Retail In India

Editor's Notes

  1. according to Mark Ashman, CEO of the company. The 51:49 joint venture between UK‘s Marks and Spencer and Reliance Retail Ltd already has 15 stores in India
  2. JSW Steel currently has 50 such steel retail outlets called JSW Shoppe and is targeting to increase it to 200 by March 2010
  3. A recent study by CRISIL has estimated a current annual total loss of about Rs. 1,000 billion in the agricultural supply chain, 57 per cent of which is due to avoidable wastage and the rest due to avoidable costs of storage and commissions ( CRISIL Research, June 2007). Organized retailers have already started procuring fruit and vegetables from farmers directly bypassing the various intermediaries who add more costs than value to the food chain. They are investing heavily on logistics in the form of centralized warehousing and distribution centres, transport and cold storage, either directly or through engaging third party logistics companies.
  4. According to India Retail Report 2009 by Images, "India's rural markets Offer a sea of opportunity for the retail sector. The urban-retail split in consumer spending stands at 9:11, with rural India accounting for 55 percent of private retail consumption." As per IBEF, rural India accounted for almost half of the Indian retail market, which was worth about USD 300 billion. With most of the retail markets getting saturated in Tier I and Tier II cities, the next phase of growth is likely to be seen in the rural markets. Major domestic retailers have started setting up farm linkages. Few Examples include, DCM‘s Hariyali Kisan Bazaars, Pantaloon Godrej‘s joint venture Aadhars, ITC‘s Choupal Sagars, Tata‘s Kisan Sansars and Reliance Fresh are some of the established rural retail chains.
