After the north, Bharti Retail is planning to land upon the western India with its first hypermarket in Mumbai. The company has signed a 60,000 sq ft store in the Neptune Magnet mall of the city’s Bhandup area and this is expected to open in the first quarter of 2011. After Mumbai, the retailer plans to open 20 more stores in cities such as Mumbai, Pune and Nanded. Currently, Bharti Retail operates more than 90 stores across Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and New Delhi, among others. Entry of the Bharti Retail stores into the western Indian market is a new business advantage for in-store signage companies.
