In 2025, Reliance closed 2,155 stores, about 6 stores a day. In 2024, they shut down 1,044 stores but also opened 2,659 new ones, adding roughly 500 stores overall. Now, Reliance has 19,340 stores across India.
So, what’s going on? Reliance isn’t closing down for good. Instead, they are smartly moving stores from old, underperforming locations to better cities and malls.
This strategy helps them cut losses and boost profits. Retail profit margins have grown from 10% four years ago to 15% today. Reliance Retail is becoming stronger by focusing on quality over quantity.
If you think Reliance Retail is struggling, think again! They are just reshaping their business to win bigger.
