Apparel Group opens Carrefour's second India store at ANSA City Centre, Ghaziabad, spanning 2,000 sq m
Our read
Carrefour's India comeback under Apparel Group is more likely to grow as an NCR cluster first than as a quick nationwide rollout.
For operators
Apparel Group opened Carrefour's second India store, 2,000 sq m at ANSA City Centre in Ghaziabad, so retailers in Ghaziabad and Greater Noida West now compete with two Carrefour stores, with omnichannel retail planned.

What it means for the format
Apparel Group opened Carrefour's second India store in Ghaziabad and plans to expand into key markets nationwide, so it is the party to approach on Carrefour's India rollout, which has no dates for further openings.
Next on the rollout
- A third Carrefour store announced beyond the 2 now open, by the end of FY27, would mean a real rollout is under way and mall landlords gain an anchor tenant.
- Apparel Group disclosures on local sourcing partners and supplier tie-ups
- Launch of Carrefour app ordering or delivery in Delhi NCR
- Any footfall or sales figures shared for the Ghaziabad and Greater Noida West stores
Likely next moves
Our read of what comes next — analysis, not reported by the source.
- Apparel Group is likely to name further Carrefour sites in Delhi NCR first, since both stores sit in that catchment and share supply and marketing.
- Carrefour's India stores will probably widen their locally sourced assortment, with Indian suppliers and private-label tie-ups as the next announcements.
- Expect Apparel Group to link the stores to an omnichannel offer, such as app ordering or home delivery, before expanding into new regions.
- Established hypermarket and supermarket chains in NCR may respond with local promotions or loyalty offers to protect their shoppers.
- Mall and city-centre landlords in other metros are likely to pitch anchor-tenant space to Apparel Group once the two stores show early footfall.
