India Retail
Initiation of Coverage:
Ready for Take-off
Attractive, potentially large and profitable industry:
India’s organized chain-store retail industry is at an
inflection point. We estimate it has the potential to
deliver around 32% CAGR over the next 10 years,
taking industry size to US$64 billion in F2015, and

account of its more attractive valuations and higher
growth potential over the next three years. However,
PRIL’s expected higher returns come with
commensurately greater execution risk. Shoppers’
Stop (Rs600, E) is a lower risk company with higher
visibility of earnings growth, but its valuations look rich.
