Avenue Supermarts, the company behind the DMart retail chain, reported steady topline growth in the December quarter, supported by store expansion and consistent consumer demand across its network. In a provisional business update for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the retailer said its standalone revenue from operations rose 13 percent year on year to Rs 17,613 crore, compared with Rs 15,565 crore in the same period last year.
The Mumbai based company, promoted by investor Radhakishan Damani, ended the quarter with a total of 442 stores, underlining its continued focus on physical expansion even as competition intensifies across India’s organised retail sector. The company clarified that the revenue numbers shared are provisional and subject to revision when detailed quarterly results are announced.
While revenue momentum remained healthy, Avenue Supermarts’ stock performance has lagged broader market benchmarks. Over the past year, the shares have gained about 4 percent and are currently trading below both their 50 day and 200 day simple moving averages, reflecting investor caution around margins and near term profitability trends.
In the preceding September quarter, the retailer had reported revenue from operations of Rs 16,676 crore, marking a 15 percent increase from the year ago period. Net profit for that quarter rose 4 percent year on year to Rs 685 crore, though it declined sequentially from Rs 773 crore posted in the June quarter. On a standalone basis, total revenue in the September quarter grew 15.4 percent year on year to Rs 16,219 crore, while net profit increased 5 percent to Rs 747 crore.
Operating performance also showed improvement, with EBITDA for the September quarter rising 11.3 percent year on year to Rs 1,230 crore. The company had added eight new stores during that period.
The latest quarterly update indicates that Avenue Supermarts continues to deliver predictable revenue growth driven by scale and expansion. However, margin trends and cost pressures will remain key areas to watch when the company releases its full earnings report.
