Footwear manufacturer Bata India Ltd on Monday announced a 73.26% decline in consolidated net profit to Rs. 13.9 crore (US $ 1.57 million) for the quarter ended 30th September 2025, as lower revenue and increased expenses weighed on its earnings.
In a regulatory filing, the company stated that it had posted a net profit of Rs. 51.98 crore (US $ 5.88 million) in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year. Consolidated revenue from operations fell to Rs. 801.33 crore (US $ 90.76 million), compared to Rs. 837.14 crore (US $ 94.82 million) a year earlier. Meanwhile, total expenses rose to Rs. 795.2 crore (US $ 90.07 million) in the quarter, up from Rs. 785.09 crore (US $ 88.92 million) during the same period last year.
Company officials noted that the quarter’s performance reflected ongoing cost pressures and subdued consumer demand in select categories. They stated that Bata India remains focused on operational efficiency, strengthening its product portfolio, and expanding its omnichannel presence to drive sustainable growth in the coming quarters.
Bata India retails a wide range of products including formal shoes, casual footwear, sports shoes, sandals, and accessories under labels such as Bata, Hush Puppies, Power, and North Star.
