GNG Electronics delivered a stellar Q3 FY26, with consolidated revenue growing 40.3% year-on-year to INR 487.22 crores.

This robust performance was accompanied by significant margin expansion, with EBITDA margin increasing 200 basis points to 11.2% and PAT margin rising to 7.9% from 5.5% in Q3 FY25, demonstrating strong operating leverage.
Reflecting strong execution and market tailwinds, management revised its full-year FY26 guidance upwards.

Concurrently, profitability improvement guidance was raised to 150-200 basis points compared to the previous approximately 75 basis points for the whole year, indicating strong confidence in sustained performance.
The company is benefiting from a global shift towards refurbished PCs, driven by significant increases in memory and storage prices for new devices. DDR5 8GB RAM prices surged by nearly 270% and 16GB RAM prices by 3.4x between October 2025 and January 2026. This has led to new PC prices increasing by roughly 20% across the board, creating a larger addressable market for GNG's refurbished products, which are offered at approximately one-third the price of new.
GNG continues to expand its market reach, now supplying to 44 countries and supported by over 4,745 customer touchpoints. The company has forged two strategic partnerships with leading technology distributors, including one of the world's largest, which will now distribute GNG's refurbished products. This move is expected to significantly enhance its ability to meet growing demand and strengthen its distribution model.
To ensure continuity of supply and capitalize on market opportunities, GNG is maintaining elevated inventory levels, proactively securing supplies ahead of price increases. The company has also expanded its operational footprint, adding eight facilities in the UAE and a larger facility in Navi Mumbai, while increasing space in the US market. Employee strength has grown to approximately 1,900, including over 600 new engineers, bolstering capacity for future growth.
GNG emphasizes its core strength in the refurbishment segment, providing devices that are 'as good as new' with a credible warranty of up to 3 years in India and 1 year internationally. Nearly 100% of its sales are now under its own 'Electronics Bazaar' brand, which reinforces customer trust and recall. The company remains focused on the refurbishment piece, where it believes it holds a clear advantage and distinct market positioning.
