Upcoming malls in India slated for launch in 2025–26

A host of new shopping centres are scheduled to open across India between 2025 and 2026, signaling the next phase of growth in the country’s organised retail sector

Bengaluru: With consumers going after experience-driven retail, developers are quick to follow—particularly in India’s burgeoning tier 2 and 3 cities. The spotlight has shifted to compact, neighborhood-centric malls under half a million sq. ft., designed for ‘premium convenience’.

From Lulu Group to Aparna Constructions and DLF Ltd., developers are planting their flags in emerging markets, building retail destinations in every corner of the country—redefining how India shops, eats, and socialises beyond the metros.

According to JLL India, tier 2 and 3 cities are expected to see the addition of nearly 25 million sq. ft. of retail space over the next five years. Meanwhile, India’s top eight tier I cities are on track to welcome nearly 20 premium malls by the end of 2026, contributing approximately 12.3 million sq. ft. of retail space, as per a report by Cushman & Wakefield.
