Fabindia is facing losses
Earlier this year, Fabindia sold its subsidiary Organic India to Tata Consumer Products for an enterprise value of Rs 1900 crore. The reason behind taking this decision was that the company had canceled its Rs 4000 crore IPO after last year's unstable market conditions. However, there are some worrying situations regarding Fab India because even though the revenue may have increased by 21 percent to Rs 1668 crore in FY 2023 – the company has been facing losses for the last three years.
