Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Rises 7.2% on Heavy Volumes

Mumbai, August 22, 2025 – Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited (NSE: ABFRL) rose sharply in Friday’s session, with the stock gaining 4.4% in early trade to hit ₹79.00. It opened at ₹75.65 and briefly touched ₹80.14 before easing off. Volumes were strong, nearly 298 lakh shares changed hands, worth about ₹236 crore, showing renewed buying interest.

By the close, Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail share ended at ₹81.16, up more than 7% for the day. Even so, the counter has had a tough year, sliding 31% over 12 months and another 15% in the past six. The near-term picture looks steadier: shares have risen just over 7% in the past month.

Earlier this week, the share moved in a tight band between ₹75.60 and ₹81.99. The company’s market capitalisation now stands at roughly ₹9,870 crore. On a longer view, the stock has been volatile, swinging from a 52-week peak of ₹121.71 to a low of ₹70.55.

ABFRL has bounced back nearly 12% from its June trough. But the mood around the stock remains cautious. The company has reported losses for eight consecutive quarters, and the removal of its contracts from the derivatives (F&O) segment is seen as another drag on sentiment.

Part of the Aditya Birla Group, ABFRL runs some of India’s most recognised fashion labels, including Pantaloons, Van Heusen, Allen Solly and Peter England. Listed since 2013, the stock is tracked under the Nifty India Corporate Group Index.
