Neville Noronha, CEO & Managing Director, Avenue Supermarts had then said that overall, 2019-20 saw a healthy 24 percent revenue growth while PAT margins were in line with expectations.

“Our (Like for Like) LFL growth for FY2020 was 10.9 percent. Two reasons for this. One is that stores that are more than 5 years old grew at a rate lower than the previous year’s and most of the stores that are younger are peaking faster, even before they qualify for the 24 months LFL measurement,” he had said.

The company has opened 38 new stores during 2019-20.
