Bata’s Performance and Expansion in India

India remains one of the most crucial markets for the Bata Group. Under Kataria’s leadership, Bata India recorded a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20% between FY21 and FY25, nearly doubling revenue to Rs 3,554 crore. However, sales growth remained flat in FY25, largely attributed to a shift in demand from formal to casual and sports footwear.

India also emerged as Bata’s largest market by volume, with over 50 million pairs sold annually. The company operates four factories in India, making it the largest shoe manufacturer in Asia.

Company Overview and Strategic Direction

Founded in 1894, the Bata Group operates in over 70 countries and sells across multiple labels including Bata, North Star, and Power. With Mytaros stepping into the CEO role, the company aims to reinforce its product innovation and global distribution strategy.

The upcoming leadership change may draw investor attention, particularly in India where Bata holds significant market presence. Any shift in corporate strategy or growth outlook could influence the Bata share price. Market analysts are expected to closely monitor developments around innovation, retail expansion, and digital transformation under the new leadership.

While Mytaros brings global operational experience, the performance of the India business will remain central to the group’s overall growth. Investors are likely to track the Bata share price in the coming quarters for signs of strategic shifts or margin impact. As the transition unfolds, the company’s ability to adapt to changing consumer preferences could determine the trajectory of the Bata share price.
