"Over a period of time, it (Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals ) should come closer to Havells' trading multiple. In last five years, there is actually no difference between Havells' and Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals' top-line growth, which means the brand strength of Crompton is extremely good/as good as Havells," said Inderjeetsingh Bhatia, associate director at Macquarie Capital Securities.

"This (Crompton) is a much older brand, around 30-40 years old. Crompton's return ratios are even slightly better than Havells' because of the fact that they follow an asset light model compared to Havells. Crompton outsources most of the production, whereas Havells does most of the production in-house to have control over quality," Mr Bhatia told NDTV Profit.
