Ownership and corporate structure
According to Wikipedia, Madura owns and retails brands such as Louis Philippe, Van Heusen, Allen Solly and Peter England. Madura Garments was established in 1988, was acquired by the Aditya Birla Group in 1999 and was renamed Madura Fashion & Lifestyle in 2010.
The corporate structure has changed recently. The Madura business was part of Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail (ABFRL), headquartered in Mumbai, before the Aditya Birla Group demerged it into a separate listed entity, Aditya Birla Lifestyle Brands Limited, with effect from 1 May 2025. The source does not describe the transfer of Allen Solly in detail, so the brand is best described as part of the Madura business that moved.
Business model and distribution
The Madura description confirms that the group both owns and retails its brands, which points to a vertically integrated model with its own retail presence. This profile does not give store numbers or revenue because no current figures were verified from a cited source.
Why it matters
Allen Solly sits in a portfolio that is among the largest branded apparel groups in India. The 2025 demerger makes the Madura brands, including Allen Solly, a separately listed fashion and lifestyle business, which is relevant for anyone tracking the structure of the Indian apparel sector.
