Dolat Capital Report

We attended Blue Star Ltd.’s analyst meet with their MD, Mr. B. Thiagarajan, wherein the company highlighted that despite initial expectation of demand revival in May-June’25 (following a subdued start to Q1 FY26), the summer demand for room AC’s continued to slump due to early monsoon. This led to elevated channel inventories.
