On July 2, 2025, V-Mart Retail shares rose ~2% in the morning trade, reaching a day high of ₹872.50 at 09:40 AM, after opening at ₹869.15 on BSE. The gain in V-Mart Retail shares follows the release of the business update for Q1FY26. The company commenced FY25 on a strong note, reporting a 12.6% year-on-year increase in revenue from operations. For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the company posted revenue of ₹885 crore, up from ₹786 crore in the corresponding period last year.

This growth was underpinned by a steady Same Store Sales Growth (SSSG) of 1%, indicating consistent demand across existing outlets while newer locations began to gain traction.

Expansion and New Store Opening

As part of its ongoing expansion strategy, V-Mart opened 15 new stores during the quarter and streamlined its network by closing two underperforming outlets. These new stores were strategically distributed across various states:

• Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh: 3 stores each
• Bihar and Uttarakhand: 2 stores each
• Jharkhand, Gujarat, Telangana, Maharashtra, and Odisha: 1 store each

With these additions, V-Mart’s nationwide presence has grown to 510 stores as of June 30, 2025.

V-Mart Outlook

The company’s expansion drive underscores its confidence in India’s value retail and affordable fashion segments, particularly in Tier II and Tier III cities, where it continues to maintain a dominant foothold. Looking ahead, as consumer confidence improves and disposable incomes rise post-pandemic, V-Mart's commitment to affordability and accessibility positions it well for sustained growth in the quarters to come.
