Bajaj Electricals' Q3FY26 earnings call shows mixed performance. The Lighting Solutions vertical delivered strong 9% revenue growth with EBIT margins improving to close to 7% (from 2% a year ago), driven by focus categories like ceiling and outdoor lights. Consumer Products revenue fell 25% as management deliberately cut primary billing to flush out elevated channel inventory, which has been reduced by roughly 30% in days. The company generated INR 211 crore in operating cash flow this quarter and ended with INR 620 crore in cash and equivalents. New adjacencies were launched in Switchgear, Solar Solutions, and Wires. A 2–5% price hike effective February 1 was taken to cover commodity inflation. Management said channel normalization should complete in about a quarter, with tangible benefits visible in FY27.
Near-term numbers will stay soft because of the Consumer Products cleanup, which hit margins through operating deleverage. However, management is guiding to margin improvement starting Q4FY26 and more meaningfully in FY27, backed by cost rationalization, lower carrying costs, and a healthier channel. Strong cash position and disciplined execution are positives, but recovery is back-end loaded.
