Lenskart’s store-led, vertically integrated model outpaces Titan EyeCare on growth and margins
Lenskart added 203 net new India stores in H1 FY26, reaching 431 cities, while Q2 revenue rose 24% year-on-year to Rs 2,146.6 crore and EBITDA margin reached 19.8%. Titan EyeCare’s domestic income rose, but EBIT halved to Rs 12 crore.
Lenskart is scaling Indian eyewear through AI-led location selection, remote testing, fast delivery and local manufacturing, while Titan EyeCare relies on optometrists and fitting labs. Lenskart delivered stronger revenue and margin growth, while Titan’s eyewear EBIT and margins declined.
Why this matters
The signal reinforces the resurfaced Q2 FY26 filing showing Lenskart's 24% revenue growth and 431-city network, while sharpening the contrast with HSBC's April 2026 Hold call on its 7,000-store runway and limited upside.
