Bata India Faces Steep Profit Decline Amid Rising Expenses

Bata India Ltd reported a 73.26% decrease in net profit for Q2 2025, with profits at Rs 13.9 crore. The decrease is attributed to lower revenue and higher expenses. Revenue was Rs 801.33 crore, down from Rs 837.14 crore last year, with expenses rising to Rs 795.2 crore.

Bata India Ltd has announced a significant drop in net profits for the second quarter of 2025. The footwear giant saw profits plummet by over 73% to Rs 13.9 crore, a stark contrast to the Rs 51.98 crore recorded during the same period last year.

The substantial decrease in profit is primarily attributed to subdued revenue figures and escalating expenses. The consolidated revenue from operations dipped to Rs 801.33 crore, down from Rs 837.14 crore in the previous fiscal year's similar quarter.

Moreover, the company's total expenses surged to Rs 795.2 crore from last year's Rs 785.09 crore, further straining the financial outcome amid challenging market conditions.
