Patel Retail reports a 69.35% rise in first-quarter income for FY27, driven by increased sales, store expansion, and a focus on private-label products, signalling a robust start to the financial year.
Patel Retail has reported a sharp rise in first-quarter earnings for FY27, helped by stronger sales across its retail and food processing operations and continued expansion of its store network.
According to the company’s unaudited results, total income rose 69.35% year on year to ₹310.24 crore in the April-June quarter, compared with ₹183.19 crore a year earlier. EBITDA increased 23.92% to ₹19.68 crore, while profit after tax climbed 37.43% to ₹9.52 crore. Earnings per share stood at ₹2.85.
Chairman and managing director Dhanji Patel said the improvement reflected “healthy momentum” across the group’s businesses. He said Patel Retail opened its 51st Patel’s R Mart store in Rasayani, Raigad, and its 52nd in Bapgaon, Bhiwandi during the quarter, with a further store added in July taking the total to 53. The company said the wider network has strengthened its presence across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region and nearby markets.
The company is also leaning more heavily on private-label products, including Patel Essential, Patel Fresh and Indian Chaska, as it looks to broaden distribution and lift margins. Patel Retail said it remains focused on expanding stores, improving efficiency in its processing units, increasing automation and exploring export opportunities while keeping debt reduction and working capital control in view. Arthneeti’s analysis of the results also pointed to the importance of the company’s own brands and its ongoing expansion plans.
