DMart Outlines Growth Strategy Amid Slower Store Expansion and Share Price Decline
Avenue Supermarts Ltd, operator of DMart, plans to focus on technology upgrades, management strengthening, and e-commerce growth under new CEO Anshul Asawa, while maintaining its low-cost retail model. The company reported a 14.9% revenue increase to ₹18,794.5 crore and an 11.3% rise in net profit for the June quarter, though mature store growth slowed. Shares fell nearly 7% after management's FY27 store expansion guidance of 15% annually, below market expectations, raised concerns about medium-term revenue growth.
