Avenue Supermarts Limited, which operates India’s popular retail chain DMart, reported a consolidated profit of ₹2,543 crore for the first half of FY26, up 9% from ₹2,326 crore in the same period last year. The company’s EBITDA rose 9% to ₹4,543 crore, reflecting stable operations and strong execution despite an inflationary environment.
Revenue from operations stood at ₹57,790 crore for the half year ended September 2025, up from ₹49,533 crore in the previous year. The EBITDA margin remained steady at 7.9%, showing the company’s ability to maintain cost efficiency while expanding its network.
DMart continues to strengthen its leadership position in India’s organized retail space. The company added 50 new stores in the first half of FY26, taking its total count to 432 across 12 states. Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh remain its largest markets.
The retailer follows a cluster-based expansion strategy, focusing on cities where it already has a strong supply chain. This approach helps DMart control logistics costs, ensure product freshness, and maintain its well-known “Everyday Low Prices” model.
DMart’s online arm, DMart Ready, is also growing steadily. It now operates in 24 cities including Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Gurugram, allowing customers to order groceries and essentials through a digital platform.
The company’s balance sheet remains strong with low debt and robust cash generation. Net cash flow from operations rose to ₹2,021 crore in H1 FY26, supported by efficient inventory management and strong sales growth.
Avenue Supermarts has built its brand around affordable pricing, wide product range, and operational discipline. With steady growth in both physical stores and digital platforms, DMart remains one of India’s most trusted and efficiently run retail companies.
