Whirlpool of India reported its highest-ever quarterly revenue of Rs 2,582 crore on a standalone basis, up 11.4% year-on-year, driven by market share gains, premiumization in air conditioners and front load washers, and price increases taken in April and May. EBITDA margin and PBT margin both came in at 4.6%, contracting by 377 and 320 basis points respectively due to crude oil-linked commodity inflation, currency depreciation, and new energy efficiency regulations tied to the Middle East conflict. On a consolidated basis, revenue grew 12.1% to Rs 2,727 crore with EBITDA and PBT margin of 5.1%, while the Elica subsidiary delivered 26% revenue growth and 22% profit growth.
Whirlpool of India reported Q4 FY26 revenue growth of 7.4% on a standalone basis and consolidated revenue of Rs 2,181 crore, with margins impacted by new energy regulation upcharges and incremental e-waste provisions.

Full year consolidated revenue crossed Rs 8,034 crore, up 1.4%, while EBITDA and PBT margins declined versus last year mainly due to the incremental e-waste provision.
