Bajaj Electricals reported strong Q2FY21 results with topline growth of 11% YoY to Rs. 1217 crore led by strong performance of consumer products segment, which grew a healthy 13% YoY. Strong demand from semi-urban & rural regions coupled with rise in work from home culture has led to the revival in demand for home appliances in urban India. On the engineering and project front, closure of power distribution projects in Bihar help drive revenue in Q2FY21. Key takeaways from conference call are: 1) Double digit revenue growth in the consumer product segment led by strong festive demand and opening up of metro & tier 1 cities, 2) Price hike of ~2.5% in selected product categories, 3) Market share gains from unorganised players, 4) One-time gain of provision write back to the tune of Rs. 40 crore in EPCs and 5) Focus on acceleration of collections in the EPC business.
