Aditya Birla Lifestyle Brands Ltd (ABLBL), the newly listed arm of the Aditya Birla Group, unveiled an ambitious roadmap on Monday, announcing plans to invest ₹300 crore annually over the next five years to double its revenues and triple its profitability.
Speaking at a media briefing, ABLBL Managing Director Ashish Dikshit confirmed the company’s commitment to strategic and disciplined growth, supported by strong internal cash flows. “We aim to more than double our scale and more than triple our cash profits in the next five years,” he said. The company reported revenues of ₹7,830 crore, a 15% operating margin, and a net profit of ₹60 crore for FY25.
Group Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla called the move timely, citing India’s rising consumption potential. “India stands at the cusp of a transformative growth phase, with consumption poised to be a primary driver,” he said, adding that the company aspires to build India’s first portfolio of billion-dollar fashion and lifestyle brands.
The company, which houses marquee brands like Louis Philippe, Van Heusen, Allen Solly, and Peter England, already has two brands crossing ₹2,000 crore in annual sales and another two surpassing ₹1,000 crore.
According to Dikshit, the ₹300 crore yearly investment will primarily go toward retail expansion, with a smaller portion dedicated to building internal capabilities and upgrading technology. While the company currently has no immediate acquisition plans, it sees significant growth potential in brands like Reebok and Van Heusen’s innerwear line.
ABLBL made its stock market debut on Monday following its demerger from Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail. After opening at ₹167.75 on the BSE, the stock rose briefly before closing 4.97% lower at ₹159.40, with a market valuation of ₹19,451.50 crore.
