Lulu Group, a subsidiary of Indian-owned Emke Group, based in Abu Dhabi, will open its first mall in India in the first quarter of next year in Kochi. The mall costing US$ 353.9 million will house more than 300 national and international brands that include seven multiplex theatres, family amusement centres, a bowling alley, restaurants, and a 3,500-seat food court. With such development boosting the Indian retail sales, predicted to increase from $395bn this year to $785bn by 2015, is an unmatched opportunity for the signage players associated with in-shop displays/signs.
