Management Comment:
Commenting on the performance, Mr. Rajesh Dulhani, Chairman & Executive Director of
Saraswati Saree Depot Ltd. said:
"Saraswati Saree Depot began FY27 with a steady quarter. Revenue from Operations for Q1
FY27 stood at ₹1,475.90 million, growth of 1.9% over Q1 FY26, reflecting the strength of our
wholesale network and the trust our customers continue to place in us. Our extensive
wholesale network, diversified supplier base and strong market presence continue to underpin
business momentum across our key markets.
We remain focused on strengthening the foundations of the business. Our retail initiative
marks an important strategic step as we build a direct consumer-facing presence alongside
our leadership in the wholesale segment. Our Surat purchase office has served its purpose
well in improving sourcing efficiency and deepening vendor engagement, and having derived
optimum utilisation from it, we may, over time, look to gradually scale down this office as part
of a natural evolution of our sourcing approach.
Profit after tax for the quarter was ₹66.05 million, growth of 4.0% over Q1 FY26. Margins
remained under pressure from elevated procurement costs, and restoring them is our foremost
operating priority. Our debt-free balance sheet, healthy liquidity position and disciplined
approach to working capital give us a firm platform from which to pursue growth.
Looking ahead, we expect demand conditions to remain measured, reflecting continued
caution in consumer spending. We would also like to draw attention to the fact that, on account
of Diwali falling in a different month this year compared to last year, our Q2 and Q3 FY27
performance may not be strictly comparable on a year-on-year basis with the corresponding
quarters of FY26, and we would encourage stakeholders to view these periods with this
seasonal shift in mind.
We are approaching the year with prudence and confidence, supported by the strength of our
fundamentals, our extensive customer network and our market position. Our focus remains
on operational efficiency, customer and supplier relationships, product portfolio expansion,
efficient working capital management, optimum fund allocation and our retail presence. We
believe these initiatives, combined with our robust balance sheet and disciplined execution,
will enable us to navigate the current environment effectively and create sustainable long-term
value for all stakeholders."
