DMart Ready shut online grocery in 7 marginal cities, now operating in 11 metros, amid quick-commerce pressure. Avenue Supermarts posted 15.1% revenue and 12.8% profit growth, added 3 stores, and announced a COO reshuffle.

Why this matters

The exit follows a soft Q1 that sent DMart down 4% and split brokerages, with PL Capital flagging rich valuation and quick-commerce pressure amid clouded metro growth.
