Myntra secures over ₹1,062 crore funding from FK Myntra Holdings
New Delhi: Online commerce platform Myntra, part of Walmart-backed Flipkart Group, has raised ₹ 1,062.50 crore from parent FK Myntra Holdings Pvt Ltd (Singapore), according to financial data accessed by business intelligence platform Tofler.
This investment involved the issuance of 1.94 million shares to the parent. Each share had a nominal amount of ₹ 1 with a significant premium of ₹ 5,465.23 per share.
The move comes as Myntra has been expanding the scope of its business both in India and overseas. Earlier this month Myntra announced its entry into international shipping, starting with Singapore, to cater to the substantial Indian diaspora overseas with subsequent plans to expand in other markets.
Myntra, started in 2007, has 70 million monthly active users and sells a range of international as well as homegrown apparel , beauty and home goods.
In 2024 the company had received $81 million in funding from parent Flipkart, per news reports. Flipkart had acquired Myntra in 2014.
Last year, the retailer piloted a quick delivery service in November and subsequently scaled up its 30-minute delivery in Bengaluru. More markets like Delhi now receive faster deliveries.
Additonally, Myntra has been expanding its brand partnerships in the face of a greater competition at home. Myntra competes with Ajio, Meesho and Nykaa Fasion among others.
Last year, Myntra announced a multi-year franchise partnership with NYSE-listed Abercrombie & Fitch Co. paving the way for the launch of Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister stores in India.
Facilitated through Myntra's business-to-business wholesale entity, this collaboration will see Myntra Jabong establish brick-and-mortar stores, regional e-commerce sites, and branded digital storefronts in India, leveraging a network of licensed and independent third-party operators. It has similar partnerships with Mango, Nautica, and British retailer Next.
Last fiscal year, Myntra's revenue from operations grew 14.7% to ₹ 5,121.8 crore, per regulatory filings.

India cuts crude edible oil duty to 10% to control prices, aid demand
To tame inflation in oils and fats, India has lowered the basic import tax on crude and refined edible oils by 10 percentage points, a move that is also expected to benefit the local processing industry. The decision is likely to bring down edible oil prices, boost demand, and subsequently increase overseas purchases of palm oil, soyoil and sunflower oil. India has halved the basic customs duty on crude palm oil, crude soyoil and crude sunflower oil to 10 per cent from the earlier 20 per cent, the government said in a notification. This will effectively bring down the total import duty on the three oils to 16.5 per cent from 27.5 per cent, as they are also subject to India's Agriculture Infrastructure and Development Cess and Social Welfare Surcharge. Welcoming the move, Sudhakar Desai, president of the Indian Vegetable Oil Producers' Association (IVPA), said the government's decision to reduce the basic import duty on crude edible oil to 10 per cent while leaving net refined oil duties unchanged at 35.25 per cent would increase the duty differential between crude and refined edible oil to 19.25 per cent. 'It is a significantly bold move towards ensuring Make in India and also protecting the sector from an influx of refined oils causing capacity injury to the vegetable oil sector. This move will not just strengthen the domestic refining capacities of Indian refiners but also ensure a fair price to oilseed farmers and a fair price to consumers,' Desai said. According to IVPA data, imports of refined palm oil surged from 4.58 lakh metric tonnes during June–September 2024 to 8.24 lakh metric tonnes (representing about 30 per cent of total palm oil imports) in the period October 2024–February 2025. Additionally, under the South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA) provisions of zero duty, refined oils have been glutting the Indian market due to the huge refined oil duty advantage enjoyed by neighbouring countries.

PNN Vidarbha (Maharashtra) [India], May 30: In a region once known for drought and farmer distress, Asmita Organic Farms is leading a quiet revolution--rooted in tradition, strengthened by technology, and driven by a profound sense of purpose. Founded by renowned urban development leader Muzaffar Hussain and his U.S.-educated entrepreneur son Mazhar Syed, Asmita Organic Farms has transformed acres of barren land in Maharashtra's Vidarbha region into a thriving model of regenerative agriculture using organic farming methods. Today, the farm supports hundreds of farmers, nurtures biodiversity, and produces ethically grown, fully traceable food consumed across urban India. "For far too long, food in India has come with vague labels and broken promises. At Asmita Organic Farms, we're building a movement--not just a brand--rooted in radical transparency, soil-to-shelf traceability, and respect for both people and the planet. This isn't about chasing trends; it's about reviving Indian farming wisdom, empowering our farmers with modern tools, and giving consumers clean, honest food they can trust. Our vision is to spark a quiet revolution--where every Indian knows their food's story and chooses nourishment that heals both body and earth," says Mazhar Syed, Co-Founder of Asmita Organic Farms. Spread across more than 150 acres, AsmitA Organic Farms is a model of biodiversity and sustainable agriculture. The farm grows black pepper, turmeric, ginger, black ginger, Khapli wheat, cinnamon, nutmeg, and bay leaves. It also cultivates four varieties of cashews, several types of tamarind, and 22 varieties of jackfruit. Trees such as bamboo, mahogany, silver oak, and kokum enrich the landscape. The orchards yield custard apples, sweet limes, oranges, coconuts, and cardamom bananas. A highlight is the mango collection, which features 15 premium varieties, including Gir Talala, Gujarat Kesar, Dussehri, and the rare Malihabad Chausa. The initiative operates on a farmer-first model, offering buyback guarantees, hands-on training programs, and access to high-quality organic inputs. Special emphasis is placed on gender equity, with dedicated programs to empower and train women farmers throughout the region. By leveraging precision farming techniques and AgriTech partnerships, Asmita integrates data-driven methods to optimize yields while protecting long-term soil health. The farm's clean-label product line, available in over 400 retail outlets across Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, and Indore, features QR-coded biodegradable packaging--allowing customers to trace each item from soil to shelf. Asmita Organic's product portfolio--including monk fruit nut butters, brown rice crisps, and cold-pressed oils--is designed with both consumer health and environmental sustainability in mind. With a growing urban footprint and a deeply rooted rural mission, Asmita Organic Farms is redefining India's agricultural future--prioritizing transparency over trend, community over commerce, and purpose over profit.
