Metro Brands share price surged over 5% during early trading hours on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, after the company announced an exclusive partnership with Clarks, the British footwear brand. The share price rose as much as 5.77% to ₹1,215.60 on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
This partnership marks Clarks’ official re-entry into the Indian market. As per the agreement, Metro Brands will serve as Clarks’ exclusive Retail and Digital Partner in India and nearby countries, including Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Maldives, and Sri Lanka.
Metro Brands will take complete responsibility for managing Clarks’ e-commerce operations in India. This includes handling the official Clarks India website as well as other digital commerce platforms. In addition to its online role, Metro Brands will also have the exclusive rights to sell Clarks footwear in offline retail channels, including mono-branded Clarks stores throughout the region.
According to Metro’s official statement issued on June 23, “Clarks’ new journey with Metro Brands will be backed by our expansive retail network, data-driven merchandising, and proven capabilities in brand building.”
The company recently reached a key milestone by launching its 900th store in India. As of March 31, 2025, Metro Brands was operating a total of 908 stores across 205 cities in 31 states and union territories. Its wide portfolio includes popular in-house and international footwear and accessories brands such as Metro Shoes, Mochi, Crocs, FitFlop, Fila, and Footlocker.
This latest move with Clarks is part of Metro’s ongoing strategy to strengthen its brand offerings and further enhance its presence in both digital and physical retail spaces.
While Metro Brands’ share price has dropped 3% over the past month and is down 5% year-to-date (YTD), it has shown strong performance over the longer term. The stock gained 8% in the last 3 months, has increased by 21% over the past 2 years, and delivered an impressive 110% return over the last 3 years.
As of 9:50 AM on June 24, 2025, Metro Brands share price was trading 1.59% higher at ₹1,167.50 per share on the BSE.
The exclusive partnership between Metro Brands and Clarks marks a significant development for both companies. With this deal, Metro reinforces its leadership in premium footwear retail while facilitating Clarks’ re-entry into the Indian and neighbouring markets.
