875 crore order book in Steel Pipes segment and Lighting and Consumer Durable segment, the company remains confident of maintaining its growth momentum in H2FY26.”

“In Lighting and Consumer Durables, we delivered a healthy performance in Q2FY26, supported by improved demand momentum during the festive season and healthy contribution from both lighting and durables categories. EBITDA margins expanding to 9.0% from 7.7% in Q1 reflect better operating leverage and cost control.

Our lighting portfolio delivered a robust performance. In Q2FY26, LED lamps recorded a strong 37% growth versus last year. Battens also grew by 36% in Q2, while the downlighter category saw a notable 22% growth. Street lighting was the standout performer, growing an impressive 104% in Q2 on a year-on-year basis. Professional Lighting business grew by 25% in Q2FY26, supported by strong demand across solar, facade, industrial, and both indoor and outdoor segment.

Price erosion in the LED category continued across the industry, though its intensity has reduced over the past two quarters. The market remains competitive, but our strong backward integration, diversified product mix, and cost efficiencies have helped us maintain profitability.

In our Consumer Durable portfolio, fans and appliances witnessed a relatively muted performance in the first half due to climatic factors, though we expect a strong rebound in the second half. During the quarter, we achieved an important milestone by launching our first digital water heater, reflecting our focus on innovation, modernization and enhanced customer comfort. We also began in-house manufacturing of exhaust fans and induction appliances, further strengthening our cost control, design capability and delivery timelines.

The domestic wire business, which we had soft-launched in August, has received excellent feedback on product quality, pricing, and performance. We remain on track to achieve our FY26 revenue guidance of Rs 150 crore. Overall, we remain confident of achieving our full-year guidance for the Lighting and Consumer Durables business for a top line of Rs 1,850–Rs 1,900 crore and EBITDA of about Rs 180 crore.”

“In the Steel Pipes and Strips, we delivered a strong performance during Q2FY26, marked by healthy rebound in volumes and significant improvement in profitability, despite a challenging operating environment. Revenue for the quarter grew 24% year-on-year to Rs 1,411 crore, driven by a 26% increase in overall volumes and an improved product mix.

EBITDA rose sharply by 113% year-on-year to Rs 102 crore, while on a sequential basis too EBITDA nearly doubled, reflecting strong operational execution and price discipline. EBITDA per ton stood at approximately Rs 5,013, compared to Rs 2,901 in Q2FY25 - representing a 73% year-on-year increase & Rs 2,922 in the previous quarter - representing a 72% sequential increase

This robust performance improvement was achieved despite several external headwinds, including an extended monsoon across many parts of the country, which impacted demand and delayed project execution. The GI Pipes segment, which primarily caters to agriculture, was particularly affected. Extended rainfall and limited fund releases from the central government to state agencies delayed agricultural and rural infrastructure projects, resulting in muted domestic demand for GI pipes. However, this was more than offset by encouraging traction in the API and Cold Rolled (CR) strip categories as well as by a sharp uptick in exports.

Domestic volumes, too, grew by about 22% year-on-year, supported by improved performance in the API and CR segments. Within product categories, API pipe volumes grew by nearly 86% year-on-year in Q2, supported by orders from private oil and gas players. However, the pace of tendering from PSUs remained slow, as the central government temporarily redirected funding towards defence and other strategic areas.

Our export business recorded an impressive 45% year-on-year growth in volume and a 29% increase in value, driven by strong demand from European and Canadian buyers who pre-poned purchases ahead of the implementation of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and quotas. This prebuying helped us deliver the highest-ever Q2 volumes in the company’s history.

Looking ahead, we see a much-improved outlook for H2FY26. Demand is expected to recover with the pick-up in government project execution, especially as departments rush to utilize budgetary allocations before year-end. Agricultural demand should revive in the next few months as rainfall recedes. Also, the recent reduction in GST on key consumer and industrial products has started to improve overall consumption sentiment. We also expect demand for construction steel to strengthen as the liquidity of cement and steel supply chains normalizes post the GST rate cut.”

Vinay Surya – Managing Director said, “In Lighting and Consumer Durables, we delivered yet another quarter of solid performance, reflecting the strength of our diversified product portfolio and strong distribution reach. The sustained margin recovery also underscores our focus on operational efficiency, disciplined cost management and the growing contribution from higher-value product categories.

Our capacity utilization levels remained healthy across all product lines. Across our lighting manufacturing units, the glass, cap, and tube assembly lines operated at around 90% utilization, while LED lines ran close to full capacity. Overall, our average utilization stood close to 90%, higher than both Q1FY26 and Q2FY25, indicating strong execution momentum.

Our PLI-linked investments have also been completed well ahead of schedule. We have already invested the full Rs 25 crore. The benefits of this investment are visible in terms of improved quality, enhanced design capabilities, better serviceability and increased customer trust. On the sustainability front, we have commenced installation of 3 MW of captive solar capacity across our lighting facilities at Malanpur and Kashipur, involving an investment of around Rs 10 crore. This initiative will meet around 40% of these plants’ power requirements, leading to cost savings while also reinforcing our commitment to renewable energy and green manufacturing.

The monoblock pump business is progressing as planned, and we are confident of achieving our Rs 25 crore topline target for the year through channel expansion and network strengthening. Exports have also started contributing meaningfully to our growth story. In FY26, in lighting exports, we are targeting export revenues of around Rs 65 crore — a growth of nearly 30–35%.

Looking ahead, our focus will remain on driving innovation, deepening distribution, enhancing exports and exploring synergistic diversification opportunities in allied domains such as renewable energy.”

“In the Steel Pipes and Strips, we posted a marked improvement in operating performance during the second quarter, with both revenue and profitability registering strong growth on a year-on-year as well as sequential basis. Export performance was a standout this quarter, growing 45% year-on-year and enabling us to achieve the highest-ever Q2 volumes in the company’s history.

Operationally, capacity utilization stood at around 80% during the quarter and we expect this to rise in the second half as demand momentum strengthens. Despite some pressure from falling steel prices during the quarter, we managed our inventory well. There was inventory loss of around Rs 500 per ton, primarily due to price correction in July. However, this was more than offset by improved realizations and higher operating efficiencies.

During the quarter, we also made progress on several strategic cost and capacity initiatives. In-line with our strategic decision, a 1 MW rooftop solar plant is being installed at our Bahadurgarh facility, which will meet around 15% of the plant’s power requirement and contribute to reducing our fixed cost base. We are also implementing manpower optimization and productivity enhancement measures, expected to lower fixed costs by about 7–9%.

Overall, this quarter reflects a strong turnaround for our Steel Pipes and Strips business, marked by record exports, sharp improvement in profitability, and continued momentum in value-added and highend product categories. With a solid order book, operational efficiencies, and new capacities coming onstream, we are well positioned for sustained performance improvement in coming months. However, we prudently recalibrate our full-year volume guidance to around 10 lakh tonnes, reflecting a balanced outlook grounded in realistic near-term demand trends and the visibility of stronger execution in the second half.”

  • PAT: Rs 90 crore compared to Rs 90 crore during Q3FY24.

Raju Bista, Managing Director, said: “We are pleased to have delivered a resilient performance in Q3FY25, despite macroeconomic headwinds. The consolidated revenue stood at Rs 1,868 crore, reflecting a marginal decline of 4% YoY, primarily impacted by the steel pipes segment due to softened steel prices. However, EBITDA margin remained stable at 8.33%, underscoring our cost discipline and operational efficiency.

Overall, despite challenges in the steel segment, we continue to demonstrate steadfastness through product diversification, cost optimization, and strategic growth initiatives, positioning itself well for an improved performance in the coming quarters.”

Vinay Surya, Managing Director said: “In Lighting and Consumer Durables, we have delivered another quarter of resilient growth, reinforcing our leadership position in the market. We continue to drive business expansion through innovation, cost optimization, and a strong distribution network, allowing us to navigate sectoral headwinds effectively.

“In the Steel Pipes and Strips, we experienced a volume growth of 8% year-on-year in Q3FY25. While revenue in this segment was down 8% year-on-year at Rs 1,417 crore, compared to Rs 1,536 crore last year, we are pleased with the strong sequential recovery, as revenue increased by approximately 25% from Rs 1,135 crore in the previous quarter. Thus, despite headwinds, the company has demonstrated resilience by focusing on volume growth, optimizing product mix, and enhancing profitability in key segments. Current capacity utilization in Q3FY25 stood at 78-80%, and for 9MFY25 it was ~72% due to the significant volume decline in Q2FY25. The current steel prices are at a five-year low, and we believe further declines are unlikely.

Bharat Bhushan Singal, CFO said: For the quarter, the revenue was Rs 1,868 crore as compared to Rs 1,938 crore.

Iron & Steel Products company Surya Roshni announced Q2FY25 results

  • Revenue: Rs 1,529 crore compared to Rs 1,916 crore during Q2FY24, change -20% YoY.
  • EBITDA: Rs 83 crore compared to Rs 139 crore during Q2FY24, change -40%.
  • PBT: Rs 46 crore compared to Rs 104 crore during Q2FY24, change -56%.
  • PAT: Rs 34 crore compared to Rs 76 crore during Q2FY24, change -55%.

Raju Bista, Managing Director, said: “In Q2FY25, posed several challenges for the company’s businesses due to seasonal factors, price volatility, and geopolitical tensions affecting export markets. Nonetheless, the company has managed these headwinds through stringent operational efficiencies and proactive capacity expansion, which are expected to support gradual improvement in both domestic and export markets. Due to external economic factors, the company faced a challenging Q2FY25, with consolidated revenue stood at Rs 1,529 crores. Strategic initiatives in operational efficiency, high-margin product focus, and regional market expansion are expected to support improved performance in the second half of the fiscal year.”

“In Lighting and Consumer Durables, we faced a challenging environment during Q2FY25, with significant headwinds in form of price erosion in LED lighting products and adverse weather conditions, including floods and rains across various regions. These external factors limited consumer and professional lighting demand. But despite these challenges, the segment demonstrated resilience. The topline of this vertical increased by 5% YoY in Q2FY25 on back of healthy volume growth in several subsegments, even though steep price erosion in LED products limited overall growth.

In Lighting segment, price erosion in LED was notably severe, which affected the segment's margins. However, the company successfully maintained margin stability through cost innovation and an increased focus on higher-margin products. Volume growth was recorded in high-wattage battens, downlighters, and panel sales within the LED segment, which helped to cushion the impact of price declines.

Professional lighting continued its positive momentum with a high single digit growth in Q2FY25 and double-digit growth rate in H1FY25. The segment faced some delays in project decisions due to the recent general elections, but a strong order book, provides optimism for sustained performance. The professional lighting segment, backed by a healthy order book and scheduled project executions, is expected to contribute significantly to Q3FY25.

In the Appliance segment, particularly water heaters, showed excellent volume growth. The company also launched products in mixer grinders and irons. The positive response to our newly launched Mono Block residential pumps, initially targeted for the northern and central markets, has prompted us to plan for further geographic expansion.

Seasonal preparations for the festive period, beginning with Onam and extending through Diwali, were integral to the business strategy in Q2FY25. Extensive product launches and promotional activities were timed for this season, which included social media campaigns, dealer meets, and point-of-sale enhancements.

We are optimistic about the upcoming quarters, expecting improved performance in professional lighting and consumer appliances on account of demand due to the festive season. We continue to aim for revenue growth close to 12% for FY25, with a cautiously optimistic outlook for EBITDA margin. Our expansion efforts in consumer durables and increasing geographical presence in semi-urban markets are anticipated to further strengthen our market position and instill resilience against ongoing price pressures.”

“In the Steel Pipes and Strips, the company recorded a revenue decline of 26% YoY for Q2FY25 at Rs 1,135 crore. Market hesitancy due to declining steel prices led distributors and dealers to scale back on inventory holdings, impacting topline performance. Additionally, the fall in sales can also be attributed to seasonality, as excessive rains led to reduced demand across various product lines.

A significant headwind this quarter was the sharp reduction in steel HR prices, by Rs 7,500 per ton during the quarter ended Q2FY25. This price drop not only dampened demand, as stockists and distributors delayed purchases, but also exerted considerable pressure on profitability, eroding EBITDA by an estimated Rs 3,000 per ton on account of inventory valuation adjustments. However, through rigorous operational efficiencies, the company managed to stabilize its EBITDA per ton at Rs 2,901. Value-added products continued to constitute about 45% of total revenue in H1FY25.

While demand in the API pipes segment remained subdued due to limited government tendering activity, the Spiral Pipes segment exhibited robust performance, supported by strong order inflows, particularly in the water pipe segment. The order book for spiral pipes remains healthy. The spiral plant at Malanpur (Gwalior), which is expected to commence operations in the coming month, has already secured a six-month order backlog.

Galvanized Pipes segment faced a challenging quarter, recording a 28% YoY decline. Demand was particularly impacted by the monsoon. However, we anticipate a recovery in the upcoming quarters as seasonal conditions normalize. The ERW segment saw a YoY contraction in volume, influenced by lower inventory levels held by distributors amidst falling steel prices. The CR Strips segment demonstrated modest growth, with volumes increasing by 5% in Q2FY25.

Export volumes declined, primarily due to geopolitical tensions in key markets, notably the Middle East. Despite these challenges, we remain confident in the potential for export recovery over the next six months, as demand stabilizes both domestically and internationally."
Vinay Surya – Managing Director said: “In Lighting and Consumer Durables, we presented a more resilient performance with a 5% YoY growth in revenue in Q2FY25. This was achieved despite facing headwinds on account of steep price erosion in LED products as well as adverse weather conditions impacting demand across various regions. The company managed to protect margins through a focus on high-margin and premium products, along with continuous cost-innovation efforts, which countered the impact of price erosion.

Consumer Lighting saw steady demand despite price erosion in LED products. However, our new launches across high-wattage battens, downlighters, and panels, contributed to both volume and margin growth.

The Professional Lighting sub-segment grew in healthy double digits in H1FY25, driven by a strong order book and major projects are set to commence execution in Q3.

In the Consumer Appliances category, the water heaters particularly saw strong seasonal demand.

We also had preparations in place for the festive season launches extending from Onam to Diwali, which should reflect in our Q3FY25 results. Ahead of the Diwali season, the company invested in a significant marketing campaign, especially on social media, emphasizing decorative lighting. Furthermore, we held dealers and electricians meets to showcase new products and provided merchandising materials to enhance visibility at the point of sale. These initiatives were aimed at stimulating demand and ensuring that dealers were well-prepared to serve customers during the high-demand festive period.

Additionally, regional trends indicate stronger growth in semi-urban and rural markets over urban areas, with premium products gaining traction outside metro markets. Our focus in expanding premium offerings and strengthening our presence in semi-urban and rural markets are expected to provide tailwinds. We remain optimistic for Q3 and Q4, driven by a robust order pipeline in the professional lighting segment and sustained demand in consumer durables.”

“In the Steel Pipes and Strips, the price corrections in steel over the three months of Q2FY25 significantly led to the overall revenue decline, as dealers delayed their purchases. To mitigate the impact of declining prices, we implemented rigorous cost management strategies and operational efficiencies.

The recent upward trend in steel prices provides an optimistic outlook for margin improvement. Steel prices rose by 3% over October and November, and this pricing trajectory is expected to support enhanced profitability across product segments.

Our value-added product portfolio continues to contribute significantly, maintaining a 45% share of total sales in H1FY25. With the commissioning of the new Spiral plant, we anticipate an increase upto 50% in coming years in this share, underscoring our focus on value addition.

The ERW mill in Bahadurgarh, operational since July, has already achieved a production output of 7,000 tons. The Bahadurgarh cold rolling expansion and Spiral plant in Gwalior are on track to commence operations, with turnover contributions beginning in Q4FY25. The Hindupur facility expansion is underway with an initial capex allocation of Rs 25–30 crore, while the Anjar facility expansion will proceed following a technical review with suppliers. Full operations at Hindupur facility are projected to begin in 12 months. These strategic investments, aligned with our focus on efficiency and capacity, are anticipated to strengthen the operational backbone of the Steel Pipe segment.

Q2FY25 presented a unique set of challenges across various sub-segments of the Steel Pipe business. While market dynamics, price volatility, and geopolitical factors impacted performance, our proactive operational adjustments, coupled with strategic expansions and efficiency initiatives, reinforce a positive outlook for the coming quarters. With a focus on executing our capex projects and leveraging favorable trade conditions, we remain well-positioned to drive growth and value creation in the Steel Pipe business.”

Similarly, EBITDA/MT stood at Rs 4,653 compared to Rs 4,758. EBITDA and PBT stood at Rs 172 crore and Rs 117 crore as against Rs 187 crore and Rs 131 crore, respectively.

Improved capacity utilization, working capital optimization and cost rationalization enabled us to become a zero-debt company, and having cash surplus of Rs 136 crore in H1FY25.”

We anticipate that our continued focus on technology and product development, as well as our strategic market expansions, will lead to consistent growth and profitability in the coming fiscal years.”

Adding further, Vinay Surya – Managing Director said, “In Lighting and Consumer Durables, we recorded a growth of 3% in Q1FY25. Almost all business segments registered double-digit volume growth. The gross margins expanded across most segments due to a better margin mix and effective cost management strategies. High-capacity utilization at our manufacturing plants, has positively impacted EBITDA through better operational efficiency.

There is a growing preference for energy-efficient, high-quality, and aesthetically pleasing products among consumers.

Our comprehensive go-to-market (GTM) strategy includes leveraging existing distribution channels and exploring new avenues to reach consumers. We employ multiple GTM approaches to cater to different product categories, ensuring effective reach and penetration across various market segments.

We recognize the critical role that the in-shop experience plays in influencing consumer perceptions and driving sales. Over the quarters, we have intensified our efforts to enhance the in-shop experience across our retail outlets. We see it as a crucial component of our marketing strategy, contributing to the overall performance and growth of the company. Strategic display of our products at over 2,000 retail points ensures high visibility and availability of our offerings. We also have regular engagement exercises with retailers across different parts of the country to strengthen relationships and ensure product availability. These initiatives have already shown positive results, with marked improvements in customer satisfaction and increased sales.

Commenting on the results, Company’s Managing Director, Raju Bista, said “The overall performance of the company in FY24 has been satisfactory given the headwinds in both our business verticals of Steel Pipe business & Lighting and Consumer Durable business. We firmly believe that these headwinds are temporary, and the company is poised for sustained growth in both the businesses.

EBITDA for FY24 stood at Rs 586 crore as compared to Rs 620 crore last year. There was slight dip in our overall EBITDA margins primarily on account of significant dip in operating margin of steel pipes business which was slightly offset by improved margins in lighting and consumer durable business. We registered PAT of Rs 329 crore in FY24, similar to what we had recorded in FY23.”

“In Lighting and Consumer Durables, we experienced good results in FY24. Overall sales witnessed a growth of 2% and EBITDA increased by 23% in FY24 as compared to previous year, signaling improved operational efficiency and effective cost management.

Our professional lighting segment notably grew in Q4FY24 by approximately 20%, demonstrating strong market acceptance and a robust order book. Consumer durables, including fans, water heaters, irons, kitchen appliances, and festival lighting products, all posted double-digit growth, reflecting high consumer satisfaction and market penetration.

Throughout the year, our focus on design quality and manufacturing excellence has significantly reduced warranty related costs for LED products, placing us at the forefront of industry standards. Both lighting plants met productivity targets, benefiting from numerous automation and process improvement projects. This focus on operational efficiency not only enhanced our performance metrics but also supported our profitability, with EBITDA margins improving from 7.9% to 9.6% over the fiscal year.

Despite a challenging market environment with subdued demand for consumer durable products in the last quarter, our engagement strategies with over 25,000 key retailers and innovative marketing activations have kept our brand highly visible and competitive. The introduction of new product lines, particularly in the premium category, has successfully enriched our product mix, further bolstering our market standing.

Looking forward, we expect the lighting and consumer durables industry to continue experiencing growth, driven by increasing consumer aspirations and government spending on infrastructure. Our strong position in both B2C and B2B segments, along with our focus on high-quality, innovative products, positions us well to capitalize on these opportunities. Our ongoing investments in technology and product development, along with strategic market expansions, are expected to drive sustained growth and profitability in the upcoming fiscal years.”

“In the Steel Pipes and Strips, the company achieved the highest ever quarterly volumes despite challenging market conditions and electoral season. However, the company demonstrated resilience, managing only a slight dip in sales revenues due to decline in steel prices. This success is attributed to our strong presence in the API pipes segment and robust export performance, which collectively constituted 29% of our total volume sales. The downturn in steel prices led to an EBITDA/Ton of Rs5,877, on account of muted value-added product sales & loss in inventory.

The current Government’s 2024 manifesto has given a lot of impetus to infrastructure projects which includes overbridges, new airports and railway station redevelopment. The designs of these projects are such that it will generate robust demand for DFT pipes. The manifesto also includes a promise to expand city gas distribution (CGD) networks across India, which will drive growth. We also expect healthy volume growth in API pipes business as well. We also supply GI section pipes to solar utility projects, which are likely to witness rampant installation over the upcoming years.

We are actively expanding our operational capacity - aimed at increasing our monthly production capacity by 12,000 to 15,000 tons - to meet anticipated market demand. These expansions will enhance our ability to serve growing market needs, particularly in water infrastructure and energy sectors. With steel prices stabilizing and the government’s increased focus on infrastructure development, we expect healthy demand across our product lines.

Our strong order book of Rs800 crore, particularly in the oil & gas and water sectors, along with a solid export portfolio, underscores the company's robust financial health and operational efficiency. Improved working capital cycles and strategic raw material sourcing further strengthen our market position. We will continue to innovate, adapt, and grow, driven by a commitment to excellence and sustainability.”
