Noida-based DLF Mall of India continues to strengthen its retail and F&B portfolio by welcoming more than 30 new international and home-grown brands across categories in Q2 of the current financial year.
While it has been an arduous year for businesses across the globe, the domestic retail industry has been positive, and organized retail is witnessing a faster recovery following the easing of restrictions and pent-up demand.
With this, DLF Mall of India has already opened 25 new retail stores across fashion, beauty, electronics, and food & beverage in the last three months and is aiming at opening another 5 stores by the end of October.

“We are the first port of call for both domestic and international brands and delighted to add 30 new brands in an already strong mix of retail and F&B offerings. With increasing inoculation and life returning to normalcy, we are confident that the retail industry will see an upward swing, and there will be tremendous scope for growth in the business,” she added.
Manish Mehrotra, VP and Centre Head, DLF Mall of India, said “With the reopening post-COVID-19 second wave, we have already witnessed a consistent growth in footfalls and sales and steadily moving towards normalcy as consumer sentiment has improved due to faster vaccinations.”
“We are receiving a phenomenal response from our patrons and with the festive season around the corner, we are confident that the recovery for retail and F&B business will be accelerated. We are expanding the existing portfolio of brands at the mall to provide newer experiences to our customers without compromising on their health or safety,” he added.
