"This year (FY 15') our revenue should be around Rs 4,700 crore as against Rs 4,000 crore achieved last year," Bajaj Electricals CMD Shekhar Bajaj said here today.

Bajaj expects Rs 1,100 crore revenue from lighting business with flat margin and Rs 2,200 crore with higher operating margins in consumer durables, the CMD said.
The company was also focusing at higher export business to the tune of Rs 40 crore to Rs 60 crore in FY 15'.
