Carrefour is trying again in India

Nearly 12 years after exiting India, Carrefour has opened a store in the New Delhi area in partnership with a local franchise partner. Initially, the retailer aims to open 50 stores in northern India.

Second attempt

Through a strategic franchise partnership with the Dubai-based Apparel Group, Carrefour opened a hypermarket spanning approximately 4,600 m² in Greater Noida West, east of New Delhi, on August 14. This marks a return for the French retailer, which withdrew from India in 2014 after operating five cash-and-carry stores there.
