What drove Pantaloons' 17% revenue growth, including EOSS benefit?

We had pushed our EOSS based on our new strategy... even if you keep the EOSS piece aside and normalize for that, our growths are very strong both in terms of L2L and total growth even for the period November to March.

What is Pantaloons' online revenue share and customer KPIs?

Online is about 3-4% of our business. The biggest KPI we feel good about is increase in our basket sizes.

What is the inflation level and price hike strategy for Pantaloons?

We are experiencing something like 3 to 4% inflationary pressure as far as raw materials is concerned. To fully counter it, take price increases between 5 to 8% depending on the category. We are still evaluating.

How did March macro disruption impact demand and outlook for FY27?

There was a marginal impact in March which slowed down some momentum, but we have seen demand nearly normal for most part of April. FY27 on a full year basis is perhaps too much of a stretch.

What is the volume vs price/mix breakdown for Pantaloons growth?

Our price increase through the year was negligible. In quarter 4, our pricing would have been marginally negative. So a large part of the growth has come from volume. We've already seen a step up in footfall towards second half of Q3 and Q4.

Should Pantaloons' mid-single-digit LTL guidance and store expansion be revisited?

I would be more inclined to go with your suggestion of slightly better and more rapid expansion. We won't change the guidance but we are looking to scale up a little faster.

How is the company's liquidity given cash consumed of ~1400 cr in FY26?

We started the year with gross cash of 2,100 cr. In FY26 we consumed totaling to around 1,000 cr. We have roughly 1,150 cr cash available which is sufficient for next two years.

Does Pantaloons' 399 store count include Owned stores and what are store addition plans?

399 is just the number for pantaloons, it does not include the own number. The plan for this financial year is about 20-22 stores. As we get more confident, we will look to step up.

What are TCNS losses in FY26 and Tasva's progress and breakeven timeline?

TCNS is just marginally negative 1% or 2%. Tasva continues in investment phase, profitability will take time. We have said FY28 and we still feel that's the right assessment.

Is Q4 Pantaloons growth just a shift from Q3 or sustainable?

Even if you normalize for the shift of EOSS, looking at November to March, our like-to-like growth is about 7% and total growth is 9%.

What is Pantaloons margin excluding Own and Own's losses?

Pantaloons margin is between 18 to 18.5% for the year, slightly higher than last year. Own losses are causing the rest of the difference; business is still very small.

Why is Pantaloons store addition not accelerating despite strong LTL?

It will be very knee-jerk reactions if we keep reacting to every quarter's responses. The store addition pipeline takes time to build. The guidance has not shifted but we are looking to scale up a little faster.
