Bajaj Electricals to increase play in premium segment

Bajaj Electricals is increasing its play in the premium range in appliances and other segments, and expects the revenue contribution from upscale products to rise as it has lined up several new launches.

The company has recently launched a new brand 'Nex', which will target upscale urban consumers with its premium range of appliances.

Despite a slowdown in some segments, Bajaj Electricals will have new product launches in the premium space and in Morphy Richards in the latter half of this year.

Overall, as a company, it expects a lot more contribution coming from the premium segment.

The Bajaj group company is focusing on two things brand upliftment and product premiumisation -- by launching new products.

Both of these are helping the company grow market share and the Bajaj group firm will continue to focus on this strategy, he added

Over the current market scenario, there is a demand slowdown in the market for categories like fans where star rating has been implemented.

There is a cost side increase, to comply with that and we were not able to pass fully. Similarly in other categories, the demand is soft. There is certain discounting etc. all electric companies are resorting to and that is impacting margins.

The company expects new product launches and premiumisation will help it retain its revenue growth.

It may or may not be volume growth, but as the company launches more products at least from average selling price and portfolio mix, where the management is seeing the change.

In Q4, overall revenue from the fan segment was flat and there was de-growth in the sub-economy category but Bajaj Electricals had a growth in the premium category.

Similarly, in the consumer lighting, the company has seen a degrowth because of demand being weak but it made up for that in the professional lighting. It's more about us balancing the portfolio and doing the right things in a situation when actual demand is weak.

According to the management, in financial year 2022 sub-economy fans contributed 74% of sales in the category, which is now down to 67% as the contribution from the premium segment is picking up.

Over the expansion of distribution, the company's focus is to grow sales through distribution. The company is also witnessing good growth coming from modern trade channels helped by its premium portfolio.

On online also the company is doing fairly well, adding it contributes 12% to sales of its consumer products.

Besides consumer products and lighting solutions, Bajaj Electricals is also present in EPC segment (Engineering Procurement & Construction) in which the company executes projects related to power transmission, distribution and illumination.

Earlier this month Bajaj Electricals reported around 13% growth in its consolidated revenue from operations to Rs 53.4 bn for the financial year ended on 31 March 2023.
