Why margins look softer
- The company said an 18-day shift in the festive calendar moved Puja and Dussehra demand from Q2 to Q3 this year.
- It estimates this shift affected Q2 SSSG by 3-4% (adjusted SSSG about 9%) and H1 SSSG by 1.5-2% (adjusted about 9.5%).
- Lower fixed-cost absorption because of that shift, along with inflationary pressures, was cited for the margin movement.
Store network and operations
- 26 gross and 25 net stores were added in Q2; 53 gross and 49 net in H1, taking the total store count to 844.
- As on September 30, 2026, the network spans 582 cities with total retail area of about 1.41 crore sq. ft.
- For H1FY27, revenue contribution was 44.1% from Apparel, 28.4% from General Merchandise and 27.3% from FMCG; own brands contributed 73.9% of revenue.
- The quick commerce initiative covered 781 stores across 532 cities with a registered user base of 1.5 crore.
- A first pilot store of 'Belong & Co.', a new apparel format for young, affluent urban consumers, was launched in the quarter.
Management view
- The founder and MD said demand conditions remained steady despite renewed inflationary pressures in key raw material categories and an uneven monsoon.
- He said the company had a strong start to the festivals and remained focused on growth, supply chain efficiency and cost discipline.
What a retail investor can track
- Whether the festive demand that moved into Q3 shows up in the next quarter's revenue and SSSG.
- Whether gross and operating margins recover once fixed costs are absorbed over a full festive quarter.
- The pace of net store additions and the scale-up of quick commerce and the new apparel format.
