Appliances and Faucets Division Initiatives
The Appliances division demonstrated robust growth in Q2 FY26, with value increasing by 25.5% and volume by 30.5% year-on-year, driven by rising adoption of built-in appliances. Carysil is investing INR25 crores to establish a modern manufacturing and assembly facility, including an in-house glass processing plant, expected to be operational by Q2 FY27 with a capacity of 150,000 units per year. The Faucet division is operating at 75% capacity utilization (37,500 units) and plans to activate its full installed capacity of 100,000 units per annum in the coming financial year, with new assembly lines for bathroom faucets also being added.
Global Strategy and Market Trends
Carysil is capitalizing on structural shifts towards premium, design-oriented kitchen solutions in mature markets (Europe, North America) and fast-growing regions (Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa). The company's U.S. subsidiary turned profitable in Q2 FY26. Despite a 50% tariff impact🌐ing direct US exports (12-13% of consolidated revenue), Carysil maintains its 18-20% EBITDA margin guidance. The company is also diversifying its UK Surfaces business into harder surfaces (quartz, marble, stones) with a goal to double revenue in 3-5 years.
India Business Expansion and Leadership
Carysil is highly optimistic about its India growth, aiming for INR500 crores in revenue. The company is onboarding a new leadership team, including a Vice President for Sales in the Bathroom division, to accelerate B2B penetration and brand visibility. Expansion plans include adding new distribution dealers, showrooms, and experience centers in key regions like NCR, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh, alongside strengthening its online presence with a new dedicated team.
