By Hemant SharmaDid you know that India actually ranks 4th in terms of market size of the retail scene worldwide? Now, that is a fact 100% true, and believe it or not, this industry is expected to exceed $1.5 trillion in just a few years or so, precisely by 2030, which is honestly a little insane when you really consider it for a hot minute. That’s going to be a monumental win for India on the global stage for sure. The reason behind this huge growth is actually simple, you see the demand for almost everything is on the rise, especially in tier 2 and tier 3 cities or parts of the country. Fortune favors the bold, but few bold retail chains or companies are treading through high soaring demand, and today, we are focussing on the Top 10 Biggest Retail Chain Stores In India 2025 as of 2025. So, here we go.
1. Reliance Retail
By this point, it is pretty much cemented that Reliance Retail is THE KING of this particular industry, and it will be like this for a while. How do we know? Well, simple actually! They sell it ALL, you know, like, from food to electronics, literally EVERYTHING! How? Well, that’s done actually through their different but kinda popular sub-brands like Reliance Fresh, Trends, Smart, Digital, and JioMart. Just to give you perspective on things, in just a year, in 2024 alone, they received 1.06 billion visitors! So yes, they ARE big.
2. Trent (Tata Group)
Trent, owned by Tata Group, is another big name, and because Tata Group’s name is connected with this one, it had to make it to the top 3 of this list. Like, by 2025, Tata Group owns Trent which runs Westside, Zudio, Star Bazaar, and Landmark. If you live in even a slightly big city, doesn’t have to be a metro city, you’re likely to find a Westside or Zudio store down there because of how popular they are right now. But why? You should know that it is actually Zudio’s affordable pricing yet kinda trending options that make it a hit, and the same case is with Westside, but it is just a bit different. And 450 stores? Yes, that’s kinda impressive.
3. Avenue Supermarts (DMart)
Next? Well, can you even imagine us listing any other retail chain’s name other than DMart on the 3rd spot of this list? Well, that’s just because it is a super popular place where you can get great deals on a regular basis, so yes, that’s not a one-time thing. Sure enough, we’d say that this is one of the best places to buy groceries and daily essentials at low prices, like, super low actually!
4. Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail
We all know that Aditya Birla Group is a big name like Tata and Reliance, and sure enough, their sub-division for the retail store, which is Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail, had to be popular as well, right? That’s how it is. And you know what, they’re the ones who run brands like Pantaloons, Van Heusen, Allen Solly, and Louis Philippe, right here in India as of 2025. And to put that on a bit of a scale, well, they made ₹13,996 crore in just 2024 on their own! So yes, they’re big too!
5. Titan (Tata Group)
Titan, another Tata brand, leads the market for watches as well as jewelry, and as an Indian customer, you should already know that. Alright, we’ll tell you about brand names, just tell us whether you know these brands or not, okay? So, Tanishq (jewelry), Fastrack (watches), and Titan Eye+ (eyewear)? Any idea? Well, just know that it is actually Titan (Tata Group) behind these brands in the country. Their last year’s revenue of ₹11,257 crore just shows how successful they are at this whole retail scene right here in India. So they are growing! Surely!
6. Future Retail
And yes, next on the list, just know that Future Retail is an old player and owns well-known stores like Big Bazaar, Foodhall, and Central. A little bit of store specifics here, you see, as of 2025, they have over 1,500 stores across 400 cities. Though they had a bumpy road for finances, they have been working on a turnaround, well, kinda!
7. Spencer’s Retail
Alright, coming in at number seven, we’d introduce you to Spencer’s Retail, which isn’t as popular as some other names on this list, but with 120 stores in about 35 cities in the country, they sure are growing. And looking at how well their 37 hypermarkets are doing, they’re likely to do pretty well in the future, like if they go for the expansion, it’ll work great for them.
8. V-Mart Retail
V-Mart may sound like a copy brand, but it is just not! They’re there not for the big city people, nah, they’re there for shoppers in the smaller towns in the country, which is a big gap in itself. They’re kinda trying to fulfill that. And looking at their 450+ stores in 26 states in the country, it seems like they really are up to something.
9. Shoppers Stop
How about a retail chain company that grew with 401.35% (to be precise) in the last year in terms of profits? Yes, we’re talking about Shoppers Stop, a retail brand that has about 90 stores in the country as of 2025, but that number is going to rise super fast in just a few years down the line.
10. Lifestyle International (Landmark Group)
Alrighty, we’re at the end of this list now, but it is time to talk about just one more BIG retail brand, and yes, we’re talking about Lifestyle International, which surely owns some of the most popular stores in India. Like? Well, Lifestyle, Home Centre, Max Fashion, etc. 350+ stores isn’t a big number, but they’re doing their best to grow it even more.
Conclusion
That’s all. These are by far the biggest names in the retail industry of India as of 2025, no two ways about that. So, in the end, for whatever reason you’re looking for such a list, we hope that our today’s post was helpful in some way.
