Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail bolsters growth with strategic demerger

Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited (ABFRL) announced its 18th annual general meeting for September 23, 2025, to present its integrated annual report for FY2024-25. A key highlight is the successful demerger of the Madura Fashion & Lifestyle (MFL) business into Aditya Birla Lifestyle Brands Limited (ABLBL), effective May 1, 2025. This strategic move aims to create two independent, focused entities, maximizing shareholder value.

The company also secured $490 million through a qualified institutional placement (QIP) and preferential issuance during FY2024-25. This capital infusion significantly strengthens ABFRL’s balance sheet, leaving it with a cash reserve of 2,350 crore rupees for aggressive expansion across high-growth platforms.

For FY2024-25, ABFRL reported revenues of 7,355 crore rupees from continuing operations, a 14% year-over-year increase, with an EBITDA margin of 10.3%. The company also achieved a 93% rate for products with at least one sustainability attribute, reflecting its commitment to sustainable practices.
