The attractiveness of India is augmented by its US$350 billion retail market in which 96% market share is held by 12 million family-run shops, making it a virgin territory for organised-retail investment.

The organised sector, which currently accounts for between 2 to 6 % of the total retail market is slated to increase by 15 to 18 % by the year 2011.
