Vishal Mega Mart
Featured story: Vishal Mega Mart Needs a Strong Q3 Recovery After a Worn-Out Q2

Second-quarter performance: Muted same-store growth and narrowing margins affected the value retailer’s quarterly earnings.
Same-store growth: Weaker growth from established outlets indicates that existing stores generated limited sales momentum during the quarter.

Profit performance: Despite strong revenue and quick-commerce growth, reported profit did not meet market expectations.
