D-Mart follows Everyday low cost - Everyday low price (EDLC-EDLP) strategy which aims at procuring goods at
competitive prices, using operational and distribution efficiency and thereby delivering value for money to
customers by selling at competitive prices.
Commenting on the performance of the company Mr. Neville Noronha, CEO & Managing Director, Avenue
Supermarts Limited, said:
“Our revenue for Q3 FY 2025 grew by 17.5% over the previous year. The Q3 FY 2025 same store revenue
growth for 2 years and older stores was at 8.3%.
We continue to see increased intensity in discounting in the FMCG category and the consequent impact to
high turnover per square feet stores in metro towns. However, this quarter the impact has relatively reduced
versus the previous quarter (Q2 FY 2025). We stay committed to being the most preferred value retailer to
customers in the vicinity of a DMart store or a Fulfilment centre of DMart Ready.
DMart Ready grew by 21.5% in 9 months FY 2025. In the rapidly evolving dynamics of the grocery ecommerce
market, we are seeing significantly more demand for home delivery compared to pick-up point and hence we
continue to align our business to that extent. Our home delivery business now far exceeds our pick-up point
sales contribution. We will continue to provide both channels of delivery as an option to our shoppers in select
towns. In several towns we now only operate ‘Home Delivery’ as a delivery channel.”
Avenue Supermarts Limited, the parent company of DMart, announced today that Neville Noronha will not be
offering his candidature for renewal of his role as the Managing Director and CEO at the conclusion of his
current term in January 2026 - a year from now. After more than two decades of exceptional leadership and
a glorious tenure at the helm of the business, Neville has chosen not to extend his contract. The Board of
Directors honours his decision and expresses profound gratitude for his extraordinary contribution to the

excellence, and the establishment of a strong corporate culture. He has built robust managerial teams,
implemented efficient systems and processes, and fostered a customer-first approach that has delivered
outstanding results for all stakeholders.
Neville joined DMart in January 2004 and has shepherded the company from its early years to its current
position as one of the largest supermarket chains of the country that serves the daily household needs of
millions of customers. A hallmark of Neville's leadership is his conviction that while business strategy is evolved
out of a complex metrics of ideas and competing claims, competent execution requires that it is articulated in
simple and precise terms. ensuring they are easy to understand and everyone across all levels in the company
is able to understand and execute it. This operating principle has defined DMart's growth and permeates
everything that the company does.
Under Neville's stewardship, DMart has reached significant milestones, including surpassing the Rs.50,000
Crore annual turnover mark and growing from 5 stores, when Neville joined the company, to more than 380
stores now. His visionary leadership, strategic foresight, and relentless focus on long-term value creation have
set the company up for continued success. The foundation laid by Neville Noronha will remain a source of
strength and inspiration.
Acknowledging Neville’s unwavering commitment to the company, Mr. C.B. Bhave, the Chairman of the Board
of Directors of Avenue Supermarts Limited, said, "I would like to place on record my appreciation of Neville's
vision and hard work in building the company to this scale today. He has demonstrated exceptional leadership
skills and dedication in his remarkably successful tenure. A leader who saw the big picture but never lost the
eye for detail, Neville made sure that growth and profits were not ends in themselves, rather they were the
by products of efficiency, fairness and customer value. The entire Board of the Company joins me in this
sentiment.”

and wish him the best for taking the company to newer heights. I am confident that Anshul's rich experience
across the consumer markets, strong track record, and organization building capabilities will lead our company
to its next phase of growth."
Neville Noronha, MD & CEO, ASL commented, “I deeply appreciate the opportunity I got to serve the
business. Extremely grateful to each and every one of the early leadership team, especially those who
believed in the idea of Dmart and stayed with us for a very long time. Dmart wouldn’t be possible as it is
today without them.
I believe that Dmart is a business model that has a multidecadal runway for growth. If we stay the course of
simplicity, efficient costs, happy employees, deep value to customers and most importantly not doing anything
else, we will always remain relevant for a long time to come.
I remain committed to a smooth transition till my tenure ends and available even after that for any counsel
the company may need from time to time.”
