Aditya Birla Lifestyle to double revenues in 5 years, invest Rs 300 cr

The newly-listed Aditya Birla Lifestyle Brands (ABLBL) on Monday said it will invest Rs 300 crore every year with an aim to double its revenue in the next five years. The Aditya Birla Group company, which was demerged from Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail, will invest around Rs 300 crore per year, its managing director Ashish Dikshit told reporters here. Group chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla said, "India stands at the cusp of a transformative growth phase, with consumption poised to be a primary driver." ABLBL had a revenue of Rs 7,830 crore in FY25, an operating profit margin of 15 per cent and a net profit of Rs 60 crore. Kumar Mangalam Birla said the company aspires to build India's first portfolio of billion-dollar brands in the fashion and lifestyle segment. It sells brands like Peter England, Allen Solly, Van Heusen and Louis Philippe. Dikshit said two of the company's brands clock sales of over Rs 2,000 crore per year, while two others are above Rs 1,000 crore per year. "Over the next five years, we aim to more than double our scale and more than triple our cash profits. This growth will be strategic, disciplined and powered by strong cash flows," he said, adding that it targets to double in revenues as well. Dikshit said the last two years have been difficult for the industry, adding it was cyclic and the company has seen many such turns in the last 25 years of its existence. On the investments front, he said the company has a capex plan of Rs 300 crore per year. "A large part of it is going through the expansion of the retail network, a small part towards the internal capabilities and technology," Dikshit said. It is aiming for a three-fold jump in the profitability over the next 3-5 year period, he said. The company does not have any immediate plans for acquisitions at present, Dikshit said, pointing out that the Reebok brand and Van Heusen's innerwear can be major growth drivers going ahead.

Bizman duped of 51.8L by share-trading co

Kolkata: A 37-year-old restaurant owner from south Kolkata has filed a complaint against a share-trading company for allegedly defrauding him of Rs 51.8 lakh through unauthorised deductions and questionable trading practices. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The businessman reported that he was approached by a company executive in early May, and after initial discussions about investment opportunities, the complainant transferred the funds through multiple transactions. However, when attempting to withdraw his investments on June 12, the complainant was informed about a mandatory 10% service tax deduction, which he claims violates Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) regulations. "This appears to be a replica of a modus operandi now being used by cyber crooks targeting business owners. We are investigating similar complaints against the same organisation," said an officer. The anti-bank fraud section at Lalbazar has also launched an investigation into the matter, focusing on the company's trading licences and regulatory compliance. Preliminary investigations reveal that the accused company may have targeted several other investors in the region using similar tactics. Cops have advised investors to verify trading companies' credentials through SEBI's official channels before making substantial investments. "Licensed trading firms cannot impose arbitrary service tax on withdrawals," an official said. Cops have registered a case and the cyber cell is tracking the digital trail of the transferred funds.

This #OlympicDay, let's celebrate the power of sports to connect and inspire. Through the #LetsMove campaign, we invite you to pick your +1 and move - whether it's a walk, a run, or a game of cricket.
