Umang Rajesh BhutadaSEBI RA1 min read · 4 October 2026

Avenue Supermarts Limited, which operates DMart, reported standalone revenue from operations of ₹19,206.18 crore for Q2 FY27, up 18.4% from ₹16,218.79 crore in the corresponding quarter last year. The company had 518 stores as of 30 September 2026. 【turn967661search21】

Why this matters

Revenue growth indicates continued business expansion, but sales growth alone does not reveal whether profitability is improving. Store additions, same-store sales growth, product mix and operating expenses will help determine the quality of this growth.

What to monitor next

Quarterly profit and EBITDA margins.
Same-store sales growth, when disclosed.
Revenue growth relative to the increase in store count.
Management commentary on competition and operating costs.

My analytical view: The revenue update provides a useful growth indicator, but the full quarterly results are needed to assess margin performance and earnings growth. Avoid drawing conclusions from revenue alone.
