The notification also referenced Part A of Schedule III of the Listing Regulations, underscoring the firm’s adherence to mandatory disclosure norms for listed entities.

Investors can access the audio file directly through Vedant Fashions’ official website. The recording is hosted under the investors’ section, specifically within the reports and results category.

Navin Pareek, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer at Vedant Fashions Limited, signed the intimation letter dated July 27, 2026. The document confirms that the information has been disseminated to the respective stock exchanges for publication on their websites. This procedural step ensures that all shareholders, including retail investors, have equal access to material information related to the company’s financial health.

Vedant Fashions reported a net profit (PAT) of ₹806.11 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, marking a 14.7% increase from ₹702.57 million in the corresponding period of the previous year. This growth underscores the company’s ability to maintain profitability despite competitive pressures in the Indian wedding and celebration wear segment, driven by a 7.2% year-on-year rise in revenue from operations to ₹3,013.65 million and an expansion in EBITDA margin to 44.6% from 43.2%. The results highlight strong operational efficiency and pricing power within its branded fashion apparel segment.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial results on July 25, 2026, in compliance with Regulation 30 and Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The results were reviewed by the Audit Committee and accompanied by a limited review report from statutory auditors B S R & Co. LLP. Additionally, the Board sanctioned the re-appointment of Ravi Modi, Shilpi Modi, and Manish Mahendra Choksi for five-year terms, pending shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.

Operational and Financial Highlights

Retail sales, defined as the sale of customers across all channels, grew by 3.4% to ₹4,195 million from ₹4,057 million in Q1FY26. Domestic same-store sales growth (SSSG) stood at 3.8%, excluding shop-in-shops (SIS) and international stores. The company maintained its industry-leading gross margin at 65.7%, although it contracted slightly from 66.9% in the prior year quarter. EBITDA rose by 10.8% to ₹1,345 million, reflecting efficient cost management. Employee benefits expense declined slightly to ₹151.63 million from ₹155.68 million, while finance costs decreased to ₹129.51 million from ₹141.31 million.

Director Re-Appointments

The Board approved the re-appointment of three directors based on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee:

• Ravi Modi: Re-appointed as Chairman and Managing Director for five years from August 28, 2026, to August 27, 2031. He is liable to retire by rotation.
• Shilpi Modi: Re-appointed as Whole-time Director for five years from August 28, 2026, to August 27, 2031. She is liable to retire by rotation.
• Manish Mahendra Choksi: Re-appointed as Non-Executive Independent Director for a second term of five years from September 06, 2026, to September 05, 2031. He is not liable to retire by rotation.

All re-appointments are subject to shareholder approval at the ensuing Annual General Meeting. The directors confirmed they are not disqualified under Section 164 of the Companies Act, 2013, nor debarred by SEBI or any other statutory authority.

Brand Strategy and Market Presence

Vedant Fashions continues to leverage its multi-brand portfolio, including Manyavar, Mohey, Twamev, Diwas, and Mebaz, to cater to diverse consumer segments. The Manyavar brand remains the category leader in men’s Indian wedding wear, operating without end-of-season discounts to maintain brand value. Mohey, the women’s wear brand, expanded its presence through influencer campaigns and stylist associations. Twamev focused on premium offerings with celebrity endorsements, while Diwas targeted the festive and celebration wear segment with sustainable options for Gen Z consumers. Mebaz strengthened its position in South India as a regional heritage brand.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between retail sales growth (3.4%) and revenue growth (7.2%) suggests a favorable shift in channel mix or inventory realization. The stable gross margin despite revenue growth indicates effective pricing power and supply chain efficiency. The decline in employee benefits expense relative to revenue growth points to improved productivity. However, the slight contraction in gross margin from 66.9% to 65.7% warrants monitoring for potential cost pressures in raw materials or logistics. The company’s asset-light franchisee-led model continues to drive high cash conversion ratios, supporting its strong balance sheet.
