Indian retailer Bharti Enterprises Limited plans to have a total of 150 outlets in India by the end of the current year, up from around 80 now.
That figure includes stores it currently operates in partnership with US giant Wal-Mart, which are expected to increase to 10 by year-end, according to the group's CEO and managing director Rajan Mittal.
The company also aims to double the number of its mid-sized hypermarket outlets from six to 12, with the rest of the growth coming from new suburban ‘Easyday' outlets.
