Bharti Retail is now focusing on expanding in new geographies as the company has set to add stores in the South, but the company is now really a North-based firm with 180 of its 200 supermarket stores present in the northern part of the country. In its portfolio, the company has 15 hypermarkets and close to 200 supermarkets. The supermarket business is two-thirds of our overall business, it is an important format for us. With mega expansion plan, Bharti Retail is still working on the exact numbers of stores across the two formats as it has been planned to open 100 stores in the next three years. Such big move of the company towards store expansion is the strategic development in the retail sector where signage firms can get fresh business opportunity for branding, in-shop designs, displays and related tasks.
