For the Lighting and Consumer Durables segment, the company reiterates its double-digit volume and value growth guidance, supported by the upcoming festive season, product premiumization, and new category launches.
Surya Roshni's strategic initiatives, including new product launches, portfolio expansion, and commissioning of advanced manufacturing capacities, are expected to support growth and strengthen operating leverage over the remainder of the year.
