India needs more shopping malls – level 2

31-03-2026 15:00

India is becoming a very rich country, and many people want to buy expensive bags and clothes. But there is a big problem: India does not have enough luxury malls. There are only three real luxury malls in the whole country.

Big brands like Dior and Chanel want to open new shops, but there is no space for them. Experts say that India is growing faster than China, but the luxury market is still quite small. New malls will take many years to finish. Because of this, some foreign companies are working with Indian businesses to sell their products.

If India wants to sell more luxury goods, it must build more high-quality places for people to shop.

Difficult words: luxury mall (a very large, high-quality building with many expensive shops), luxury (expensive, beautiful, and high-quality), foreign (coming from a different country, not your own).

What obstacle prevents luxury brands such as Dior and Chanel from opening new shops in India?
