## History

[edit]

A DMart store in the suburbs of Udupi.

Incorporated in 2000 by Radhakishan Damani, DMart opened its first store in Powai, Mumbai, in 2002.[4][5] In its early years, the company adopted everyday low price strategy[5] and pursued "slow expansion", growing to 29 stores across Maharashtra and Gujarat in 2010. Unlike other Indian supermarkets which typically leased 4,000 sq ft properties, DMart operated much larger stores, ranging up to 30,000 sq ft, most of which it owned.[6][7]

In 2013, DMart reported having 65 stores across Maharashtra and Gujarat, along with one store each in Hyderabad and Bangalore as it began expanding to other states. At the time, DMart became the third largest retail company by revenue, after Reliance Retail and Future Group.[8]

In October 2016, DMart had 112 stores, having expanded to Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Telangana.[9][10] In December 2016, the company started its e-commerce venture called DMart Ready, allowing users to order groceries and household products online.[11][12]

The company launched its initial public offering (IPO) in March 2017 and got listed on the National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange. On its listing date 22 March 2017, it became the 65th most valuable Indian firm.[13] By 2018, it entered Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Punjab, Delhi NCR and Daman.[14]

In 2021, The Ken noted that DMart's newer stores ranged between 50,000 and 60,000 sq ft, nearly twice the average size of its existing stores.[15] In 2022, DMart surpassed 300 stores, with three-fourths located in its cluster-states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana.[16][14]
