French retailer Carrefour is set to re-enter India through a franchise partnership with Apparel Group.
The brand will start by focusing on North India, with plans to expand nationwide. The first Carrefour stores are scheduled to open in the NCR region in 2025.
Patrick Lasfargues, Carrefour’s Executive Director of International Partnership, stated, “We will expand using various formats to adapt to India’s retail landscape. India has become a key element of our Carrefour International Partnership 2026 development plan, representing a major advancement in our strategy to enter over 10 new countries by 2026.”
