Tata Starbucks Sees Store Profitability, Expansion Costs Weighing
Imagine Starbucks in India is like a team, where each store is a player.
These players are doing well and making money individually.
However, the team is expanding by adding new players quickly.
This expansion means the team is spending a lot of money on new stores.
Even though the stores are making money, the overall team is losing money.
The company is okay with this as they plan to keep adding more stores in the future, hoping to make more money down the line.
Tata Starbucks stores in India are profitable individually.
Overall financial performance is impacted by rapid expansion.
Net loss increased by 65% to Rs 135.7 crore in FY25.
Revenue increased by 5% to Rs 1,277 crore in the same period.
The company plans to reach 1,000 outlets by FY28.
