According to Kotak Institutional Equities, Dmart had 377 stores as of September 2024 and 117 out of these were in top-tier cities. These are also witnessing the maximum new additions by quick commerce companies.

“We reckon these stores operate at revenue throughputs that are much higher than the company-level average and consequently may be impacted disproportionately more by competition from quick commerce,” it said. 

During Q2FY25, the company had opened six stores, as compared to nine in the same quarter of the previous year. However, in the December quarter, it has updated this number to 10. 

According to an exchange filing by the company, the total number of stores as of December 2024 stood at 387.

In FY23 and FY24, DMart opened 40 and 41 stores each. It has indicated that it will keep this momentum going in FY25. Nuvama Institutional Equities has said that in FY25, this number is expected to rise to 45.
