Mumbai – Welspun Living Ltd. (WLL), a global leader in Home Textiles and part of the US$ 5 billion Welspun Group, announced robust results for the first quarter of FY27 (Q1FY27) on August 13, 2026. The company reported significant growth across its businesses, driven by expanding margins and successful international market penetration.

The consolidated financial results showed revenue climbing by 23.5% year-on-year and growing 15.4% sequentially, reaching ₹2,828 crore.

The company stated that its balance sheet remains strong, bolstered by healthy cash generation and disciplined working capital management.

Key Operational Highlights​

Business segment performance demonstrated momentum across both global and domestic markets:

• Global Reach: Home textile exports grew by 28.1% year-on-year, signaling a particularly strong quarter. The UK and Europe segments reported over 20% growth, viewing the Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) as a key long-term opportunity.
• US Market Penetration: The US pillow business expanded by 2.3x in Q1 and is positioned to double revenues within FY27.
• Domestic Strength: The domestic market sustained strong momentum, with growth nearing 21.3% year-on-year as the company’s brands penetrated deeper into households.
• Segment Performance: Flooring margins improved to 10.4%, a testament to operational discipline despite softer export conditions in that segment.
