Natasha Jain: Thank you, Muskan. Good evening, everyone. I'm Natasha Jain on behalf of Phillip Capital.
Welcome all of you to the First Quarter FY27 Earnings Conference Call of Voltas India Limited.
From the management, we have Mr. Mukundan Menon, Managing Director; Mr. K.V. Sridhar,
Chief Financial Officer; Mr. Nikhil R. Chandarana, Head, Corporate Finance; Ms. Sumana
Tripathi, Head FP&A; and Mr. Manish Somani, Head, Finance Controlling.
I request the management to give their opening remarks, post which we shall open the floor for
Q&A. Thank you, and over to you, sir.
K.V. Sridhar: Yes. Good evening all. This is Sridhar here, CFO, Voltas. Glad to connect this evening with our
earnings call. To give an overall summary, Voltas delivered a strong performance in Q1 FY27,
significantly outperforming competition and further strengthening its leadership in the cooling
segment.
The company achieved a 17.3% secondary market share in room air conditioning for FY27 for
the first quarter and widened its lead over the nearest competitor to 4 percentage points,
reinforcing its position as the undisputed market leader.
Strong execution across marketing, product management, channel expansion, manufacturing
capacity and supply chain readiness supported the performance. During the April to June quarter,
the global economy continued to face geopolitical tensions, elevated energy prices and persistent
inflationary pressures. Conflict in the Middle East added to commodity and currency volatility
and supply chain uncertainty.
Against this backdrop, India continued to demonstrate resilience supported by domestic
consumption, infrastructure investments and strong underlying macroeconomic fundamentals.
The Indian consumer durables industry witnessed steady demand during the quarter, continued
demand for cooling products, Room Air Conditioners remained a key growth lever supported
by the summer season, aided by increased penetration and expanded demand across Tier II and
Tier III markets.
Against this operating environment, Voltas delivered a substantially strong performance
compared to the previous year, supported by growth across its key businesses and disciplined
operational execution. The company achieved a significant milestone by selling 1 million RACs
in just 81 days, demonstrating the strength of its brand, product portfolio, distribution reach and
execution capabilities.

Voltbek also emerged as an important growth lever substantially outgrowing the industry and
recording its highest ever quarterly sales in both value and volume. The Projects & Engineering
business provided further resilience and balance, underscoring the strength of the Voltas
diversified portfolio.
For the quarter ended 30th June 2026, Voltas recorded consolidated income of Rs 4,765 crores
compared to Rs 4,021 crores in Q1 FY26. Profit before tax was Rs 285 crores versus Rs 203
crores in the previous -- for the same period last year. Net profit was Rs 213 crores compared to
Rs 141 crores last year.
Now if we go into the detail of the respective segments. Segment A delivered a strong growth
of 33%, led by exceptional performance in the Room Air Conditioner business. RAC volumes
grew by 45% year-on-year, significantly outperforming the industry and key competitors.
As mentioned earlier, the secondary market share was 17.3% for Q1 of '27 and Voltas
progressively strengthened its competitive position through the quarter. For Q1 '27, the company
widened its market share lead over nearest competitor to 4 percentage points, reinforcing the
strength of its brand equity, product positioning, distribution network and execution capabilities.
A sharper brand and marketing strategy was an important contributor to this performance. The
refreshed brand positioning supported by sustained investments across television, digital, retail
and consumer touch points, strengthened consumer engagement and brand salience. The “True
1.5 TR Cooling Capacity” campaign and industry-first initiative highlighted the superior 5,000-
watt cooling capacity of the Voltas 1.5 TR Air Conditioners, enabling consumers to make more
informed and value-driven purchase decisions while enforcing the brand's credentials around
powerful cooling and performance.
Product management and innovation remains central to the growth strategy. The refreshed RAC
portfolio led by AI-powered VirtIs Split AC series introduced in March 2026 offered
differentiated features across AI Adaptive cooling, AI GeoFencing and AI Energy Manager. A
sharper portfolio across capacities, energy ratings and price points enabled Voltas to address
evolving consumer requirements, increasing premiumization and growing demand for
intelligent and energy-efficient cooling solutions.
The Company continued to expand and deepen its channel presence across Tier II and Tier III
markets, where RAC penetration remains relatively low. Wider distribution, stronger dealer
engagement and increased presence across traditional trade, modern retail and emerging
channels improved product availability and enabled Voltas to capture incremental demand
across markets.
Another key enabler was the Company's manufacturing and supply chain preparedness. Capacity
was progressively ramped up ahead of the summer season with the Chennai and Pantnagar
facilities operating at high utilization levels. Strong raw material planning, supply readiness
deeper localization and disciplined inventory management ensured product availability during
the peak season and enabled the company to effectively service the significant increase in
demand.
