REDTAPE was carved out in February 2023 when the domestic branded retail business under the REDTAPE name was demerged into a separately listed company, REDTAPE Limited, which now runs over 390 physical stores across India and sells sportswear and fashion footwear under its own identity. After FY26 closed, the board principally approved a proposal to evaluate segregation of the company's distinct business verticals, including manufacturing, branded retail/e-commerce, and leather processing operations, into one or more separate entities. The company operates manufacturing facilities in Gautam Buddha Nagar and Kashipur (Uttarakhand) and markets branded footwear and accessories across India through its own retail network and multi-channel distribution. Its products are distributed through multiple channels, including e-commerce platforms, the company's own website and exclusive brand outlets across Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities in India.
