Bata India stock was last at INR 619.85 on the NSE on October 6, 2026 at 3:29 p.m. IST, up 1.44 percent from INR 611.05. The latest operating picture comes from Q1 FY27, when revenue from operations reached INR 978.95 crore and profit after tax stood at INR 63.98 crore, according to Nivata Wealth on September 22, 2026.

Q1 revenue rose 3.9 percent

The June 2026 quarter delivered revenue of INR 9,789 million, compared with INR 9,421 million in Q1 FY26, an increase of 3.9 percent. ScanX reported that adjusted pre-tax profit rose 21.7 percent to INR 907 million, while the adjusted PBT margin improved to 9.3 percent from 8.0 percent.

The comparison points to a margin-led quarter rather than a pure volume surge. Reported net income increased from INR 519.99 million in Q1 FY26 to INR 639.84 million in Q1 FY27, while net margin moved from 5.5 percent to 6.5 percent, according to Simply Wall St on October 4, 2026.

Retail efficiency drives the story

Bata India crossed 2,000 exclusive brand outlets and expanded its franchise network to 750 stores in Q1 FY27. Zero Base Merchandising reached 775 doors, while full-price sales rose to 88.0 percent from 73.0 percent in Q1 FY26, according to ScanX.

The operating counterweight is cost pressure. The same report cited raw material inflation of 5 percent to 6 percent and foreign-exchange losses linked to license liabilities, factors that can limit the benefit of higher full-price selling in later quarters.

For investors, the key test is whether the improved margin profile can persist as the company expands lower-cost franchise distribution. The Q1 figures show better profitability, but the stock remains close to its yearly low of INR 605 and well below its 52-week high of INR 1,238.

Stock remains near yearly low

Bata India stock was last at INR 619.85 on the NSE on October 6, 2026 at 3:29 p.m. IST, with a 52-week range of INR 605 to INR 1,238. The market capitalization was INR 79.7 billion on that date, leaving the Q1 margin improvement as the central issue for the next results cycle.
