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.

 

Mr. Anshul Asawa, CEO-Designate, commented: “Our revenue for the quarter grew by 13.2%. Profit after tax (PAT) grew by 17.6% over the previous year. Two years and older DMart Stores grew by 5.6% in Q3 FY26 as compared to Q3 FY25.

Revenue growth was partially impacted due to deflation in staples. We opened 10 stores during the quarter. Our total stores stand at 442 as on December 31, 2025.”
