LG Electronics India posted a net profit of ₹89.6 crore for the quarter, down 61.6% from ₹233.4 crore in the corresponding period last year, as subdued post-festive demand and higher input costs weighed on margins. The Korean electronics giant’s revenue fell 6.4% year-on-year to ₹4,114.3 crore, compared with ₹4,395.5 crore a year earlier, reflecting muted demand conditions in the consumer durables segment.
LG Electronics India’s EBITDA declined 42.6% to ₹195.7 crore from ₹340.7 crore in the year-ago quarter, while EBITDA margin contracted 300 basis points to 4.8% from 7.8% last year. In an exchange release, the electronics manufacturer attributed the margin contraction to weaker operating leverage and elevated raw material costs, particularly copper and aluminium, alongside currency headwinds.
The Home Appliances (H&A) segment saw revenue decline to ₹2,788 crore in Q3 FY26 from ₹3,091 crore in Q3 FY25, amid post-Diwali softening in demand, the release added.
