what happened

According to Moody's, Bata India Ltd reported on Tuesday a consolidated net profit of 18.11 crore rupees for Q2 FY27. That is up 30.4% from 13.89 crore rupees a year earlier, which the company ties to a higher average selling price.

Consolidated revenue from operations grew 7.54% to 861.78 crore rupees. The company said the festive calendar mostly shifted into Q3 this year, so part of the sales fell outside the second quarter.

Managing Director and CEO Sanjay S. Rao, who took the post on October 1, said growth has continued for four consecutive quarters. Gross margin improved slightly, inventory fell 7% compared with September 30, 2025, and the company is focused on profitable growth.

why it matters

For investors, the key point is that profit grew faster than revenue despite higher input costs and wage increases. Rao expects momentum to continue as festive sales move into the third quarter, though that is management's view rather than a market forecast.
