Why it matters
The contraction in margins was attributed to higher wage inflation and other expenses, causing the EBITDA margin to contract 28 basis points year-over-year. Motilal Oswal noted that discounting and customer acquisition intensity could weigh on DMart’s growth and margins over the medium term.
