"During this quarter, the focus was on sustaining top line growth. This quarter has been seen a moderation in customer demand and we expect the same mood to follow through the next quarter too," V-Mart Retail Chairman and Managing Director Lalit Agarwal said. To cater to the weak buying mood, the company is focusing on a product range in budget price , Agarwal added.
"However as the monsoon is panning out fairly well till date, we expect the mood to turn for the better during the 3rd quarter festive season," he said. On the outlook of the company, he said V-mart would launch products for the young and trendy youth with flashy colours. "Also we are looking to introduce fashionable sweat shirts with hoods, zippers, kangaroo pockets and heavy prints, and a special range of cardigans with prints for ladies.
For girls, we have apparels with Applique work and stone embellishment," he said.
