🧥 ABFRL Q4 Results: ₹455 Cr Loss, ₹14,973 Cr Sales — Did They Sell Fashion or Set Fire to It?

Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail Ltd (ABFRL) posted ₹14,973 Cr in revenue for FY25 — up 7% YoY — and yet ended with a loss of ₹456 Cr. The company blamed everything from “restructuring” to “one-time impairments” and a demerger. CMP is ₹89 — and that might just be the brand value left on the shelves after discounts.


👕 About the Company

  • Business: Branded apparel retail under brands like Pantaloons, Van Heusen, Allen Solly, Louis Philippe, Forever 21, Jaypore, and Sabyasachi
  • Recent Moves: Acquired TCNS (W + Aurelia), planning Madura Lifestyle demerger
  • Market Cap: Massive — but the market seems fashionably disinterested lately
  • Customers: Mostly mall-walkers with discount coupons

In short, ABFRL is India’s Zara-meets-Sale sign — with a business model that sells ₹3000 kurtas for ₹899, twice a month.
