senior Director of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Gaurav Gupta said in the report that “Mass grocery and apparel
are the fastest growing retail segments in India today.Foreign retailers can enter the country by forming a new joint venture company, which shall have multi-brand retail stores.Alternatively,the foreign investor may also consider acquiring 51 percent stakes in the existing business set-up of the potential local joint venture partner”.

and furnishing are expected to expand and mature in the next few years.
