Key contributors included increased government expenditure, strong project execution, robust real estate activity, and favourable commodity price trends.

Lights, luminaires, switchgears, conduit pipes, fittings, and switches also reported steady growth, buoyed by real estate sector demand. The segment achieved break-even during the quarter, its first profitable quarter after ten consecutive quarters of investment in talent, product innovation, and branding.

EPC Segment

The EPC business registered a 47% YoY increase in Q4 FY25, reaching ₹602.8 crore, primarily due to robust execution of the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) order book.

  • EBITDA: ₹2,960.2 crore, up 19% YoY, with EBITDA margins at 13.2%.
