Avenue Supermarts H1 FY2027 deck (filed October): DMart store count 518, incl. Sanpada outlet shut for reconstruction
Our read
DMart's 518-store count for H1 FY2027 includes the Sanpada outlet in Navi Mumbai, which is closed for reconstruction, so the trading footprint is smaller than the headline and rivals should read it as a rebuild-in-place move, not pure expansion.

Likely next moves
Our read of what comes next — analysis, not reported by the source.
- DMart is likely to reopen the rebuilt Sanpada store in Navi Mumbai and fold it back into its operating store count.
- Expect DMart to report a higher store count in its Q3 FY2027 investor presentation than the 518 shown for H1 FY2027.
- DMart is likely to keep DMart Ready focused on cities where it already has stores, rather than expanding it sharply.
- Quick-commerce and rival value-grocery chains may keep pressing for the same price-sensitive shoppers around DMart's urban clusters.
- Analysts are likely to ask DMart to separate operating stores from those closed for reconstruction in future store-count disclosures.
