Dear Sir,
The most interesting part is the monthly sales of Home town. Its 64 cores already. In next few months it wil cross 100 cr. This business is higher margin business than the traditional retail business. I am new excited about this business. How do u see the prospect of this business? How is it doing now. Any idea Sir?

It is good to note that Home Retail sales will soon be as big as their lifestyle retail. Excellent offering capitalizing on the Real estate boom.
Often we forget there's a company behind every stock,and there's only one reason why stocks go up. Companies go from doing poorly to doing well or small companies grow to large companies.

By 2010 Home Town should become as big as Value (Big Bazaar) and larger then Life style (Pantaloon) so the opportunities on scaling up and executing is huge!

Home Town has huge potential. Just look at the Home Depot Story in The US. Even if it accomplishes a fraction of its promise, it can be a great spin off.
Actually, PRIL has shades of Walmart, Home Depot, JC Penny ( just to name a few)in its different verticals.

Festivals have little efect on same store sales per se. That is because even last year people must have bought in Diwali!
