Transit Retail Takes Off in India
As India embarks on a transformative journey of infrastructure development, the potential for transit retail is set to soar. According to a report by Knight Frank India, the enhancement of key transportation hubs—including airports and railway stations—could unlock nearly US$22 billion in retail opportunities by 2030. This growth is not merely a statistic; it represents a significant shift in the perception and potential of travel spaces.

As more travellers seek convenience and quality experiences, brands are recognising the advantages transit hubs offer them and are hence including these hot spots in their expansion plans.

One brand that has been strategically harnessing the power of these spots is McDonald’s, which embarked on its transit retail journey as early as 2001. With a dominant presence across highways, airports, metro stations and around railway stations and bus terminals McDonald’s is the undisputed leader of transit retail in India. Gracing the cover of IMAGES Retail this issue is Saurabh Kalra, the MD of Westlife Foodworld, which operates McDonald’s restaurants in West and South. Kalra shares the company’s Vision 2027, which prominently features the acceleration of its transit retail journey, this time with a focus on South India.
