EBITDA saw a significant 38% YoY increase to INR52 crore, with margins expanding to 8% from 6% in Q3 FY25.

    02

    Bathware Segment Leads Growth with Premiumization and Efficiency

    The Bathware business delivered a 14% YoY revenue growth in Q3 FY26, reaching INR386 crore, and a 16% YoY EBITDA growth to INR40 crore, with margins at 10%. This performance was attributed to strategic initiatives including refining go-to-market strategies, accelerating premiumization, and implementing a zero-based budgeting framework. Premium products now constitute approximately 40% of Q3 revenues, and the company aims for a 3-4% improvement in Bathware EBITDA margin over the next 18-24 months.

    03

    Pipes Business Poised for Recovery with Roorkee Plant Commissioning

    The Pipes and Fittings business, despite facing headwinds from resin price volatility and volume decline in Q3, is showing signs of recovery. The new Roorkee plant commenced commercial production at the end of January 2026, which is expected to generate an incremental annual revenue of approximately INR200 crore once stabilized. Management reported a 23% value growth and 30% volume growth in January for the Pipes segment, indicating a reversal of destocking and strengthening demand, with a future volume growth guidance of 12-15%.

    04

    Strategic Focus on High-Margin Kitchen Appliances and Portfolio Rationalization

    The Consumer Appliances business reported a 21% growth in Q3 FY26 revenue to INR81 crore. The company has strategically rationalized its product portfolio, discontinuing high loss-making categories like certain air coolers, fans, purifiers, water purifiers, and furniture fittings. The focus is now on high-demand, higher-margin kitchen appliances (chimneys, hobs, sinks, built-in microwaves, ovens) and e-commerce-only coolers, with a target CAGR of 15-20% for the kitchen appliances business over the next 2-3 years and a revenue run rate of INR100 crore by Q1 next year.

    05

    Debt Reduction and Asset-Light Model for Water Heaters

    The company successfully divested its manufacturing assets in Telangana, part of a joint venture with Groupe Atlantic for water heaters, for approximately INR115 crore. The proceeds from this sale were utilized to repay HPL's entire debt in December. This strategic move transitions the water heater business to an asset-light trading model, allowing the company to source from vendors, including the divested facility, while focusing on improving the bottom line.

    06

    Enhanced Customer Engagement and Distribution Expansion

    Hindware is strengthening its distribution network and customer engagement across segments. For Bathware, this includes increasing brand stores (currently around 500) and expanding dealer penetration in Tier 1, 2, and 3 towns, focusing on 'weighted dealers.' In customer service, the company has invested in digital solutions, allowing consumers to interact via WhatsApp in 9 Indian languages, leading to a high and increasing Net Promoter Score (NPS).
