Carrefour Plans Controlled Expansion in India with New Stores and Acquisitions
French retailer Carrefour has re-entered the Indian market through a partnership with Dubai-based Apparel Group, opening a 50,000 sq ft hypermarket in Greater Noida. The company plans to expand with around 50 stores over the next few years across Delhi-NCR and western India, focusing initially on hypermarkets before introducing smaller formats like Carrefour Express in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. Carrefour is also open to acquisitions to accelerate growth and aims for a controlled, strategic rollout rather than rapid mass expansion.
