McDonald's India in an Expansion Mode

McDonald's India

McDonald's India has presence in 30 cities, he said, adding all the proposed restaurants would come up in the cities where the company already has outlets. Delhi and Mumbai are the two biggest markets for the company in terms of sales, while cities like Hyderabad and Bangalore are also fast catching up. McDonald's India plans to open seven new restaurants in Bangalore this year.

The menu in India has absolutely no beef or pork on it, in deference to the local belief that cows are sacred animals. McDonald's ability to adapt to this meat-less culture is extraordinary when you consider the fact that it is best known as the chain that sells billions of hamburgers a year. Just as the company does everywhere it goes, it gives the Indian people what they want and does it better than almost anyone else.

Business for McDonald's India is booming, with 35% sales growth in 2008, and a similar expectation for 2009. According to The Economic Times, McDonald's plans to open around 190 stores by 2015, which would more than double the current store count of 157. It plans to employ over 12,000 people vs. the 5000 employees currently serving the chain around that country. McDonald's India is represented with outlets in 30 different Indian cities, including Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore.
