MUMBAI|SEPTEMBER 13,2025|SKY LINK TIMES|
Walmart-owned Flipkart India Private Limited reported a significant widening of losses in FY25, raising concerns about profitability in India’s booming e-commerce sector. According to financial data shared by business intelligence platform Tofler, the company posted a net consolidated loss of ₹5,189 crore for the financial year ending March 2025 (FY25), compared to ₹4,248.3 crore in FY24.
Revenue Growth Outpaces Market Trends
Despite deepening losses, Flipkart registered a strong 17.3% growth in consolidated revenue, which rose to ₹82,787.3 crore in FY25, up from ₹70,541.9 crore in FY24. The growth reflects continued demand for online shopping across categories such as electronics, fashion, and groceries, where Flipkart has a dominant presence.
Rising Expenses Outweigh Gains
The company’s aggressive expansion and sales strategies came at a cost. Total expenses jumped 17.4% to ₹88,121.4 crore during FY25, nearly matching revenue growth.
The biggest expense driver was purchase of stock-in-trade, which surged to ₹87,737.8 crore, up from ₹74,271.2 crore last year.
Finance costs also climbed 57% to ₹454 crore, further denting profitability.
This cost-revenue imbalance contributed directly to the widened losses.

Flipkart Losses Internet Narrows
Interestingly, Flipkart’s marketplace arm, Flipkart Internet Private Limited, managed to reduce its losses despite challenging market conditions.
Net loss narrowed to ₹1,494.2 crore in FY25, down from ₹2,358.7 crore in FY24.
Standalone losses also fell to ₹1,568.6 crore, compared to ₹2,296.2 crore a year earlier.
Revenues increased 14% to ₹20,746 crore, while consolidated revenues for the Internet unit stood at ₹20,807.4 crore.
This improvement suggests that Flipkart’s core e-commerce platform is moving towards greater efficiency, even though the larger group is weighed down by high procurement and financing costs.
Flipkart’s Position in Indian E-Commerce
Founded in 2007 by Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal, Flipkart has grown into one of India’s largest e-commerce platforms. With customer-friendly services such as Cash on Delivery, No Cost EMI, and easy returns, Flipkart continues to battle Amazon, Reliance’s JioMart, and Tata Neu for dominance in the Indian online retail market.
While Walmart’s backing gives Flipkart the financial muscle to sustain losses, the latest results highlight the challenges of balancing rapid growth with profitability in India’s highly competitive digital commerce sector.
