Reliance Retail enters offline pharmacy retail by opening a Netmeds store in Chennai, marking expansion into physical pharma retail format.

Why this matters

The Chennai store follows Reliance Retail's 2% YoY Ebitda dip tied to digital commerce and dark-store investment, showing continued push into pharma omnichannel despite margin pressure.

Store-opening signals steady at 1,275 in the past 90 days.
