For the quarter ended September 2020, on a consolidated basis, the company’s net sales declined by 49.05 per cent YoY to Rs 367.8 crore due to the business disruptions caused by the COVID-19 led lockdown.

During Q2FY21, the company launched digitally-enabled channels like Bata ChatShop, Bata Home Delivery, and Bata Store on Wheels.

With the reopening of the economy, the company’s stores have gradually resumed operations. As Bata enjoys a strong brand positioning, demand for its product is expected to revive soon.

Innovation via agile product creation, the introduction of new emerging digital channels, expansion of the company’s presence in tier 3-5 towns, etc. will be Bata’s priorities to build up strong revenue growth.
