The Phoenix Mills Limited(PML) through its 100% subsidiary Insight Hotels & Leisure Pvt. Ltd. today announced that it has acquired an under-construction retail asset in Indore.

The city has attracted many large MNCs and Indian companies including software majors to establish and expand their presence. With a population of 3.8 million and GDP of USD 14 billion (2011), Indore is a major consumption hub in entire Madhya Pradesh. Located on Agra-Mumbai National Highway, the acquired asset is in close proximity to the developing high growth areas of Indore.

Besides catering to the local micro-market, the retail site will also attract consumers from feeder towns of Ujjain, Dewas, MHOW and Sehore amongst others. Commenting on the acquisition Mr. Shishir Shrivastava, Joint Managing Director, The Phoenix Mills Limited said, "Indore is an under-served market for quality retail and entertainment experiences while the population has a high propensity to spend. Given the fact that Indore does not have large format retail centres and limited options to socialize, Phoenix MarketCity Indore will be a marquee retail destination that Indore deserves. 80% of the civil structure is already complete and we expect the mall to be operational in late FY21." "With acquisitions of two land parcels in Pune and Bengaluru and two brownfield acquisitions in Lucknow and Indore, we will add approx. 4 million sq. ft. of retail space to our portfolio.

We continue to explore investment opportunities and are committed to achieve this objective soon," added Mr. Shrivastava.
