Lulu Group International, one of the world’s largest retail chains, is set to expand its operations in India with a new project in Nagpur. The company is in the early planning stages for this expansion, along with upcoming shopping malls in Ahmedabad and Visakhapatnam. This move aligns with India’s growing retail and economic landscape.
Lulu Group’s Growing Presence in India
During an exclusive conversation with ANI, M.A. Yusuff Ali, Chairman and Managing Director of Lulu Group, shared insights into the company’s vision for India. He highlighted that the retail giant is committed to contributing to India’s economic growth under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“We want to be a part of India’s journey towards becoming a USD 5 trillion economy. We are currently constructing one of the biggest shopping malls in Ahmedabad and are in the negotiation phase for a new mall in Visakhapatnam. Additionally, we are in the initial stage of architectural planning for a new project in Nagpur,” Yusuff Ali stated.
Nagpur: A Key Focus for Lulu Group
Nagpur is fast emerging as a strategic city for business expansion, and Lulu Group has identified it as a priority for its next retail venture. With rapid urbanization and growing consumer demand, Nagpur provides a lucrative market for international retail chains.
“Nagpur is one of our priorities, and we are currently in the early planning stage for our expansion there,” Yusuff Ali confirmed.
Visakhapatnam and Ahmedabad Projects
Lulu Group has already made significant strides in Visakhapatnam and Ahmedabad. The company has started constructing a massive shopping mall in Ahmedabad, which is expected to be one of the biggest in India. Meanwhile, discussions are ongoing for a mall in Visakhapatnam, a city with rising commercial potential.
Expressing his gratitude to the Andhra Pradesh government, Yusuff Ali acknowledged the support of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu in facilitating the expansion.
India and Qatar’s Strong Business Relations
Beyond retail, Yusuff Ali also emphasized the deep-rooted relationship between India and Qatar.
“The relationship between India and Qatar is brotherly. We saw our Prime Minister himself receive the Amir of Qatar at the airport, which reflects the strength of this bond. India is growing rapidly, and Qatar is a key partner in its journey,” he stated.
Qatar is looking to invest in several sectors in India, including:
- Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Digitalization and IT
- Food Processing and Food Security
These investments will further strengthen India’s economic infrastructure and provide new opportunities for businesses and employment.
Lulu Group’s Contribution to India’s Economy
Lulu Group’s expansion is not just about business growth; it is also a major contributor to India’s economy. The retail chain has already made significant investments in the country’s food processing sector and continues to support local employment and supply chains.
Future Outlook: What’s Next for Lulu Group in India?
As Lulu Group continues to expand its footprint in India, it is expected to:
- Create thousands of jobs in the retail and food sectors.
- Boost local economies by sourcing products from Indian businesses.
