Answers
Simple answers to the questions investors ask most, from the company's own numbers.
How fast it has been growing
Sales grew 6.0% over the past year, and 9.0% a year over its longer record. Meanwhile what it keeps of every 100 rupees of sales slipped from 7.1% to 4.8% over the last four years.
Whether it grew faster than its sector
It grew 9.0% a year against a sector median of 11.3% — 2.3 percentage points slower.
Room to re-rate, or risk of de-rating
At 38.1× earnings it costs 1.6× the market, which pays 24.1× across 2199 companies we can price. Its own industry sits at 65.4×, across 5 companies. It is against its own five-year median of 64.6×, the 18th percentile of its own range.
Whether growth justifies the valuation
Priced at 2.9 times its growth rate, on earnings growth of 13%.

Compared with companies filed under the same label. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.
How it compares with its peers
Against companies the exchange files under the same label (Household Appliances), it ranks 13 of 21 on returns, 17 of 21 on growth, 15 of 21 on margin. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.
What makes it hard to beat — and is that still true?
No durable advantage shows in the numbers: it earns 10.7% on capital, ahead of 38% of companies filed under the same label. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.
Whether its growth pays for itself
Yes — Over the last five years it made ₹1847 crore of cash from the business, spent ₹793 crore on plant and equipment, and returned ₹826 crore to lenders and shareholders. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 9 years, about 108 arrived as cash (before interest, which is why it can exceed the profit). Its cash comes back faster than it used to: it went from being waiting 13 days for its cash to waiting 0 days for its cash.

V-Guard appoints Mithun Chittilappilly as chairman
V-Guard named Mithun Chittilappilly chairman, giving its own investors a small confidence lift while rivals, suppliers, and buyers feel no real gain or loss.
Who it hits first
- V-Guard Industries, which makes stabilisers, wires, and home electrical goods, named Mithun Chittilappilly as chairman.
- The move signals leadership continuity rather than a strategy shift, so the direct effect on sales and costs is small.
- Investors may treat it as a mild confidence cue for the company's direction over the coming days.
Who may gain
- V-Guard Industries and its shareholders, through steady leadership and a small investor-confidence lift
Along the supply chain
Downstream
No downstream effect — dealers and buyers see no change in products, prices, or supply from this leadership move.
Upstream
No upstream effect — parts supplier Salzer Electronics gets no new orders from a chairman appointment at V-Guard.
Where demand moves
Business
No fresh business demand — a chairman appointment creates no orders, sales, or contracts for V-Guard or its rivals.
Capital
A touch of investor money may favour V-Guard Industries shares on continuity hopes, while rival makers see no capital-flow reason to move.
How it spreads across sectors
Consumer Durables
Near-zero ripple — one company's chairman move does not shift demand, costs, or pricing for the wider appliances and electricals shelf.
When it plays out
Immediate
1-7 days: V-Guard shares may edge up slightly on the news while rival makers stay flat.
Medium term
1-6 months: the appointment matters only if it brings clearer strategy or stronger execution over time.
Short term
1-4 weeks: any early lift fades unless results or guidance confirm the steady hand.
26 Sept, 21:11 IST · Market event · medium impact
AC prices set to rise 5-8% from Oct 1, hikes also loom for LED TV, washing machine, refrigerator
Air conditioners will cost 5-8% more from October 1, with TVs, fridges and washers likely next, hurting shoppers and squeezing supplier orders while makers like Voltas protect margins but risk selling fewer units.
Who it hits first
- Air conditioners from makers like Voltas (air conditioner maker) and Blue Star (cooling equipment maker) will cost 5-8% more from October 1 because copper, steel, aluminium, crude-based materials and a weak currency pushed up costs.
- Price rises for LED TVs, washing machines and refrigerators are also coming, so shoppers will pay more across big home appliances.
- Makers will protect their profit on each unit with higher prices but risk selling fewer units if shoppers delay purchases.
Who may gain
- Blue Star (air conditioning maker) — solid returns with ROE 17.21 help it pass on costs and defend margins while volumes wobble.
- Havells India (electrical and appliance maker) — strong returns with ROE 19.02 and tiny debt with D/E 0.02802 help it absorb the shock.
- LG Electronics India (TV, fridge, washer and AC seller) — strong returns with ROE 24.71 give it the best cushion to push prices through.
Along the supply chain
Downstream
Shops and online sellers must sell costlier air conditioners, TVs, fridges and washers, and shoppers may delay purchases, pick cheaper models, or choose air coolers instead.
Upstream
Parts makers like Amber Enterprises (air conditioner parts), Dixon Technologies (electronics maker) and PG Electroplast (appliance parts) face softer orders if dearer appliances slow sales, while paying more themselves for copper, steel, aluminium and crude-based plastics.
Where demand moves
Business
Shoppers face higher price tags, so stores may sell fewer air conditioners, TVs, fridges and washers in October; makers collect more money per unit but sell fewer units, and parts makers see softer orders.
Capital
Investors are likely to stay careful on white-goods makers and their parts suppliers until October festival sales show whether buyers accept higher prices, leaning toward stronger names like Havells and Blue Star.
How it spreads across sectors
Chemicals
Suppliers of plastics and resins tied to crude derivatives keep selling to appliance makers for now, but could feel a pinch if higher prices dent appliance volumes.
Consumer Durables
Air conditioner, TV, fridge and washer makers raise prices to cover copper, steel, aluminium and currency costs, trading margin defence for the risk of fewer sales.

When it plays out
Immediate
Shops warn buyers about the October 1 rise; some shoppers buy early to beat the 5-8% hike while maker shares wobble on volume worries.
Medium term
If copper, steel, aluminium and currency pressures ease, margins recover without further hikes; if not, makers face another round of rises or weaker sales.
Short term
New 5-8% air conditioner prices land on October 1 and TV, washer and fridge hikes follow; October festival sales reveal whether demand holds.

Whirlpool of India share price zooms 33% in 3 days, up 12% today; what's driving this stock? Will the bull run continue?
Whirlpool's parent is talking to buyers for its India stake, which helps Whirlpool India shareholders on takeover hopes and hurts no one directly.
Who it hits first
- Whirlpool of India, which makes fridges, washers and air conditioners, jumped 12% today and 33% in 3 days after saying its parent Whirlpool Mauritius is talking to multiple buyers for its remaining stake.
- This jump for Whirlpool of India is about hopes of a takeover price (a control premium), not about selling more appliances, since it said it is not involved in the parent's sale plans.
Who may gain
- Current Whirlpool of India shareholders, who see the share price up on buyout hopes
- Whirlpool Mauritius, the selling parent, which could get a higher price if several buyers compete
Along the supply chain
Downstream
No direct downstream link — dealers and shoppers see no change in products or prices from the parent's stake talks.
Upstream
No direct supply-chain link — parts makers like Amber Enterprises, which supplies components, get no new orders from a mere ownership change.
Where demand moves
Business
No new appliance orders — shops and buyers are not ordering more fridges or washers because of a stake sale talk.
Capital
Investors are buying Whirlpool of India shares betting a new owner pays a high takeover price, pulling short-term trading money into the stock.
How it spreads across sectors
Consumer Durables
Mild sympathy mood only — peers like LG Electronics India and Voltas may see light trading interest on M&A hopes, but no change in sales.
When it plays out
Immediate
Trading stays choppy over 1-7 days as buyers guess who bids and at what price.
Medium term
Once a buyer and price are known in 1-6 months, the stock settles on the deal terms; the appliance business itself is unchanged.
Short term
Price follows news of bidders over 1-4 weeks; if no buyer names appear, the 33% spike can fade.
