Commenting on the performance of the company, Neville Noronha, CEO and Managing Director, Avenue Supermarts Limited, said, “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.”
“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.”
In the rapidly evolving dynamics of the grocery e-commerce market, DMart is seeing significantly more demand for home delivery compared to pick-up point and hence it continues to align its 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,” said the CEO and MD said.
Also, the parent company of DMart, announced that Neville Noronha will not be offering his candidature for renewal of his role as the Managing Director and CEO after 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 company informed stock exchanges.
“The Board of Directors honours his decision and expresses profound gratitude for his extraordinary contribution to the company. The Board has appointed Anshul Asawa as the CEO Designate, effective March 15th, 2025,” the exchange filing read.
