Management Comments
Gunjan Shah
MD and CEO - Bata India Limited
With the roll out of GST 2.0 and pre-festive buying enthusiasm, the demand has started to revive. While overall Quarter 2 did have muted demand adversely impacted by the GST 2.0 transition, we are seeing positive signs of recovery this festive season post 22" Sept. We reported revenue of INR 8,013 Million with key highlights: - Premium products showing robust growth in brands like Hush Puppies and Power. - Our Victoria Ballerina campaign touched the right chords and attracted female customers, helping us gain additional 1% in the Sales mix. - We also achieved highest weekly pairage contribution from our Power Easy Slide collection. - We passed on the GST benefits to our customers much prior to the official announcements, to unclog the demand pipeline. - We added 30 Franchise Stores in the quarter as we continue to expand in smaller towns / semi- urban markets. We continue to accelerate on managing inventory, merchandising and decluttering initiatives. In line with our long-term strategy towards bringing best-in-class efficiency standards, we have undertaken another VRS in one of our manufacturing units. We remain cautiously optimistic about recovery towards balance of this year, backed by our strong market positioning and wide network while maintaining strong focus on cost efficiencies.
