Webinar: Retail Industry in a post-COVID world
Watch on-demand
Restructure. Rejuvenate. Regain.
COVID-19 continues to spread in India, although rates of infection growth are slower compared to most western countries. With the country under partial lockdown, restaurants, multiplexes and non-essential retail-like fashion and electronics are the worst hit sub-sectors. E-commerce players are racing to tie-up with neighbourhood grocery stores to meet the pent-up demand for essential goods. Many mall developers have given rent waivers for April and the government has increased liquidity in the economy through various schemes and rate cuts. Retailers are focusing on short-term loss mitigation, restructuring existing deals, revenue share models, store digitisation and redesign. The next three to six months are crucial for the survival and refining of the Indian retail industry.
With recent developments on reduction in restrictions and back-end operations commencement in various cosmopolitan cities, we look at what might be the key areas of focus for landlords and tenants alike, and which key trends will be capitalized upon.
