German retailer Metro AG plans to have 50 wholesale stores in the country by 2020. This retailer, which has been operating in India with its cash-and-carry business since 2003, currently has 16 wholesale stores here.
Europe's fourth-biggest retailer has also announced that it wanted India to become one of its "focus expansion countries", alongside Russia, China and Turkey.
Olaf Koch, Chief Executive, Metro AG, in a media interaction, said, "We have seen continuous like-for-like growth recently in India, and plan to expand here.”
