Retail Sector
Retail real estate is undergoing constant transformation driven by evolving consumer habits and the integration of technology. The Indian retail sector faces unique challenges such as regulatory compliance (e.g. FDI in retail, local states’ shop-and-establishment acts), municipal approvals, and infrastructure constraints. Our experience in this domain enables us to provide strategic legal support to help your retail business stay ahead.
