Siyaram Silk Mills crosses ₹2,500 cr revenue, pivots store format
FY27 guidance: 12% revenue growth, 14% EBITDA margin. Store size doubles as smaller formats underperform.

- Revenue crossed ₹2,500 cr in FY26; FY27 guided at 12% growth.
- Store format shift from 4,000-5,000 sq ft to 6,000-10,000 sq ft due to underperformance.
- Preference share issuance awaits NCLT order.
Why it matters
A format pivot of this scale signals that management has acknowledged a misstep and is willing to change course. The FY27 guidance implies confidence in the larger-format model, but execution will be key—especially with Z-code and Bevo still in expansion phase.
What we're watching
- NCLT order timeline for preference share issuance.
- Same-store sales trends for new larger-format outlets.
- EBITDA margin trajectory toward the 14% target.
The full read
Siyaram Silk Mills ended FY26 with revenue crossing ₹2,500 crore, a milestone achieved amid a strategic shift in its retail approach. The company's decision to move from smaller stores (4,000-5,000 sq ft) to larger formats (6,000-10,000 sq ft) after underperformance of the former is a candid admission of what wasn't working. For FY27, management guided 12% revenue growth and a 14% EBITDA margin—ambitious but plausible if the larger stores deliver. Meanwhile, the pending NCLT order for preference share issuance remains a overhang. The concall offered no surprises beyond the format pivot, but that pivot itself is material: it changes the capital allocation and unit economics of the retail rollout for the foreseeable future.
