Retailers Association of India (RAI) has reported 8% increase in retail sales for June 2025 compared to the same month last year, according to its 63rd Retail Business Survey. The survey highlights key trends shaping various retail segments across different regions of the country. The figures suggest that the retail sector gains momentum with June Sales Up 8% YoY.
“Retail sales grew by 7% in May and 8% in June, following nearly a year of 4–5% year-on-year growth. The festive season begins at the end of August, which may influence how demand evolves.
