DMart vs. Instant Gratification: Can Traditional Retail Keep Up?

Revenue Growth Hits Low

DMart's revenue growth slowed to 14%, its lowest in 15 quarters, as quick commerce models gain popularity.

Margins Under Pressure

EBITDA margin dropped to 7.9% in Q2 FY25 as DMart struggles with cost pressures amid rapid delivery services from Blinkit and Zepto.

Quick Commerce Disrupts Sales

Quick commerce services offering instant grocery deliveries have contributed to DMart’s dip in revenue per square foot this quarter.

Slow Store Expansion

DMart’s slow pace of adding new stores—just six this quarter—compounds its challenges against agile competitors like Zepto and Blinkit.

DMart Bets on Festive Season

Despite competition from quick commerce, DMart is hopeful for a recovery during the festive season with a focus on in-store sales.
