# Phoenix Mills targets 18 mn sq ft retail space by 2030 2026-08-19T15:14:15+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Phoenix Mills plans to expand its retail footprint from about 11.5 million sq ft to over 18 million sq ft by 2030, driven by strong consumption growth. The company reported over 30 per cent growth in Q1FY27 with consumption of over Rs 4,700 crore, and July saw over 20 per cent growth. The third consecutive quarter of more than 25 per cent consumption growth signals broad-based demand across categories and malls. Key projects in the pipeline include malls in Kolkata, Surat, Chandigarh, Thane and Coimbatore, an expansion wing at Palladium Mumbai and an additional F&B floor in Bengaluru. At Palladium Mumbai, the number of stores is expected to nearly double from 300 to 600. The company is also refreshing mature assets, churning nearly 3 lakh sq ft at Pune and Bengaluru properties to add premium and flagship stores, international brands and new local brands. F&B now targets 15-16 per cent of mall space, while experiential entertainment venues of 20,000, 25,000 sq ft are being integrated. Premiumisation is a key driver, with trading density at older assets rising from around Rs 2,000 per sq ft to over Rs 3,000 per sq ft. Phoenix Mills' consolidated FY26 revenue rose 16 per cent to Rs 4,423 crore, and net profit increased 24 per cent to Rs 1,224 crore. ## Indian Opinion Analysis This expansion targets India's organised retail market, which is still a small fraction of total retail. The company is essentially betting that urban consumption will keep growing at a high single-digit to low double-digit rate for the rest of this decade. The focus on premium brands and F&B reflects a strategy to lift revenue per square foot rather than just build more space. The key number to watch is trading density: if newer malls match the Rs 3,000-plus per sq ft that mature properties now achieve, the 18-million-sq-ft target becomes far more valuable. The next update on Q2FY27 consumption growth will signal whether the current trajectory holds. ## Coverage - retail.economictimes.indiatimes.com Straight business reporting of company announcements and financials with no critical or favourable framing.
