Management Commentary:
D-Mart follows Everyday low cost -
Everyday low price (EDLC-EDLP) strategy which aims at procuring goods at
competitive price, using operational and distribution efficiency and thereby
delivering value for money to customers by selling at competitive prices.
Commenting on the performance of the
company Mr. Neville Noronha, CEO & Managing Director, Avenue Supermarts
Limited, said:
“Our revenue for Q3 FY 2025 grew by
17.5% over the previous year. The Q3 FY 2025 same store revenue growth for 2
years and older stores was at 8.3%.
We continue to see increased
intensity in discounting in the FMCG category and the consequent impact to high
turnover per square feet stores in metro towns. However, this quarter the
impact has relatively reduced versus the previous quarter (Q2 FY 2025). We stay
committed to being the most preferred value retailer to customers in the
vicinity of a DMart store or a Fulfilment centre of DMart Ready.
DMart Ready grew by 21.5% in 9 months
FY 2025. In the rapidly evolving dynamics of the grocery ecommerce market, we
are seeing significantly more demand for home delivery compared to pick-up
point and hence we continue to align our business to that extent. Our home
delivery business now far exceeds our pick-up point sales contribution. We will
continue to provide both channels of delivery as an option to our shoppers in
select towns. In several towns we now only operate ‘Home Delivery’ as a
delivery channel.”
