10 March 2022, Mumbai:

After declining 40% last fiscal because of Covid-19, revenue of brick and mortar (B&M) apparel retailers will grow 20- 25% on-year this fiscal, driven by a strong recovery in demand despite the third wave of the pandemic, said Crisil.

Apparel retailers, which could barely break even last fiscal, should log operating margins of 5-7% this fiscal — compared with about 9% pre-pandemic — backed by improving operating leverage, continued cost rationalisation, and prudent inventory management.
