Two years and older DMart stores grew by 7.1% during Q1 FY26 as compared to Q1 FY25. Revenue growth impact of approximately 100-150 bps was primarily due to high deflation in many staples and non-food products.

Operating costs are higher due to our efforts on improving service levels, capacity building and inflation at entry level wages.'
