Commenting on the results, Mr. Vijay Bansal Chairman & Managing Director of Cantabil Retail India said : “We are pleased to report a historical quarterly performance for Q3FY25 setting various benchmarks. The record SSG of 17.7% achieved during the quarter underscores the robustness of our brand. The achievement of a historical high in quarterly revenue and Profit After Tax (PAT), despite a challenging market environment, is a testament to our customer-centric approach, highlights the brand`s competitive advantage and its potential for sustained growth and market leadership.

We are focused on executing a multi-pronged strategy aimed at augmenting customer convenience, strengthening our brand proposition, and driving business growth through expanded market presence and diversified offerings.

The government`s strategy to boost consumer demand through sustainable measures, including direct tax cuts, is anticipated to produce desirable results. The overall revival in consumer sentiment is expected to disproportionately benefit companies that have invested in building strong brand equity, nurturing customer relationships, and establishing a solid market presence. We are committed to shifting gears, capitalizing on emerging opportunities, and solidifying our position as a leader in the fashion apparel sector.

On the expansion front, the Company accelerated its store expansion strategy by opening 43 stores (net) during 9M FY24.”
