Jaquar Bets on Manufacturing Capacity for Global Growth
Jaquar Group makes bathroom and lighting products.
It is a large Indian company, but it is not listed on the stock market.
The family-run business owns and operates its factories instead of outsourcing most production.
It plans to spend Rs 800-1,000 crore to build more factories.
The company wants to grow its revenue and make more products.
It believes new homes, hotels, airports and other construction projects will create demand.
Jaquar sells different brands for luxury, premium and value-focused customers.
Lighting is a smaller part of the business today, but Jaquar expects it to grow significantly.
The company also wants overseas sales to become a larger share of its business.
Jaquar Group reports more than Rs 8,500 crore in annual revenue and nearly 60% of India’s bath-fittings market.
The privately held, family-run company plans to invest Rs 800-1,000 crore over the next two years.
Jaquar aims to expand its manufacturing footprint from 3.3 lakh to 5.3 lakh square metres and add three plants.
The company expects group turnover to rise from Rs 7,548 crore in FY25 to Rs 8,703 crore in FY26.
International markets currently generate about 5% of revenue, with Jaquar targeting 10% within two to three years.
