UK-India FTA opens new growth avenue for Raymond Lifestyle, says Gautam Singhania

Raymond Lifestyle, which reported Rs 7,000 crore-plus annual revenue during fiscal year 2026, has planned to sharpen its focus on category expansion and international growth opportunities.

Commenting on the performance, Gautam Hari Singhania, Executive Chairman of Raymond Lifestyle, said the company’s future growth strategy is centered on lifestyle evolution and market expansion.

The company is broadening its presence beyond its traditional strengths through a push into adjacent categories, including Ethnix for occasion wear, innerwear, and the recently launched Chairman’s Collection. According to Singhania, these initiatives are aimed at strengthening Raymond’s position as a comprehensive menswear and lifestyle brand.

“Our strategic entry into adjacent categories—Ethnix for occasion wear, Innerwear, and the newly launched Chairman’s Collection—is a deliberate extension of our trusted brand, designed to own the complete wardrobe of the modern Indian man,” he said.

Singhania also highlighted the opportunities emerging from the UK-India Free Trade Agreement, describing it as a significant catalyst for the company’s international ambitions.

“The UK-India Free Trade Agreement opens an exciting avenue for our global ambitions. We step into the future not just as participants in the global fashion arena, but as leaders shaping it,” he said.

The company’s performance comes amid growing demand for premium apparel and occasion wear in India, with Raymond Lifestyle positioning itself to capture a larger share of consumers’ wardrobe spending across categories.

Raymond Lifestyle posted a record total consolidated income of Rs 7,034 crore in FY26, registering an 11% year-on-year growth. EBITDA for the year stood at Rs 804 crore. Its retail footprint also expanded significantly, with the overall store count crossing 1,650 locations.
