With "dual growth engines" ABFRL and ABLBL, the Aditya Birla Group is strategically positioned to capture emerging opportunities in the Indian fashion industry, which is undergoing rapid evolution, its Chairperson, Kumar Mangalam Birla said. Addressing shareholders of Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd (ABFRL) in the latest annual report, Birla said India's per capita GDP is expected to grow from USD 2,500 to over USD 4,000 over the next five years, as it is entering a phase of aspirational consumption. This, in turn, will drive significant shifts from the unorganised to the organised retail sector, accelerate demand across all fashion categories and fuel creation of brands. "With India's dynamic economic growth, an expanding middle class and rapid shifts in consumer behaviour, we are confident that the opportunities ahead are significant," said Birla. The group has completed the demerger of Aditya Birla Lifestyle Brands Ltd (ABLBL) from ABFRL and subsequently listed in June 2025.
