    Q&A highlights

    “So specifically, just to add, this is Anmol Jain. So, if you look at the quarter performance of HMSI, they grew sequentially 5% and, on a year, -on-year basis for the quarter 3% compared to our growth of almost 55%. That is largely because of improved wallet share as, there has been introduction of new models that we are the single source. So, it's not driven by a volume gain, it is driven by wallet-share gain.”

    Clarifies that the significant growth from HMSI is due to market share gains from new model wins where Lumax is a single source, rather than just industry volume growth.

    Detailed Narrative

    01

    Record Financial Performance Driven by LED Portfolio

    Lumax Industries achieved its highest ever revenue in Q4 FY25 at INR 923 crores, marking a 24% year-on-year growth. For the full fiscal year 2025, revenue reached INR 3,400 crores, a 29% increase from the previous year. EBITDA for Q4 FY25 stood at INR 85 crores (+20% YoY) with a 9.2% margin, while full-year EBITDA was INR 289 crores (+20% YoY). Consolidated PAT for Q4 FY25 was INR 44 crores (+22% YoY) and INR 140 crores (+26% YoY) for the full year, reflecting strong operational efficiency and a premium product offering.

    02

    Accelerated Shift to LED Lighting and Robust Order Book

    The company's strategic focus on LED lighting is evident, with LED products accounting for 58% of total revenue in FY25, a significant jump from 39% in FY24. Lumax expects this trend to continue, projecting LED lighting to contribute 65% of total revenue in FY26. A healthy order book of INR 2,275 crores further reinforces this, with 88% dedicated to LED lighting, 37% to electric vehicles, and 85% to the Passenger Vehicle segment, positioning the company for sustained growth.

    03

    Strengthening OEM Relationships and Market Share Gains

    Lumax has deepened its relationships with leading OEMs, securing new project wins and improving wallet share. Notably, growth with HMSI was driven by becoming a single source for new models like Activa and Shine, leading to a 55% growth in revenue from HMSI for the quarter. The company is bullish on Maruti Suzuki, Mahindra, Tata, and TVS, expecting significant growth from Maruti (35% or upwards in FY26) and aiming to increase its current 27-30% wallet share with Maruti Suzuki over the next 2-3 years.

    04

    Capacity Expansion and Capex Plans

    The company plans a capex of approximately INR 180-220 crores for FY26. Phase 2 of the Chakan plant, designed to cater to Tata Motors, Mahindra, and Volkswagen, is on track for its SOP in Q2 FY26. This phase is expected to contribute 40-50% of its peak revenue of INR 250-300 crores in FY26, with full realization anticipated by FY27. Capacity utilization for Phase 1 of Chakan is currently 70-80% and is expected to reach 90% in the current year.

    05

    Margin Outlook and Localization Initiatives

    While higher LED concentration, particularly due to lower material margins on LED lamps, has exerted some pressure on overall margins, management expects margins to improve to 9.5-10% in FY26. The company is actively pursuing localization efforts for electronic components like bare PCBs and connectors, which are currently imported, to enhance cost efficiency and reduce reliance on imports. Tooling margins, which were in single digits in FY25 due to strategic projects, are expected to normalize to 12-15% on a sustained basis.

    06

    Industry Outlook and Identified Risks

    Management anticipates an overall industry growth of 4-5% for FY26, supported by stable macroeconomic conditions and infrastructure development. However, certain headwinds include export restrictions, China's policies on rare earth elements impacting supply chains for magnets and semiconductors, and increased competitive intensity. SIAM has also issued a caution note regarding potential industry disruption🌐s in June and July, which the company is monitoring.
