Shopping mall area to rise 35% over next 3-4 years: Crisil Ratings

The growth in mall space is spurred by a strong recovery in retail sales in the last financial year

Kolkata: Research firm Crisil Ratings said that shopping mall space in the country is set to increase by 35 per cent over the next three to four years.

The growth in mall space is spurred by a strong recovery in retail sales in the last financial year, it said.

In absolute terms, the organised retail space is likely to rise by 30 to 35 million square feet, which is one-third of the current stock, the research firm said in a report on Wednesday.

The retail recovery is expected to be sustained due to demand resilience across geographies and sectors.

The report said that the area addition will be aided by continued investor interest in malls and new assets. This, along with comfortable balance sheets, will keep the credit risk profiles of mall owners stable.

Crisil Ratings director Anand Kulkarni said, in the report, that malls are “expected to attract investments of Rs 20,000 crore over the next three to four years”.

“The reasons for the sizable addition are two-fold. Firstly, resumption of work on new supply which was stalled during the pandemic. Secondly, robust retail sales at malls and the subsequent strong operating performance of mall owners,” he said.

Revenues of mall owners for this fiscal are estimated to be around 125 per cent over the pre-pandemic levels, the report added.

Eagle Labs launches impirica CBD brand

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Labs has launched impirica, a new brand of CBD intended to eliminate consumer fear, and increase confidence, in trying the exciting new cannabidiol category. Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...
