Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Limited reported strong 10.8% year-on-year revenue growth for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The company successfully navigated persistent cost pressures through calibrated pricing actions and cost optimization initiatives. Performance was bolstered by industry-leading growth in the lighting and kitchen appliance segments, with the Butterfly business showing a significant 17% revenue increase. Despite an impairment charge, the company remains focused on its ‘Crompton 2.0’ growth strategy and premiumization.
Financial Performance Overview

For the full fiscal year 2026, the company recorded a consolidated revenue of ₹8,096 crore.

Strategic Initiatives and Market Outlook
As part of its ‘Crompton 2.0’ strategy, the company continues to focus on premiumization, supply chain excellence, and digital enablement. Notable developments include the launch of ‘Crompton Armor’ residential wires, which has already seen a retail rollout in select cities. The company has also made significant strides in product innovation, launching 57 new projects across various categories during the year.
Looking ahead, Crompton expects the ongoing heatwaves to continue supporting demand for its cooling appliances.
