Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited (ABFRL) is an Indian fashion retail company headquartered in Mumbai. It emerged after the consolidation of the branded apparel businesses of Aditya Birla Nuvo Limited (ABNL), comprising ABNL's Madura Fashion division and ABNL's subsidiaries Pantaloons Fashion and Retail (PFRL) and Madura Fashion & Lifestyle (MFL), in May 2015. Post consolidation, PFRL was renamed Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd.[5]

History

A Pantaloons store in Kolkata.

Madura Garments was established in 1988, acquired by the Aditya Birla Group in 1999 and was renamed Madura Fashion & Lifestyle in 2010.[6][7]

The garment activities of group holding company Aditya Birla Nuvo and another group entity, Madura Garments Lifestyle Retail, would be demerged into listed firm Pantaloons Fashion & Retail Ltd (PFRL) under the scheme of arrangement. Madura owns and retails brands such as Louis Philippe, Van Heusen, Allen Solly, Peter England[5]

In 2012, Aditya Birla Nuvo acquired major stakes in Pantaloons. In 2015, Pantaloons was renamed Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd. (ABFRL).[8]

ABFRL acquired the Jaypore brand and bought 51% stake in Finesse International Design that runs the designer wear label Shantanu & Nikhil in 2019.[9]

In 2020, Flipkart acquired a 7.8% stake in ABFRL for ₹ 1,500 crore.[10]

In 2021, ABFRL entered into an agreement to buy a 51% stake in the designer brand Sabyasachi. Later that year, ABFRL entered into a partnership with designer Tarun Tahiliani. ABFRL also partnered with Authentic Brands Group to take on Reebok's operations in India.[11] In January 2022, ABFRL acquired 51% stake in House of Masaba Lifestyle.[12]

In December 2021, ABFRL experienced a data breach carried out by ShinyHunters, whose ransom demand was allegedly rejected. Subsequently, customer information including 5.4 million unique email addresses, names, phone numbers, physical addresses, order histories and passwords stored as MD5 hashes was dumped publicly on a hacking forum.[13][14]

In April 2024, ABFRL's subsidiary Madura Fashion & Lifestyle demerged into a separate public listed entity.[15]

In May 2024, ABFRL acquired an additional stake in its subsidiary Indivinity Clothing Retail Private Limited (ICRPL) which increased ABFRL's holding from 80% to 85.54%.[16]
