Press Release Summary: With rising popularity of organized retailing and vast growth
opportunities in rural areas, the Indian retail industry is expected to reach US$ 50
Billion by 2011.

Press Release Body: The Indian organized retail market is passing through a
transition phase and is poised to emerge as the most attractive retail destination
across the world, as per our new research report - "Booming Retail Sector in India"
- that expects the market to reach US$ 50 Billion by 2011.

The report says that organized retailing has emerged as one of the fastest growing
sectors of the Indian economy. The introduction of mall culture in the country has
further intensified the expansion of the industry. With increasing popularity of
organized retailing, retailers have started focusing on other retail formats too to
raise the penetration level and expand their current operations to untapped areas.
Most of the retailers in India, including Reliance, Bharti and Express Retail
Services, are now shifting attention towards convenience stores to target those
consumers who are not comfortable with shopping at big malls on the outskirts of the
cities.

Our report highlights that the retail transformation is not confined to cities only
and the trend is slowly creeping into rural areas too. However, the growth rate in
rural settings is slower than that in urban dwellings due to infrastructure
constraints. As per our report, the Indian rural retail market represents over 50%
of total retail market in the country and is expected to maintain its status quo in
future as well. Many corporate have stepped into the rural retail market seeing the
rising consumption levels and high growth potential as compared to urban market.
Thus, the Indian rural retail market is providing immense opportunities to retailers
for expanding their operations at their doorstep or in nearby areas.
