Kishore Biyani-led Pantaloon Retail India has clocked over 14% YoY sales growth in May from its value, home and lifestyle retailing segments against the year-ago period. The Future Group firm, which has chalked out ambitious expansion plans, also plans to open nine additional Central malls by December 2009.
The company's three segments put together generated sales worth Rs 619.3 crore last month, against Rs 540.7 crore in May 2008, up by 14.5 per cent.
Future Group founder and CEO Kishore Biyani plans to roll out 10 new malls, which will add 1.5 to 1.7 million sq ft to the company's existing retail space of 14 million sq ft. Biyani will fuel the expansion using Rs 367.5 crore it raised last month through preferential allotment of shares and warrants. Pantaloon Retail would also inject close to Rs 250 crore within the next year-and-half for setting up 10 Central malls in the country.
The retail major has also sought to raise additional long term funds of up to Rs 1,000 crore in one or more tranches through issuance of securities to various investors. Besides, the supermarket operator will also roll out six Big Bazaar and eight Food Bazaar stores stores by July-end.
