Vijay Sales rebuffs PE, eyes Rs 13,600 cr FY26 sales as family doubles down on reinvestment

India's #3 electronics retailer, trailing only Reliance Digital and Croma, projects 25%+ sales growth to Rs 13,600 crore and Rs 500 crore+ profits in FY26. The 60-year-old Mumbai-based family chain is shunning private equity, family offices, and wealth managers, choosing to plough profits back into the core business rather than diversify.
