Commenting on the resignation, Gautam Singhania said, “We thank Nawaz Modi Singhania for her services as a board member over the years. As a company, we are committed to upholding the highest level of governance while continuing to navigate the evolving landscape of the industry.”

 

With the inception in 1925, Raymond Group has been a pioneer and leader in fabric manufacturing and then forayed in other sectors such as engineering business and real estate. After demerging its lifestyle business into a separate listed entity in the year 2024, Raymond Ltd now has two core businesses of real estate and engineering.

 

The company reported a 61 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) decline in net profit for Q3FY25, coming in at Rs 72.3 crore, compared to Rs 185.4 crore in the same quarter last year. The profit appears lower due to the previous year’s inclusion of the Lifestyle business, which has since been demerged into a separate listed entity. Revenue from operations rose 40.6 per cent Y-o-Y to Rs 953.9 crore, driven primarily by the real estate segment.
