Slight moderation in revenue growth (+16% YoY vs. 20% YoY in 2Q)
*VMART’s 3Q revenue grew 16% YoY to INR10.3b (5% lower than our last published estimate), driven by 10% blended SSSG (vs. 15% YoY in 2Q) and 7.5% YoY store addition.
*SSSG for VMart (core) stood at 10%, while SSSG for Unlimited came in at 11%.
