ICICI Securities Report

The goods and service tax rates on LED bulbs are likely to increase to 18% from 12%, as per media reports.

We believe any increase in taxes in a highly competitive segment like lighting may impact the industry profitability. Smaller / unorganised companies are likely to gain market shares.

As most durable companies have raised prices by more than 20% in past 18 months, any further price hikes may impact volumes and /or may result in down-trading.
