Farah Malik Bhanji: Thank you, Deepa. Dear shareholders, it is with great pleasure that I present to you the
49th Annual Report of Metro Brands Limited for the financial year 2025-26. I warmly
welcome each and every one of you, and I extend my heartfelt thanks for the trust and
belief you continue to place with us.

execution. Consolidated revenue from operations for the year grew by 14.2% to INR2,864
crores. The year began at a measured pace with the early monsoon a(cid:431)ecting consumer
movement in some of our key markets. Thereafter, footfalls improved, supported by
stronger festive and wedding season demand, and the positive impact of GST reductions

crores. E
