Singer India

What Singer India does

SINGER India Limited (BSE/NSE: SINGER) is a publicly listed Indian manufacturer specializing in sewing machines and home appliances, operating under the heritage Singer brand. The company was incorporated in India in 1978, is headquartered in New Delhi, manufactures at its Jammu facility, and listed on NSE on March 19, 2026 in addition to its existing BSE listing. Its product portfolio spans core sewing machines (Zig-Zag Fashion Maker, Electronic-Embroidery, Industrial, Straight Stitch, Artisan series, plus Husqvarna-branded embroidery) and a diversified consumer appliances range covering kitchen appliances, irons, heaters, fans, room coolers, and washing machines. Select smart sewing machine models feature touchscreen controls, AI-assisted functions, and app connectivity.

The company generates revenue through hardware sales across multiple channels: a direct-to-consumer e-commerce store at shop.singerindia.com, Amazon India marketplace listings, a physical retail store network across India with locator functionality, and direct enterprise/government sales. A ₹202.7 crore contract to supply 281,128 sewing machines under the Pradhan Mantri Vishwakarma Scheme (delivery by September 2026) is a material near-term revenue anchor, and the company has committed over ₹100 crore to a new greenfield manufacturing plant for electric zig zag sewing machines to support premiumization and planned export expansion. FY26 consolidated revenue reached ₹5,643.5 million (~30% YoY growth) with the sewing machine segment up 45% and standalone net profit up 72.67% YoY to ₹12.76 crore, though the home appliances segment contracted 17% with noted gross margin slippage. Leadership is headed by Executive Vice Chairman and Managing Director Rakesh Khanna, and the company also operates skill-development services via Singer Sewing Skill Centres and an Online Sewing Studio platform.
