Super and Hypermarkets
There are a number of supermakets in India but the retail environment is not as
advanced as in most parts of Europe. Hence, most big retail outlets like Carrefour
etc are not present. In its place, a number of smaller supermarkets abound in
various parts of the city. Some of the more popular supermarkets in the city are
below.
