NEW RISK
High real estate rentals limiting store expansion

Input cost inflation from fabric prices
Geopolitical tensions may increase fabric costs by 50-150 bps, though management expects minimal impact on gross margins.
NEW RISK
Adhik Maas impact on May sales
May 2026 has an extra month (Adhik Maas) considered inauspicious for weddings, potentially affecting Q1 revenue.
NEW RISK
Consumer sentiment uncertainty from macro headwinds
Management noted consumer sentiment turned neutral after the war started in late Feb/early March, which could impact discretionary spending.
RISK GONE
Sustained weak middle-class consumer sentiment
Management acknowledged that muted consumer sentiment, especially in the middle class, has been a key drag on performance and may persist.
RISK GONE
Competition from organized and unorganized players
Analysts raised concerns about market share loss to competitors like Manyavar and others; management downplayed but noted industry consolidation.
RISK GONE
GST rate hike impact on margins and demand
The GST increase from 12% to 18% on 90% of products compressed gross margins and may affect consumer demand if not fully absorbed.
RISK GONE
Store consolidation may weigh on near-term revenue
Ongoing closure of smaller stores and pause in expansion could limit top-line growth until normalization in 2-3 quarters.
