Reliance Retail Aims for Margin Boost
Reliance Retail is expanding its digital commerce business to make more money.
They plan to use their existing profits to grow their online stores, like JioMart, and connect more physical stores to online delivery.
They want to improve how quickly they deliver orders, how often customers buy from them, and how much money they make from their own brands.
They will also be careful to only grow in ways that make financial sense.
Over the next two years, they expect this to help them make more money and improve their profits.
Reliance Retail plans to expand digital commerce using existing profits.
Targeting improved margins and cash generation over the next two years.
Digital commerce accounted for 13.4% of Grocery B2C and 27.3% of Apparel and Footwear revenue in Q1 FY27.
JioMart services 5,500 pin codes and connects 2,500 stores to two-hour delivery.
