Leading High Streets of India
India in the yore has been famous for its traditional markets - bazaars and fairs, which have over eons served
as cross-roads for retail and wholesale trade, barter and entertainment much like souks in the Middle East or
the grand bazaar (Kapali Carsi) in Istanbul. These traditional markets – bazaars or streets have had a pivotal
place in India’s history, and in contemporary times have metamorphosed themselves into shopping streets,
roads and junctions across big and small Indian cities. These shopping stretches in their varied formats have
for the better part of independent India’s history characterised “shopping and entertainment” interface for
traders and consumers.
The turn of the millennium witnessed the first organised built for purpose shopping malls emerge in the
India’s metropolitan cities, as well as the strengthening of the organised retail wave in the country.
The Indian retail market stood at USD 330 billion in 2007 (Source: IBEF) with a little more than 4% of it
being attributed to the organised retail sector. By 2010, the organised segment is expected to grow to
10%. The fast growth of organised retail is ably mirrored in terms of the phenomenal burst of new
built-for-purpose shopping mall development. The numbers are now well known – In 1999 there were
3 bespoke shopping centres in the country, and as of March 2008, there are an estimated 120 such
operational malls with another 500 such in the pipeline.
The shopping mall and retail revolution has hogged the headlines over the last few years and rightfully so.
However, in the background, India’s prime shopping streets, which are more often than not blessed with
excellent inner city locations, have rapidly and quietly adapted themselves to reflect the changing aspirations
of its consumers. Moreover, these streets have been able to capture the shift in the retail trade towards
organised national and international brands, yet subtly containing the buzz and excitement of their traditional
offerings. In fact shopping streets across cities in India have ably taken on the onus of showcasing New
India retail alongside the swank new malls.

Indian High Streets-Evolving Retail

Study Structure
In the last few years of the Indian retail revolution, there has been a substantial body of information and
analysis that has been generated on mall development, changing retail dynamics and consumer preferences.
The objective of this compilation is to complement the existing body of work on the retail mall sector with
information and knowledge about leading shopping streets of the country with a view to understand the
composition and essential parameters of these important components of the retail sector. It is important to
note that the terms ‘shopping street’ and ‘High-Street’ have been interchangeably used in the study to denote
the same retail formats.
This study has been conceptualised to fill the gap in structured information on leading Indian shopping
streets / high streets and collate facts on them including in brief - history of the street, its evolution over time,
rental values, shop format and ranges, spatial layout, accessibility and it’s positioning within the city. Since
it is a first-of-its-kind effort, apart from capturing the basic facts pertaining to leading shopping streets, an
indicative brand mapping of the selected high streets has also been compiled. The map attempts to indicate
the location of the brands and their relative positions along the street as of March 2008, which is the time
period during which the streets were physically surveyed.
It should be noted that shopping streets anywhere in the world are an extremely dynamic retail environment,
involving constant churn and change of retail brands from time to time. Hence the brands maps presented in
this study for the chosen shopping streets are valid and are pegged to the brand layout which was existing
in March 2008 and would inevitably change over time.Three high streets per city have been chosen for this
study from among the prominent main markets in each of the seven major cities of India -Delhi, Mumbai,
Pune, Bengalaru(earlier known as Bangalore), Hyderabad, Chennai and Kolkata. In order to map the major
brands and capture the brand mix in the high streets, a survey was conducted in each of the markets during
February - March 2008. This compilation covers 21 high streets covering a fair array of the cross-section of
the retail variety prevalent in the cities mentioned.
The choice of these leading shopping streets in the country is by no means comprehensive and the study in
no ways claims that all prime shopping streets in the cities mentioned have been included. In fact there may
be other shopping streets in these cities that may not have been included as part of this compilation. The
idea behind choosing three prominent shopping streets in the city was to construct a sample representation
of the range and retail diversity of India’s vibrant high streets. Whilst the endeavour has been to cover the
entire stretch in most of the chosen shopping streets, in some cases certain prime shopping stretches within
the High-Street have been chosen in order to keep the maps focused on the areas where retail concentration
is the highest along the length of the shopping street.

Shopping Street Vintage
An analysis of the vintage of India’s leading shopping streets reveals quite interesting insights. For this, the
decade during which the critical mass of retailing developed in the respective High-Street has been taken
as the decade of establishment / vintage of the shopping street. The shopping streets considered in the
study have been categorised into three time periods (I) Pre-1950, (II) 1950-1990, and (III)1991 onwards as
depicted in the table:
Pre-1950 1950-1990 1991 onwards
T Nagar Brigade Road Commercial Street 100 Ft Road Indira Nagar
Connaught Place Nungambakkam Khan Market 2 nd Avenue Annanagar
Park Street South Extension Himayathnagar Camac Street
Colaba Breach Candy Linking Road Theatre Road
M.G Road F.C Road J.M. Road Road No. 36 Jubilee Hills
Begumpet
Most of the pre-1950’s shopping streets owe their evolution to the colonial times, during which retail trade
gained strength and was manifested in terms of shopping formats along arterial roads in the city. In this
category there are a few markets which were purpose-designed and built as retail shopping hubs in those
times: prime examples of which include Connaught Place in New Delhi and Hogg Market in Kolkata (not
included in the compilation).

Key Insights
An attempt has been made to derive some cognitive insights of the underlying themes on Indian shopping
streets, based on observations made during the survey. At the outset it is pertinent to note that these
findings are largely observational in nature, given the somewhat amorphous structure of shopping street
retail markets.
The observations do provide an interesting insight into the generic collective form and typology of leading
Indian shopping streets. These observations have been summarised under few categories for easier
understanding. It must be noted here that all these observations are based on the leading shopping streets
surveyed for this study, thus they are generic in nature and may not be rigidly applicable to any specific street.
Almost half of the shopping streets included in this compilation fall in the 1950’s – 1990’s period. Initially
driven by the planned growth model of independent India, and resulting expansion of cities and urban
settlements, many shopping streets of this vintage evolved organically to cater to the burgeoning consumer
base and demographic expansion. For most of this period, retail was characterised by local or domestic
brands as well as a vibrant unorganised trading sector. Towards the later part of this period, with more of
market economics at play, there was a perceptible emergence of national brands that inevitably opened shop
along the main shopping streets or in the few “air-conditioned shopping complexes”, that had started dotting
the retail landscape by that time.
High streets emerging in 1991 onwards reflected in some ways the growth that ensued post-liberalisation,
and were characterised by the physical extension of existing shopping streets or the extension of cities into
suburbs and the formation of suburban markets. In all its history since the ancient days, shopping streets
have uniquely ended up not only embracing the growth during various stages, but have also demonstrated
the uncanny ability of being able to march in step with changing retail trends of its time.

Shopping Street Typology & Form
A study of the typology of the shopping streets that were chosen for this compilation reveals that there are
certain common threads that can be discerned and hence there is a possibility of typifying high streets into a
few generic but non-exclusive categories, which is detailed as follows:
Category
Description
Examples
CBD Linked
Shopping streets which are located in the
downtown or the commercial heart of a city
Connaught Place (New Delhi),
Brigade Road (Bengalaru), Colaba Causeway
(Mumbai), Begumpet (Hyderabad)
Connaught Place, New Delhi
LAKESHMANAN ST.
Khan Market, New Delhi
Arterial
Streets
High streets which are located on both
sides of an arterial road within a city or a
prime thoroughfare of the city
South Extension (New Delhi), Linking Road
(Mumbai), Nungambakkam High Road (Chennai),
J M Road (Pune), Park Street (Kolkata)
Arterial
Street
Extensions
High Streets which have developed as an
extension to an existing arterial shopping
streets
Theatre Road (Kolkata), Khader
Nawaz Road (Chennai)
Commercial Street, Bengalaru
T Nagar, Chennai
Affluent
Catchment
High Streets that have emerged by virtue
of being in neighbouring posh localities and
cater to the resident affluent population
Breach Candy (Mumbai), Khan Market (New
Delhi), 100 Feet Road-Indira Nagar (Bengalaru),
Road No. 36 Jubilee Hills (Hyderabad)
Proximity to
a landmark
High streets located in immediacy to
historical or contemporary landmarks such
as heritage sites, colleges or traditional city
landmarks
F C Road (Pune), Himayathnagar
(Hyderabad)
Nungambakkam High Road, Chennai
Park Street, Kolkata
It is important to note here that many of the leading shopping streets cannot be defined fully by one typology
as they may straddle multiple typologies as defined above. For instance Brigade Road in Bengalaru and
Park Street in Kolkata are both CBD-linked as well arterial streets within the respective cities. It is pertinent
to observe that most of the leading shopping streets that were chosen for this compilation were formed along
important transport corridors or trade routes within a city and hence have more or less a linear or a curvilinear
layout. However, there are a few exceptions however, and these include built-for purpose shopping districts,
that have a planned layout, which may not necessarily be linear in format. Examples of this include
planned public shopping markets like Connaught Place and Khan Market in Delhi and New Market (Hogg
Market) in Kolkata.

Infrastructure and Revitalisation
It is not uncommon to sometimes hear first time tourists, doing the rounds of shopping streets in India say
that they walked through an “obstacle course”. Some or many Indian shopping streets are characterised
less by seamless pedestrian pathways and more by physical hindrances, which make walking and shopping
along these stretches quite a challenge. Whilst this is a generic observation, and it may not be appropriate to
apply this to every shopping street with the same brush stroke, the image of some Indian shopping
streets is tainted because of it being pockmarked by such “obstacles”. Prime high streets across the world
strive to provide seamless pedestrian pathways along with superlative public realm and of course a wide
retail spread (which anyways Indian shopping streets do offer) which makes shopping for consumers a
wonderful experience.
Rather than focussing on the “obstacles” that face some or many of India’s shopping streets, the following
is an attempt to outline basic infrastructure features (hard and soft) that shopping streets need to augment
in order to provide enhanced consumer convenience and improved retail experience. The factors mentioned
are in no particular order and are generic in nature emerging from the compilation of gaps observed during
the shopping street surveys across the country that were undertaken for this study.
High-Street Infrastructure Augmentation Desirables
Transport & Accessibility
• Traffic management for reduced congestion
• Ease of parking and parking management
• Designated traffic interchange areas which do not interfere with shopping
• Provision of buffer zones and innovative non polluting transport solutions for access from parking point
to pedestrian pathways in case the distance is long
• Pedestrianisation of portions of shopping streets
The idea behind this list is not to be comprehensive but highlight possible initiatives that can be collectively
organised by the stakeholders of shopping streets, which can significantly enhance consumer experience
and as a result also augment retail attractiveness.
This brings us to the point of whether there have been such initiatives undertaken across the shopping
streets in India in the past. From the streets that were surveyed, there were only a few instances where such
“revitalisation” was evident. These included Connaught Place in New Delhi and parts of Coloba in Mumbai.
There is another interesting example – that of MG Road in Pune, where an initiative has been taken to
convert the entire street into a “walk in plaza” on the week ends. Allthough the road has one-way traffic on
weekdays, it is totally transformed by being fully pedestrianised on the weekends, replete with food stalls
and festivities being organised. There may be other instances of collective and organised “revitalisation” that
may have been missed, but even the few instances stated above are important, as they are the first signs of
recognising of the need to revitalise shopping street environments in the country.
Globally, street revitalisation is a very serious issue. Often this is linked to the issue of regeneration of
entire regions. Typically, the stakeholders of streets / regions – retailers, property owners, mall developers,
development authorities and local councils-all collaborate to map out a regeneration strategy with a view
to improve the economic and image impact of the street or the region around a street. In India, this
movement is at a very nascent stage, though undoubtedly as economic interest refocuses on prime
inner-city areas in the future, which have superb locations, there would inevitably be initiatives taken to
regenerate shopping streets.
Public Realm
• Clean public areas
• Provision of smart street furniture
• Landscaped open areas and plazas - Creation of micro climate & recreational spaces
• Provision of information and signages about shopping options
• Ensuring security
Consumer Conveniences
• Well maintained public toilets at intervals
• Provision of shaded pathways in case of extreme temperatures
• Seamless, level, unobstructed and universally designed pedestrian pathways
• Active reduction in ambient noise levels

Market Penetration
One way of analysing the information that has been collated during the surveys of the chosen shopping
streets is to map the penetration of retail brands across the stretches chosen along the 21 shopping streets
surveyed. The main objective of such an analysis is twofold : first is to understand which brands have high
penetration in terms of their presence across Indian high streets and second is to map out the exact geography
of the spread of these dominant brands across the 21 shopping streets chosen for the study.
The table, in the facing page lists the top 30 brands that were visible among the shopping streets surveyed. It
is important to note here that these brands could be either self-owned or franchised outlets and that these top
30 brands cut across categories such as apparels, sportwear, F&B, shoes, luggage and accessories as well
as electronics. Interestingly, quite a few of the top 30 brands with high market penetration are of international
origin, whilst there are many national brands as well. Moreover, the top rung of high penetration brands has
managed to straddle quite a high majority of the high streets surveyed. Almost half of the top 30 brands
listed in the table have a presence in more than 50% of the 21 shopping streets surveyed. This high level of
presence is an apt validation of the importance of High-Street stores in major shopping stretches for major
retail brands operating in the country. It is also an important pointer that brands should have a well-diversified
presence in the leading high streets of India in addition to their presence in malls.
Lastly, it is important to note that the table has been generated from the specific surveys conducted during
Feburary-March 2008 in the 21 high streets chosen for the study. Hence the data represented is pegged to
the stated time period of the survey and could change in future.

Rental Benchmarking
Although one of the few quantitative parameters that can be used to benchmark the shopping streets
surveyed is rental values, but it may not always be a “like-for-like” comparison. However, in order to construct
an indicative pecking order among the leading shopping streets in India, the following graph has been
compiled by representing the indicative quoted retail rentals for prime ground-floor, small-format shops
(typically upto 3,000 sq ft in size) as of January 2008. The rents quoted are for the period stated and may be
subject to change over time, as retail shopping street markets are quite dynamic and quoted rentals depend
on market demand and supply dynamics.

It is not surprising to see that shopping streets in India’s political and financial capital respectively (New Delhi
and Mumbai), hog the lime light as they occupy the first six slots of the shopping street rent pecking order.
Delhi’s prime shopping streets including Khan Market, Connaught Place and South Extension occupies the
first three slots followed by Linking Road, Colaba and Breach Candy which are the prime shopping streets of
Mumbai. The pecking order thereafter spans all the other cities (Kolkata, Pune, Bengalaru, Hyderabad and
Chennai) gradually reducing along the rental gradient and ending with the retail rents quoted in the shopping
stretch of the Anna Nagar market in Chennai.
What is quite significant, is that prime shopping street rentals, across the board, have almost witnessed
rental increases over the last few years ranging anywhere from 30% to upto 100%. In the case of prime
markets in Delhi for instance, whilst prime ground floor retail rentals were quoted at around INR 250-350 per
sq ft per month in 2004, these have now crossed the INR 1000 per sq ft per month mark. Rental value growth
over the years in other leading cities has been no less impressive.
At such levels, some of the top-rung Indian shopping streets especially the likes of Khan Market, Connaught
Place (New Delhi) and Linking Road (Mumbai), are slowly but steadily creeping into the league of expensive
high streets in the world. Although the most expensive Indian shopping streets are nowhere close to rentals
in 5th Avenue Manhattan (New York), New Bond Street Street (London) and Ginza (Tokyo) as depicted in
the graph alongside, the rentals in leading Indian high streets have witnessed significant growth in the last
few years. Moreover, for retailers going forward, comparison with the most expensive shopping streets in the
world would definitely be inevitable both in terms of cost and returns.

Malls & Shopping Streets-Finding a Common Ground?
One of the questions that was pertinent as the surveys were being done in the shopping streets was the kind
of relationship that malls and high-streets have in India. Although there is no quantitative data available to
prove whether malls and high streets are complementary or competing. However among the few shopping
streets observed in the study that had operating malls, anecdotal evidence suggests that till now, there are
established instances of a possible symbiotic relationship between malls and high streets.

Proposed Malls
(As of Mar 08) 47%

The pie chart is a representation of the percentage of leading shopping streets surveyed for this study in
terms of those having no proposed newly built malls (as of March 2008), as well as those wherein newly built
malls are proposed (also either within the High-Street stretch or in the immediate vicinity) and those where
existing malls are operational either within the High-Street stretch or its immediate vicinity.
It is interesting to note that a majority of the shopping streets fall in the category wherein there are currently
no proposed malls. A lot of the High-Street in this category include prime inner-city markets and shopping
stretches such as Connaught Place (New Delhi), Khan Market (New Delhi), Colaba (Mumbai) and Park
Street (Kolkata) etc, which are already well-urbanised and the availability of large land tracts for new mall
development is limited. Such stretches may already have smaller-format newly built departmental stores that
are operational or proposed but have not yet witnessed any large bespoke mall development.
The anecdotal evidence of the complementarity of high streets and malls comes from the few instances
that were observed in Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata as well as Pune, wherein informal feedback
from retailers along the shopping High-Street as well those in the same operational malls, suggests that the
presence of new malls within an established High-Street 1) increases the retail appeal and attractiveness
of the entire stretch and 2) allows malls and High-Street to equally benefit from a growing footfall base of
consumers flocking to such a street, where they can find a combination of both High-Street retailing and
climate controlled shopping in new malls. Though it is early days, the initial evidence does suggest the fact
that departmental stores as well as malls and high streets can indeed play to each others strength.
Amenities of a Mall, convienience of a High-Street
In Conclusion
Shopping streets, bazaars and markets have been a way of life in India, given their unique combination of
ease of accessibility, good locations, established retail base, critical mass, variety, legacy and charm. Over
the decades, India’s prime shopping streets have been at the forefront of retail and consumer change and
have demonstrated their resilient nature in having been able to consistently attract its loyal consumer base as
well as add new consumers into its fold. Its allure is not just limited to technical virtues but also its associative
value of having becoming an indispensable part of the Indian consumers’ everyday life.
High Streets and Malls: Thriving Together
There is no doubt that India’s shopping streets have had a prominent position in the country’s retail offerings
over the decades and indicate that these shopping streets would maintain their unique position in the future,
given their inherent ability to adapt themselves to reflect the changing aspirations of consumers as well
as the changing retail trends. Moreover, with the possibility of shopping-street revitalisation becoming an
increasing reality across markets in coming years, the retail pitch of high streets is expected to be enhanced
in the future thereby allowing for the inclusive growth of retail along these prime corridors in Indian cities.
The following sections attempt to compile the basic information on the chosen 21 High-Street markets
by respective city. These also include a graphic map layout of brands along each of the shopping streets
showcased. The retail brand map along these streets is pegged to the time frame of March 2008, during
which all the chosen streets were surveyed within each city. Given that the High-Street environment is quite
dynamic, these retail brand maps would inevitably change over time due to the influx of some new brands
and the exit of others. The brand maps in no way claims to be all comprehensive in terms of including all
retail brands in the 21 leading shopping streets surveyed, but rather is a selection of the some of the leading
shopping streets and the retail brands therein with a view to highlight their character, their geographic and
typological diversity as well as their vibrant retail offerings.

Mumbai is India’s largest metropolis
and the world’s fifth most populous city. It is the commercial and
financial hub of India and is also home to the country’s main stock
exchange (BSE). It is the definitive media and entertainment capital
of the country, housing the world’s largest film industry – ‘Bollywood’.
As a commercial hub and India’s largest port, it accounts for over half
of India’s foreign trade. It is projected to be the world’s second largest
city by 2015. Mumbai has an extremely diversified economic base,
encompassing a broad range of real estate opportunities across many
sectors. Mumbai has seen significant growth in its geography along its
suburbs, notably Thane and Navi Mumbai.
Mumbai has a strong history and an established precedence of retail
and wholesale trade, with an estimated 70 odd, traditional markets
spread across the city. Undoubtedly, it has been one of the important
nodes of goods distribution in the country. Over decades, its growth
has been manifested in some of the most famous markets like Colaba,
Breach Candy, Crawford Market, Linking Road and many others.
In the late 1990s, Mumbai heralded the new shopping mall era by
witnessing the opening of Crossroads in Tardeo. Thereafter, the growth
in bespoke newly built malls has been phenomenal, encompassing
many typologies and innovations. Interestingly, there are several
examples of brownfield mall redevelopments, one of which is Phoenix
Mills in Lower Parel.
There are an estimated 41 operational malls in the city as of March
2008. Alongside the impressive growth in newly built shopping malls,
Mumbai has also witnessed an equally remarkable development of
its High-Street shopping stretches within the city. As a result, its prime
high streets attained a very high level of vibrancy in terms of density
of retail brands, inclusion of national and international brands, renewed
focus on consumers, as well as rentals, which ranked among the
highest in the country.
The three leading high streets that have been mapped in Mumbai
in this compilation include – Colaba Causeway, Breach Candy and
Linking Road.

Colaba Causeway is reminiscent of the colonial antiquity, which joined the island of Colaba to the city of Mumbai in 1838. A century later, retail
followed and since then this shopping street has been the icon of upper-end retail.
The street is typified by colonial buildings with shops on the ground floor that range between 500 sq ft and 2,000 sq ft. The causeway does not
have over-powering shop fronts, but rather subtleties of quality retail and a critical mass of shops that sway its customers.
Colaba is one of the few shopping streets in the city where national and international brands sit cheek-by-jowl with home-grown ones like Ajmal
Perfumes and is dotted with delightful cafes such as Café Mondegar.
Sitting in the southern end of Colaba is the imposing Cusrow Baug building with its unchallenged frontage, houses contemporary brands.
On the northern side is the famed Kala Ghoda art district, which is itself an anchor for people, comprising of an eclectic mix of art galleries,
cafes and shops.
Located in the heart of the South Mumbai, Colaba always had the benefit of tourist footfalls, which flocks around the Gateway of India and the
iconic Taj Hotel. Flanked by heritage buildings like Regal Cinema and Shilpi Kendra, the causeway, with its colonnaded passage, Corinthian
columns and exquisite plaster mouldings, is the perfect tourist shopping backdrop. However, the availability of vacant shops has almost always
been limited, and consistent demand has kept the street expensive from a rental standpoint. This has also been the reason behind the organic
retail extension down the street towards Navy Nagar.
Its central location and high density of use does lend a busy feeling to Colaba during most times of the day – congestion and traffic being one of
its drawbacks. However, the area trades on its impeccable centrality, its nostalgia and its retail appeal unlike any other market in its vicinity.

The Linking Road shopping stretch, which is the undisputed heart of retailing in Mumbai, is also its most expensive retail patch in the city.
Interestingly, Linking Road is the arterial north–south corridor of Mumbai and more or less follows a linear pattern.
The stupendous traffic that moves along this corridor is only matched by the vibrancy and the variety of retail brands, hoardings and visual delight
that this street offers. Over the last three decades, Linking Road has seen a fantastic transformation from clustered informal and small format
shops to signature retail stores, comprising of the best that contemporary retail has to offer.
Linking Road was also the choice location for the first McDonald’s in Mumbai, which opened up to record crowds. Since then, this High-Street
continues to attract a very high number of shoppers. In the last five years or so, international brands have also made their presence felt and
added a new dimension to the street, both in terms of its image as well as its linear extension towards and beyond Khar, as well as its extension
along the by-lanes.
Linking Road has the inclusiveness of being able to integrate various formats of retail, including department stores (Shopper’s Stop store in
Bandra started in 2001) along with exhaustive retail offerings on apparels, footwear, accessories and premium lifestyle retail brands as well as
platform shops at some patches along the street.
The fact that it sits in the geographic centre of a linear and very wealthy city and within the cradle of neighbouring affluent residential areas has
only complemented Linking Road’s exhaustive brand mix and integrated retail offerings, all of which, as a whole, have contributed towards its
phenonenal success as a retail destination.

Breach Candy could have been any other neighbourhood market in Mumbai, but what sets it apart are its exclusive brands as well as the elite
consumer profile that it commands.
Located in the middle of some of the most elegant residential areas of Mumbai (Malabar Hills – Napean Sea Road and Mahalaxmi), the Breach
Candy shopping stretch is not high density and has a much-relaxed disposition to itself.
Lined with high-rise residential towers in the back drop, it is hard to imagine Breach Candy’s colonial lineage. It is only with buildings at AK Marg
that one gets a glimpse of its colonial past. Built on reclaimed land in the early 19th century, it is officially known as Bhulabhai Desai Road. Breach
Candy has the Mahalaxmi Temple as one of its defining anchors.
The emergence of organised, retail can be traced back to around the 1950s. The Reader’s Paradise Bookstore in Breach Candy started in 1955.
Over the next couple of decades, retail established itself and led to the generation of the present retail spread.
Breach Candy‘s appeal is the gentle meandering of the street through residential colonies, starting from the Kemp’s Corner market and reaching
its retail zenith near the Amarson stretch.
The stretch has a leaning towards higher-end retail offerings such as exclusive showrooms (Sony World), exotic fruits at street vendors and
exclusive men’s wear (Manzoni, Raymond and the legendary Benzer), all of which add to the glitz of Breach Candy’s retail appeal.

New Delhi is India’s political
and administrative capital and is also the second largest metropolis
in the country, with a diversified economic, government and servicesector
base. Home to many of India’s largest corporations and
multinationals, Delhi has attracted a large pool of well-educated
workforce. The Delhi National Capital Region comprising the capital
and its suburban areas (including Noida, Gurgaon, Greater Noida
etc) has now established itself as an important hub of the IT and ITES
sector. The city has been rapidly gearing up in terms of its image and
infrastructure for the forthcoming Commonwealth Games in 2010.
Delhi has a unique collection of varied retail segments and shopping
areas that have evolved over centuries of trade within the city. Thus
whilst on one hand, there is the famous Chandni Chowk and the
colonial shopping destination of Connaught Place; on the other hand,
there is a profusion of relatively new shopping areas and destinations
such as Karol Bagh, Greater Kailash and South Extension. Both
wholesale and retail trading has been well-established in the city, with
some major markets like Karol Bagh handling both with ease.
Delhi’s old and new high streets offer a unique experience of retailing
and charm. What is really unique about the city’s leading high streets
is the fact that like Mumbai, these are among the most expensive
retail stretches in the country, witnessing phenomenal value growth
over the past few years. Despite the high valuations and the spectre
of time-to-time sealing in the non-regularised commercial streets,
Delhi’s main high streets have been very successful in targeting
consumers, as well as national and international retail brands.
The three leading high streets that have been mapped in Delhi in
this compilation include – Connaught Place, Khan Market and South
Extension market.
The Ansal Plaza mall in Andrews Ganj, pioneered the format of mall
retailing in Delhi. Opening its door in 1999, Ansal Plaza set the flavour
for the ensuing mall boom that followed. Mall development since then
has flourished both within Delhi city limits (especially with the release
of land by development authorities for new age commercial activities)
and in the suburban areas, including Gurgaon, Noida and Ghaziabad.
Gurgaon was especially at the forefront with many of the first new
plans opening their doors as early as 2002. Although in recent years
though, the spotlight has shifted back to Delhi owing to the surge
of mall development within the city limits. In all, the Delhi National
Capital Region has been among the trend setters of the new age
mall movement in the country.

Connaught Place was designed as the definitive commercial heart of the new Imperial capital in the 1930’s. Its Victorian inspiration is evident in
the circular-shaped retail spread, replete with colonnaded corridors interspersed by seven radial roads. Its central location and top-end brand mix
have always embellished Connaught Place with a retail prominence like no other shopping area in Delhi, catering to consumers from within the
city and even its suburbs.
What is unique about Connaught Place (or CP as it is popularly known) has been its ability to reinvent itself in terms of its brand mix and offerings
over the decades to reflect the best of what India wants to shop. This resilience is even more significant, given the complicated ownership patterns
of this shopping hub. The watershed in its re-emergence was in 2005, when the first mass transit Delhi Metro trains started running through
Connaught Place. Its impact was two-fold. First was the huge rise in commuters and hence, footfalls in the area. Second was the significant
transformation of the public realm within Connaught Place.
Thereafter, Connaught Place has only got more attention from brands, consumers and its stakeholders. Regeneration efforts by the Municipal
Council, NDMC, regular shopping promotions by the trader’s association NDTA, refurbishment of old cinemas (Plaza, Rivoli and Odeon) by
multiplex chains and the significant influx of top-line brands and restaurants have all added up to a new retailing paradigm in the heart of
Delhi. Rentals have more than mirrored the new exuberance, with Connaught Place now ranking among the most expensive shopping streets
in the country.

Built in the 1950s under a rehabilitation scheme, Khan Market is among the most expensive high streets in India. Being the other major market
within Lutyen’s Delhi Zone (apart from Connaught Place), Khan Market sits among the most upmarket residential areas, and has proximity to both
the diplomatic quarter as well as the city’s downtown area.
The market has established itself as the definitive upmarket shopping and F&B destination for a high-end catchment, including expatriates, the
diplomatic community, high net-worth individuals as well as upwardly mobile professionals.
Its retail offerings well-mirrors the needs of the catchment it caters to and includes an eclectic mix of premium and lifestyle retail brands, book
stores, fashion boutiques, fine dining, cafes and art stores. Interestingly, the traditional stores in the market have also transformed themselves, in
terms of their retail offerings, to cater to the upmarket catchment.
The rather long line of cars to get into the market does not in any way lower its appeal to its catchment. In fact, proactive steps that were taken
by the trader’s association – such as hosting events and exhibitions, ensuring parking management and allowing free parking – have also helped
in keeping a shopper-friendly market. Khan market came into renewed prominence ever since news reports started pegging it amongst the
expensive High-Street of the world.
One of the hallmarks of this shopping hub is that the traditional sits alongside contemporary branded stores and somehow the overall chemistry
seems to appeal to shoppers not only from the mid upper segment, but also to the casual visitor.

If there is one market that has been able to establish itself as the hub of South Delhi’s High-Street retailing, it has to be South Extension (popularly
known as South Ex). Starting from a community shopping centre on both sides of the arterial Ring Road in the 1960s, the South Extension
markets has witnessed a phenomenal growth. However, it was really the 1990s that witnessed its transformation, as national and home-grown
brands, established stores in the market. This growth is attributed to both home-grown chains, such as Ebony (among the first organised
department store in Delhi), Big Jos, Mehrasons Jewellers, Sehgal Brothers and Nalli’s, as well as national and international brands, such as Levis,
Lacoste, Tanishq, Esprit and Benetton. The increasing popularity of these markets also led to the opening up of a wide range of restaurants and
complementary retail offerings.
There is no doubt that the South Extension market caters to most of the upmarket South Delhi residential areas. But over the years, this stretch
has also been able to add such depth and variety in its retail offering that it has become a shopping destination by itself. The opening of Delhi’s
first mall, Ansal Plaza, right next door in the late-1990s did not deter the expansion of this market; in fact, both have complemented each other.
One of the reasons behind South Extension’s success has been the consistent transformation that has been witnessed both in terms of its
retail offerings as well as its new store formats. Having such high customer traffic does lead to congestion during peak hours, but the brands are
not complaining.

Bengalaru dubbed as the
Silicon Valley of India’. Previously known as Bangalore, it is the state
capital of Karnataka as well as India’s technology capital. It holds a
prominent position in the global IT map and has a deep corporate base
of domestic, multinational IT and biotechnology companies. The city is
advancing up the ’value chain’ with significant focus on research and
development activities. The high-quality work force and favourable
quality of life have prompted major campus developments by many
IT majors in the city. Although currently a constraint, infrastructure
is in the process of being ramped up. Examples include recently
inaugurated international airport and the work commencing on the
metro rail system.
Bengalaru’s retail in terms of its consumer profile and its vibrancy is a
reflection of the aspirations of New India. Even if some of the shopping
areas go back to colonial days in terms of its antecedents, the mix
of contemporary brands and the upwardly mobile young shoppers
that flock to these new swank stores is a living example of the rising
aspirations of upwardly mobile Indian consumers.
Although new shopping mall developments in the city started later
as compared to Mumbai and Delhi, the pace of growth registered in
terms of supply in the last few years is quite aggressive. As of now,
there are an estimated six operational shopping malls in Bengalaru,
which are expected to go up to over thirty by 2009. Interestingly, most
of the new malls have been able to establish themselves quite well
and have been successful in attracting consistent footfalls. The first
luxury mall of Bengalaru – UB City – is all set to open in 2008.
The young, upwardly mobile consumer base of Bengalaru has been
patronising the city’s prime shopping areas such us Brigade Road,
MG Road, Commercial Street, Vittalmalya Road and 100 Feet Road
Indira Nagar market. In turn, these streets have ramped up their retail
offerings, both in terms of density and the variety of national and
international brands. Exclusive, high-end showrooms, designer studios
and fine-dining restaurants are now establishing their presence on the
high streets slowly but surely, even as new mall formats are emerging.
The three leading high streets that have been mapped in Bengalaru
in this compilation include – Brigade Road, Commercial Street and
100 Feet Road Indiranagar.

As one of the most sought after retail streets in India, Brigade Road is located at the heart of inner-city Bengalaru (Bangalore). Brigade Road is a
true reflection of the aspirations of a city that has become the definitive silicon hub of the country.
Brigade Road, which connects M G Road and Residency Road, has retail antecedents dating back to colonial times. The first departmental
store in the city, Niligiri’s, opened shop along Brigade Road along with a host of other stores as well as entertainment options, including the Rex
Theatre, that came in soon after.
However, it was around the late 1970s and early 1980s that the Brigade Road shopping area started to transform into the busy High-Street that
we see today. Shopping arcades, such as 5th Avenue and Mota Royal Arcade, changed the shopping experience by offering retail options at
vertical levels even as new pubs and restaurants added to the area’s attractions.
The 1990s really saw the acceleration of retail growth at a phenomenal pace along this stretch as Bengalaru geared itself to cater to the influx
of a new generation of software professionals from all over the country. The growing incomes, aspirations and needs of these consumers has
resulted in almost a constant change in this High-Street, evolving into its present form, which includes exclusive stores, international brands,
fashion wear, sporting goods and cafes.
Moreover, Brigade Road houses some of the biggest flagship stores of established brands. A case in point is the 9,000-sq ft Levi’s Square store
situated along this road, which is one of the largest flagship store for the brand in India. Brigade Road’s phenomenal growth in retail depth and
varied offerings has also been proportional to the traffic congestion and parking along the street.
Footfalls in this almost-integrated contemporary retail street are quite record breaking, with estimates that Brigade Road probably attracts the
highest number of consumers in the city. A store in this stretch is the first priority for any new brand entering the city. Given the fact that vacancies
are quite low and new supply is limited, brands have to contend with expensive rentals.

with its immediate neighbour, Kamraj Road, formed the traditional shopping and trading areas of this once colonial town. Hence, this area is
characterised by long-established and home-grown retail stores in apparels, jewellery, saree shops and antiques.
Although Commercial Street has retained its built character over the decades, it has also evolved over time, providing a mix of traditional as well
as more contemporary national and international brands. Almost half of this bustling lane is filled with traditional and quaint shops that find enough
business from its loyal customers; but at the same time, the new brands have also been successful in attracting a steady flow of footfalls, which
makes it an important retail destination within the city.
Through this combination of home-grown and new retail stores, almost all retail segments are well-represented along this street, including
apparels, footwear, kids wear, jewellery and food outlets.
Interestingly, there are a number of smaller retail outlets that offer Kashmiri goods, ranging from pashminas to carpets and even jewellery, catering
to tourists and more up-market consumers. The big departmental stores include Westside and Max, both of which are located on the opposite
ends of the street.
Owing to its relatively limited width, Commercial Street tends to become congested during peak shopping hours. Efforts are being made to
mitigate this issue by introducing an automated parking system. Despite this congestion, Commercial Street has been able to attract consistent
crowds and add more depth to its retail offerings over the decades.

Indiranagar emerged as a large planned residential layout in the fringes of inner-city Bengalaru during the 1980s, and 100 Feet Road was among
its main access avenues leading to and from the city airport.
In terms of retail expression, 100 Feet Road is probably a response to the consumer needs of the new generation in Bengalaru. Consumer trends
here are largely driven by the software and knowledge sector professionals, whether they are Indian or even expatriates. Even though the street
originally had a bungalow layout, after being declared as a transformational zone (i.e. allowed to house retail shops), the High-Street has seen a
phenomenal growth over the last three years or so.
Unlike the congestion of inner-city high streets, 100 Feet Road is a much more generously and laid-out retail stretch, dotted by a host of exclusive
retail stores, posh restaurants, cafes and art galleries.
Whilst the inherent catchment of the prime residential areas in and around Indiranagar contributes to the steadily growing footfalls along this
stretch, IT parks and offices in the vicinity (Embassy Golf Links and Baghmane Tech Park) also act as a footfall driver for this street.
The character of this upcoming High-Street is best typified by the fact that some of the largest stand-alone departmental stores in the city are
located along this stretch, which coupled with high-end restaurants, ample parking and organised traffic patterns has made it a compulsive retail
destination. What is interesting is that retail along 100 Feet Road has witnessed its phenomenal growth in the shopping mall age.
To add to the retail variety, the stretch has also seen the emergence of theme stores such as Maspar, Veneta Cucine, Bandhej, Jaipur, Bandhani
and Kitchen World. For new brands entering Bengalaru, a presence in 100 Feet Road is quite high on the list of priorities; more so because, unlike
the inner-city High-Street, it is relatively easier to get larger retail-format space in stand-alone new developments along this stretch.

Chennai India’s fourth largest
metropolis and the largest city of South India, Chennai, formerly known
as Madras has emerged as a leading IT hub, second only to Bengalaru
in terms of IT exports and IT-enabled services. A presidency town in
Colonial times, Chennai is the second largest port in the country and
is popularly known as ‘The Gateway of South India’. It has a large
manufacturing sector, a vibrant trading and retail sector, an established
film, media and entertainment hub, and is also an important base for
the automobile and auto components industry (also called the ‘Detroit
of India’).
Chennai has had a long tradition of organised retail, hallmarked by
celebrated markets such as T Nagar, Purasawakkam, Mylapore and
Pondy Bazaar. Whilst these markets have been famous for traditional
retail goods such as exquisite silk sarees, jewellery, garments etc, it
is notable that Chennai’s high streets have kept abreast of changing
times and now house a comprehensive spread of contemporary retail
brands-whether local, national or international.
The high streets in Chennai are adorned with large-format standalone
stores of local retailers like Nalli’s, Sarvana Stores, Kumaran,
Pothys and many others. The contemporary retail destinations like
Nungambakkam High Road are extending into bifurcations like the
exclusive Khader Nawaz Khan Road, which has become a hub for
lifestyle retail. There is a healthy growth and expansion of high streets
based on higher disposable incomes, loyal customers and increased
retail density.
Even though Spencer Plaza in Chennai was among the first few
built-for-purpose shopping centres in the country, the city was a late
starter compared to Delhi and even Bangalore in terms of new mall
development growth. However, the few new malls that are operational
have done well for themselves, and the supply pipeline is building up
slowly but surely.
The three leading high streets that have been mapped in Chennai in
this compilation include – Nungambakkam High Road, T Nagar and
2 nd Avenue Anna Nagar market.

2 nd Avenue, Anna Nagar, is the definitive shopping street for the Anna Nagar township as well as western Chennai. When it was set up in 1960s,
Anna Nagar was among the largest township developments in Asia. As of today, it is one of the most populated and desired residential localities in
the city, boasting of broad avenues, well laid-out residential sectors, educational institutions and shopping areas.
Over the years, independent housing in the area has given way to apartments, and the catchment of Anna Nagar as well as its immediate
neighbourhoods, like Koyambedu, Moggapair, Padi and Ambattur, has become upwardly mobile. This catchment’s aspirations is well-reflected in
the main shopping street of 2 nd Avenue, which is a pulsating cluster of department stores, home-grown retail offering, contemporary retail brands
and a fair amount of food and grocery retailing.
Shops, department stores and eateries in varying formats dot 2 nd Avenue. These include supermarkets, large book stores, apparel stores,
consumer electronics shops, traditional retail outlets (such as jewellery and sarees), eateries and automobile showrooms, indigenous retail outlets
as well a fair sprinkling of residences that intersperse the retail stretches.
The main benefit of this retail critical mass has been the uninterrupted growth in consumer footfalls to this shopping street and the constant
addition to retail offerings as new stores open along the stretch to cater to the ever growing but focused catchment in and around Anna Nagar.
The only large planned mall in its vicinity is Ampa Mall, which is under construction. The street itself is well planned and spaciously laid out with
service roads.
In some cases, these lead into the stores, thereby allowing for ease of parking and hence, limiting congestion. It is an established fact that
2 nd Avenue, Anna Nagar, has become a retail shopping benchmark in western Chennai. As a result, the retail property rentals along this
stretch have witnessed consistent growth.

It would be tough to miss Nungambakkam High Road (NHR) when visiting Chennai as it is an integral part of downtown Chennai and an arterial
road running through the city centre.
Primarily a mixed-use road dotted by offices, hotels, residences and a fair bit of government-owned buildings, NHR started witnessing enhanced
commercial and retail activity from mid-1990s onwards. Interestingly, its central location makes NHR and its adjoining areas even as a preferred
residential location.
In terms of retail development, NHR is characterised by new format branded retail in small and large sizes, which typically occupy the ground and
sometimes the first floors of buildings along the road. In fact, the opening up of the Isspahani Centre, a bespoke shopping centre on the lower
floors, opened up the retail horizons for this shopping street. Since then, NHR has added many first to its credit, including the fact that Marks &
Spencer opened its first store within the city on the NHR.
NHR has grown organically and although it is not a seamless High-Street, i.e. with a common pedestrian pavement linking all the shops, its unique
offering is the diversity of its brands and the fact that the retail stores here are a perfect fit for the upwardly mobile consumers of the city.
An integral part of the High Street’s retail offering is a street that leads off NHR called Khader Nawaz Khan Road, which has emerged as one of
the most expensive High-Street retail stretches in the city, housing premium fashion and lifestyle brands interspersed by trendy cafés. All in all,
NHR is one retail location in Chennai where footfalls are high and focused. This is the reason, why it has become a destination for new brands
that are entering Chennai. Owing to the relatively restricted supply of retail space along the stretch, demand continues to be high and as a result,
rentals are among the most expensive within the city.

Chennai has a long tradition of organised retail, and if there is a retail heart of Chennai, it would have to be the T-Nagar hub, as it encompasses a
strong history of retail innovation, straddling not only the traditional but also the contemporary.
The T-Nagar shopping hub is a collection of varied successful retail formats, geographically located almost in the city centre and comprises Pondy
Bazar (Thagraya Road), large-scale department stores around Pannagal Park, Doraiswamy Road and Usman Road.
The retail spread on offer is not only fantastic in terms of sheer scale, critical mass and depth, but also unique in terms of constant innovation in
retail typology and the seamless way in which different retail formats have blended to offer a superlative customer choice.
Although on one hand the large departmental stores such as Sarvana Stores, Kumaran Stores, Naidu Hall, Pothys etc anchor this shopping
district; on the other hand, the profusion of traditional stores of jewellery, silk sarees (such as Nallis) and famed indigenous restaurants jostle for
High-Street space with national and international brands in the consumer goods, apparel, fashion and books segment.
T-Nagar, Pondy Bazar and all its complementary segments generate footfalls and traffic that would be the envy of many malls nationwide. This
also leads to one of the issues that shoppers face—congestion. Another issue is that of fragmented pavements. Despite these issues, most new
retail that comes into Chennai aspires to have a presence in the T-Nagar shopping district, knowing fully well that it would only be full steam ahead
for such a vibrant retail destination in the future.

Hyderabad The capital
of Andhra Pradesh and India’s sixth most populous city, Hyderabad
(together with twin city Secunderabad) is fast becoming India’s
emerging high-tech metropolis and a major hub for hardware
manufacturing and biotechnology. This has led the city to be referred
as ‘Cyberabad’. It is also an important education centre with major
academic, technical and research facilities. Its proactive and enabling
state government has facilitated economic growth and ensured
infrastructural development. The opening of its new international airport
has strengthened the strategic position of the city.
Known as the ‘city of pearls’, shopping markets of Hyderabad are
currently lined with varied retail offerings, transforming its image to
become an urbane retail hub. Jubilee Hills, Himayathnagar, Begumpet,
Somajiguda and Punjagutta are among the new breed of High-
Street shopping stretches that coexists with the traditional shopping
destinations like Laad Bazaar, Basheerbagh, Abids and Nampally.
Currently, the city has a small share of the total shopping mall
stock of the country, but mall development is catching up fast. Shoppers’
Stop in Begumpet is one of the first large-format stand-alone stores in the
city, while City Centre, one of the largest malls in the area, has established
its presence in the upmarket Banjara Hills area. Much like the experience
seen in other metropolitan areas, malls and High-Street retail locations in
Hyderabad have witnessed complementary growth.
The three leading high streets that have been mapped in Hyderabad
in this compilation include – Begumpet, Road No. 36-Jubilee Hills and
Himayathnagar Main Road.

Begumpet is the unchallenged shopping street of downtown Hyderabad. It has prospered as the seam between the twin cities of Hyderabad and
Secunderabad. It also commands a dual city-wide consumer profile that includes shoppers of all ages and sections.
Initially, Begumpet was a small locality that marked the boundary between Hyderabad and Secunderabad. However, over the years, the growth
of the city geographically as well as the growth of the retail trade and business within the city has led to the rise in Begumpet’s commercial and
retail activities.
This hub has is fairly comprehensive collection of High-Street and mall retailing, five-star hotels and offices. The brand mix along this road
comprises international and national brands, designer boutiques, bookshops, art shops, jewellers and traditional saree shops, all of which makes it
quite an attractive destination for tourists as well.
Hyderabad has had a culture of domestic home-grown retail, which is quite well-represented in Begumpet in terms of well-known restaurants
such as Chutney’s, Seventh Heaven, Mantra Resto-Bar and Café Odyssey. Moreover, the long stretch of road has quite a few exquisite jewellery
and pearl showrooms for which Hyderabad is famous. Begumpet is also a hub for silk sarees with stores such as Kala Kunj Saree Vatika, Meena
Bazaar and Nalli Silk Sarees.
Apart from this, more contemporary specialty and department stores like Kalaniketan Wedding Mall, Shopper’s Stop, Pantaloons, Babu Khan
Mall and Lifestyle provide a wide range of retail offerings within this location. Interestingly, this stretch also has an operational new built mall,
Hyderabad Central, that complements quite well the retail offerings in this stretch.
Although Begumpet experiences traffic congestion, especially being linked to the downtown traffic, the three new flyovers in the area that are in
the pipeline are somewhat expected to alleviate this issue. The growing retail critical mass and popularity of Begumpet is evident from the fact that
almost all new brands that enter Hyderabad aspire to have retail outlets along this stretch. Whilst retail supply is forthcoming, consistent demand
has ensured rentals to remain firm in this shopping hub.

Road No. 36, situated in Jubilee Hills’ upmarket residential area, is a prime and upscale shopping street in Hyderabad. In close proximity to the
Central Business District, it personifies Hyderabad’s aspirations and changing global outlook. Wide roads and ample space with adequate parking
facilities typify this market.
Located between HITECH City and Banjara Hills, this exclusive High-Street has recently risen to fame riding on its exclusive clientele that includes
local film industry barons along with high net worth individuals that reside in the neighbourhood. Also, as Road No. 36 is an access road to
Madhapur and HITECH City (IT hub of Hyderabad), it is popular with the new generation of IT professionals, thus generating enough footfalls.
Traditionally a posh residential area, Road No. 36 has transformed into a prime High-Street of Hyderabad in the last couple of years. Due to its
location, this High-Street has attracted a number of national and international brands and more exclusive cafes and restaurants like My Cafe
Latte, which is oriented towards cinema fans. With big stores like Reebok, Café Coffee Day and Food World, Road No. 36 has developed as
an upmarket vista for elites. One of the attractions of this High-Street is the distinctive automotive showrooms of Mercedes Benz and the
Honda Pride showroom.
Due to its location and exclusivity, Road No. 36 is preferred by new age retailers, thus adding to its strong demand dynamics. Having the
advantage of being located in the prime residential area and still retaining the charm of a quiet and relaxed overall ambience, the demand and
rents in the area have exhibited a consistent growth over the years.

Himayathnagar, formerly an unassuming neighbourhood market, has emerged as a prominent High-Street of Hyderabad. Located near Hussain
Sagar Lake and Abids (the traditional Central Business District of Hyderabad) it has attracted many national and international brands over the last
few years. The watershed for this market was in the first half of the 1990s when a lot of colleges, institutes and training centres were established
in the area. A new brand of young customers was added to the already existing dense residential community of Bashir Bagh, Narayan Guda and
Sultan Bazar that is around the High-Street. Today, footfalls are growing in the High-Street because of the presence of educational institutes and
offices in some of the upper floors of the shopping arcades.
Although all the major international brands can be found in this market, it is the presence of eating joints and cafes, including Almond House,
Woodland Deluxe Restaurant, Hyderabad House, Pick and Move, Chutneys, Universal Bakers and Minerva Coffee House, that serves as the
area’s prime attraction for youngsters.
International sports and apparel brands like Nike and Reebok have some of their largest stores located along this High-Street, showcasing the
latest in their retail offerings. Moreover, some of popular indigenous jewellery shops are also present here, along with supermarkets and bakeries.
Most of the existing retail offerings are present in arcades and are at places complemented by some stand-alone showrooms.
The growing popularity of Himayathnagar is evident from the fact that it keeps on attracting leading brands to open their outlets in this market.
A case in point is Chutneys, which recently opened its famous eating joint in one of the plazas in the area.
The expansion and growth of real estate and the retail market that is taking place in Hyderabad can be witnessed in Himayathnagar, where a
lot of new development is taking place. The upcoming MPM mall being one such example, which is expected to further strengthen the position
secured by Himayathnagar in the Hyderabad retail market.

Kolkata India’s third most populous city
and the business, financial and trading hub of Eastern India, Kolkata
(formerly Calcutta) has witnessed a surge in investment and rapid
growth in the IT/ITES sector in recent years. Companies have been
attracted by the depth of its talent pool, relatively low operating costs
and business-friendly policies. The corridor leading from the airport
through the new business districts of Rajarhat and Salt Lake Sector
V and leading onto the Eastern Bypass has emerged as the ‘Golden
Mile’ of the city, housing a spate of new developments in almost all real
estate asset classes.
The definitive capital of ‘Colonial India’ Kolkata took on the twin crowns
of being the business and trade capital, as well as the cultural capital.
Even now, if there is a city synonymous with learning, education and
culture, it is Kolkata. Being a port town, wholesale and retail trade
has been central to its economy. Hence, markets have always had an
important position in the city, as they cater not only to its residents but
also consumers from upcountry areas in East and North-East India.
Kolkata has many bustling retail markets, including New Market,
Gariahat Market and Park Street.
The mall culture was heralded into this city in 2003 by the newly built
Forum Mall in Elgin Road, which proved sceptics wrong regarding
the chances of success of organised retail in the city. A year later, the
suburban City Centre mall was opened to shoppers and truly reinforced
the mall trend that has been growing there year after year. Both high
streets and new-format malls are experiencing a boom with a number
of new malls opening up and consistent expansion of existing high
streets. The pace of new mall development is evident from the fact that
the city ranked third in the country in terms of shopping-mall stock,
only surpassed by Delhi NCR and Mumbai.
Kolkata’s high streets have witnessed superlative growth rates in
the recent past. Increasing economic growth in the city coupled
with rising consumer aspirations have resulted in significant
growth in retail-brand density and depth along the key high streets,
including Park Street and Camac Street. The traditional New
Market area, along with Park Street, has long been the pulsating
heart of the retail sector in the city, demonstrating how different
vintages of retail have thrived and prospered in unison within
Kolkata.
The three leading high streets that have been mapped in Kolkata
in this compilation include – Park Street, Camac Street and
Theatre Road.

Park Street is to Kolkata what Oxford Street is to London. This arterial avenue, which runs from Chowringhee in the west to Park Circus in the
east, is also the city’s foremost retail and dining destination. In terms of antecedents, Park Street (renamed as Mother Teresa Sarani) can be
traced back to the late 18th century colonial times, when Kolkata was the imperial capital and the Chowringee area was the epitome of all the
elegance and pomp of the time.
The wide avenue, anchored by stately Victorian mansions, is interspersed by open areas, plazas and well-defined pedestrian walkways. Even
now, imposing structures such as the Asiatic Society and St. Xavier’s College define the regal character of the street and much of its prime
positioning within the annals of Kolkata’s retail canvas. Park Street enjoys superlative accessibility from all parts of the city, both by way of road
connectivity as well as through the mass transport system—Kolkata Metro.
The one thing that Park Street has always been famous for has been its dining experience, comprising some of the finest restaurants in the
city like Trinca’s, Mocambo, Peter Cat, Flury’s, Bar B Q, Oasis and Moulin Rouge, which have been the epicentre for art, culture and debate for
decades. Complementing these are well-known retail stores, auction houses, garment stores, art galleries and book stores.
Park Street has endured and embraced the changing times, which is evident from the fact that the who’s who of contemporary retail have a
presence in the buildings along the stretch or indeed along the streets that adjoin the Park Street. The restaurant segment, in particular, has
consistently seen contemporary-branded food chains such as Kolkata’s first McDonald’s, Barista and KFC. Park Street has also witnessed a
re-birth of sorts, when the old Oxford Bookstore in the Park Hotel arcade was refurbished and re-launched in a new format in the late 1990s.
Among its many firsts, Park Street was the location for, one of the first large format music stores (Music World) in the country.
Retail locations can come and go, but Park Street is one location that would remain a permanent fixture for shoppers coming into Kolkata albeit
working along in unison with its adjoining street as well as Chowingee’s traditional retail hub. This includes the New Market (Hogg’s Market),
which traces its antecedents to colonial times. Even now, during Christmas and New Year, the entire street is lit up and decorated, which few
high streets can match.

Traditionally, Camac Street has been known for its high-rise office buildings, some of which did house retail stores. Running perpendicular to
Park Street, the location of Camac Street has always been prime, central and blessed with good connectivity (both by road and public transport).
Hence, the street easily lent itself as a good retail location for those looking to be around Park Street. However, the route that Camac Street has
taken to become a retail hub has been somewhat distinctive.
In the mid-1980s, the turning point was the development of Vardaan Market on Camac Street, which is a shopping centre that housed a wide
selection of local as well as international goods. Its popularity as a shopping destination and its ability to attract footfalls led the way for other
brands to follow suit, either within the Vardaan complex or in ground floor locations of neighbouring office buildings.
By the year 2000, the street witnessed the emergence of restaurants such as Malgudi Junction, Food First and Chaat in Kolkata, which attained
quite a high popularity.
Whilst this was the genesis, the next wave of retail evolution along the street was new home grown marked by the development of a mixed-use
office cum retail project called 22 Camac Street around 2002. The project was a landmark in its time as it was able to attract anchor stores such
as Pantaloons and Westside and many other branded stores, which hugely augmented the retail profile of the street. Since then, Camac Street
has been perceived as a natural retail extension of Park Street.
Interestingly, Camac Street runs along a north–south alignment, straddling quite a few prime residential locations, which has been beneficial for
its retail stores as well. It would not be wrong to say that Camac Street has been one of the few High-Street stretches in the country where its
emergence has been bolstered due to the presence of a newly built shopping centre. In fact, the latest addition to this trend has been the opening of
a jewellery mall – Fort Knox – which has the added attraction of housing one of the posh night clubs along this stretch. The gradual ramp up of retail
density along Camac Street has come with its concomitant issues of congestion and parking, even though a pro-active parking management has
been helpful. Its growing popularity and importance as a true retail hub has also meant that vacant retail space for new brands is somewhat limited.

The spillover of retail demand from Camac Street has manifested itself in terms of new stores along another road perpendicular to it called
Theatre Road (Shakespeare Sarani). Theatre Road runs almost parallel to Park Street and traditionally has been a high-end residential patch,
housing colonial bungalows, some of which were converted over time into hotels or high-rise apartments or office buildings. Prime examples
of the converted bungalows are Astor Hotel and Kenilworth Hotel. The concentration of office buildings along this stretch is quite ample and
includes standalone office mansions such as Unilever and HSBC, high-rise offices as well as government buildings, many of which house
retail on their ground floors.
Interestingly, during the 1980’s, Theatre Road witnessed the opening of “AC Market”, which was a rage in its time, with shoppers. In fact
Vardaan Market on Camac Street which followed later was also on the lines of its predecessor - the “AC Market”. The unique combination
of air -conditioned shopping environment coupled with the availability of a wide range of Indian and foreign goods, made it a landmark for
shoppers in those times.
Since then, retail along Theatre Road has evolved and in its present form is characterised by a mix of traditional retail offering (jewellery, sarees,
lighting showrooms), some signature stores (Wills Lifestyle and Levis) along the stretch and a few new format shopping locations - such as
Shagun Mall which caters to the wedding segment. Interspersed within retail outlets, there is a fair amount of food and dining options, especially
complemented by the fine-dining restaurants of the hotels along this stretch. Theatre Road shopping is fairly relaxed as compared to Park Street,
and is steadily gaining in momentum, as more brands choose to open up along this stretch. Though part of the downtown, Theatre Road has
evolved its own retail character and has an important place in the city’s overall retail offer.

Pune has been referred to as the ‘Oxford of India’
for being home to many respected colleges and educational institutions.
It is also a major industrial and engineering centre with a growing density
of IT/ITES and BPO companies. Benefiting from its proximity to Mumbai,
the city is fast emerging as a booming real estate destination due to
enhanced economic activity.
The traditional retail offerings of the city is concentrated in the relatively
older parts, with Laxmi Road being the traditional hub. Apart, Pune has
seen the emergence of a host of high-streets including - FC Road,
JM Road, MG Road, Kalyani Nagar, Koregaon Park and Viman Nagar.
Organised retailing especially in the colonial era was more or
less restricted to the cantonment and its designated shopping street
– MG Road.
However, over the last few decades, two important parallel shopping
spines, i.e. Fergusson College Road and Jangali Maharaj Road, evolved
as shopping stretches in their own right, catering to the city residents as
well as the significant young student population.
The new mall age has been heralded in Pune as well, although its
pace of growth has been relatively slower than Mumbai. Among one of
the first retail-multiplex developments in Pune was a stand-alone fourscreen
Inox Multiplex, which opened in 2000 and set the benchmarks
for the multiplex sector. Post 2003, the first of the new format malls
began appearing, and it is estimated that there are about two dozen
mall developments that would be ready by 2010. Interestingly, some
of the existing mall developments, especially in the downtown area
are located either well within existing High-Street stretches or in close
proximity to them.
The three leading high streets that have been mapped in Pune in this
compilation include – M G Road, Fergusson College Road and Jangali
Maharaj Road.

Known as the Oxford of the east and now an established IT hub, Pune has around 200,000 graduates passing out of its institutes every year.
For quite a few decades, these students have converged for their retail and entertainment needs along a tree-lined street, facing the Fergusson
College, which is known as the Fergusson College Road or FC Road for short.
Allured by numerous eating outlets dotting this street, retail in the area, cashes on every bit of the student footfalls and increasingly of the other
city residents who come to this vibrant retail stretch.
About 25 years ago, Vaishali Restaurant, a legend in its own right, started it all and since then, there has been no looking back. Soon after, other
eateries and complimenting retail came in. In the last five to six years when organised retail entered the street witnessed a new level of retailing.
Keeping up with its young consumer profile, apparel vendors like Levis, Nike, W, and Pepe made their appearance along the street. In addition
to the famous restaurant triad of Vaishali, Roopali and Amarapalli, other chain restaurants like Subway, Barista and Café Coffee Day have also
opened shop along the road.
Change has been a recurring theme in FC Road. Over the years, retail has been steadily organising itself into large commercial blocks along the
road, in buildings such as Millennium Plaza and Lands Square, which range between 40,000 sq ft and 50,000 sq ft each. Interestingly, the major
retail developments in the stretch include the Deccan Cinema along Apte Road adjacent right to FC Road. This is proposed to be redeveloped
into a shopping mall and new format cinema, and proposals for another shopping mall at the junction of FC Road and JM Road would surely add
much more depth to the retail offering for the stretch.

Located in the heart of the city, the colonial retail destination of Mahatma Gandhi Road or MG Road has prospered since its establishment in
1840. This High-Street is an extension of the army cantonment’s main market area.
MG Road has a mixed-use format with retail on the ground and residential on upper floors. However, there are instances of some landmark
stores like Heritage Handicraft Emporium that are still housed in traditional buildings with terracotta-tiled roofs so typical of the city’s vernacular
architecture.
The new stock of swank-glass facade stores is replacing the traditional shop facades, although in most cases, the treatment is only on the facade
as the Cantonment Board regulation encourages refurbishment than redevelopment. This proactive attempt to conserve the heritage and the builtform
of the street has in fact been embraced by contemporary brands, all of whom benefit from the old-world charm and character that the street
imbibes. The fact that MG Road has one of the highest retail densities in the city itself goes a long way in stating its important position in Pune’s
retail canvas.
MG Road’s central location and its high density have been only enhanced by the decision of the Cantonment Board to make it a pedestrianised
plaza on the weekends. On weekends, the street transforms into a proper High-Street, which is gets enhanced by food and other offerings
established along the stretch.
Even though there are two new malls that have come in close proximity to MG Road – SSG Mall and Nucleus Mall – the appeal of MG Road has
remained strong. MG Road is a case in point for retaining built-form antecedents, adapting with contemporary retail and using pedestrianisation to
allow shoppers the kind of freedom that they seldom get in most high streets.

Forking from the Garware Bridge junction, Jangali Maharaj Road or JM Road runs parallel with Mutha River for a while. Its picturesque location
next to the river is underscored by Sambhaji Park, which is a large green and open space that attracts city residents and also runs along most of
the eastern side of the road. JM Road got its name from the Ashram of Sadguru Jangali Maharaj, which is located along this road. The stretch is
also an indication of the retail growth witnessed in Pune over the last decade.
Retail along JM Road presents a diversified bouquet of national and global brands complementary to its home grown retail offerings. Whilst
there are international outlets like Wills Life Style, Allen Solly, Louis Philippe and even a McDonald’s outlet, there is also a fair selection of many
domestic brands such as Kamath, Ruchira and Diya. A major landmark is the Pizza Hut outlet right at the beginning of JM Road and interestingly,
it is also among the first Pizza Hut outlets to be opened in the country.
The past and future of Pune co-exists along JM Road in terms of its residential built form and the retail occupying the same forms. JM Road’s
over-riding hallmark is its popularity as a retail destination within the city, which has only led to growing footfalls over the years. Although traffic has
also increased as a result, JM Road has already geared itself up by having a fully automated multilevel parking system—the first of its kind in the
city. Markets such as JM Road are a testament of retail chain being imbibed within existing urban built forms of Indian cities.
