Apparel Group Redefines India’s Retail
Landscape with Carrefour’s Ambitious Entry
Apparel Group sets the stage for Carrefour’s
India journey, beginning with a 50,000+ sq. ft. Greater Noida flagship and
laying the foundation for future growth across North India
NEW DELHI, Sept. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) –
Apparel Group, a leading fashion and lifestyle retail conglomerate,
announces the entry of Carrefour into India with the opening of the renowned
retailer’s first flagship store at H&S Mall, Boulevard Walk, Greater Noida
West, marking the beginning of an ambitious new chapter for both businesses in
one of the world’s most dynamic consumer markets.
The opening marks a defining milestone in Apparel Group’s India growth
journey and its expansion into food and hypermarket retail. Bringing together
Carrefour’s international retail expertise and Apparel Group’s deep
understanding of the Indian market, the partnership sets the foundation for a
new generation of modern retail in India, built around quality, value,
convenience and the evolving aspirations of Indian consumers.
Spanning more than 50,000+ sq. ft., the Greater Noida flagship
introduces Carrefour’s established retail experience to India through a
proposition thoughtfully adapted for the local market. The store features more
than 15,000+ SKUs, including exclusive international products, alongside an
extensive selection of locally sourced products across fresh produce, grocery,
bakery, household essentials and personal care. More than a first store,
the flagship signals the scale of the ambition ahead. Apparel Group plans to
expand Carrefour’s presence across North India over the coming years, building
a nationwide retail platform supported by strong local partnerships, modern
supply chain capabilities and an integrated omnichannel ecosystem.
Under Apparel Group’s operational leadership, Carrefour will work with a
growing network of local suppliers and partners, strengthening connections
across India’s retail, supply chain and agricultural ecosystem.
Mr. Nilesh Ved, Chairman of APPCORP Holding, Owner of Apparel Group and
Founder of KORA Properties, said: “Carrefour’s entry into India represents more
than the arrival of an iconic retailer. It reflects our conviction in India’s
extraordinary potential and our ambition to help shape the next chapter of its
retail landscape. Together with Carrefour, we are combining international
retail expertise with deep local market understanding to build a platform
designed for scale, relevance and enduring value. This flagship is the
beginning of a much larger journey, one that will take Carrefour to more
cities, serve more communities and create new opportunities across India’s
evolving consumer ecosystem.”
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Patrick Lasfargues, Executive Director –
International Partnership, Carrefour, said: “Today's launch marks a significant
milestone for Carrefour as we officially begin our retail journey in India. We
see India as one of the world's most dynamic consumer markets, underpinned by
strong economic fundamentals, a rapidly evolving retail landscape and immense
long-term potential. Our partnership with Apparel Group brings Carrefour's
global expertise with deep local market knowledge, creating a strong platform
for sustainable growth. This flagship store is the first step in our long-term
ambition to build a nationwide network and a robust omnichannel retail business
that delivers quality, value and convenience to customers across India.”
India represents one of the most compelling growth opportunities in
modern retail, powered by rising consumer aspirations, urbanisation and the
continued evolution of organised retail. With the sector projected to exceed
US$2.36 trillion by 2030, the opportunity extends beyond market growth to
shaping how the next generation of Indian consumers shop, connect and
experience retail.
Apparel Group and Carrefour aim to build precisely that model. The
venture will combine Carrefour’s extensive international capabilities with
Apparel Group’s local market expertise to bring a broader world of products and
experiences to Indian consumers. Alongside the physical store network, Apparel
Group will develop an integrated omnichannel ecosystem powered by modern
logistics infrastructure, technology and strategic local partnerships, creating
a platform built to evolve with India’s ambitions.
The Greater Noida flagship is only the beginning. It represents a
long-term ambition to build Carrefour into one of India’s most relevant,
accessible and trusted retail destinations, creating enduring value for
consumers, suppliers, communities and the wider economy as the network expands
across the country.
