Spain's Inditex opens first Zara store in India

Spain's Inditex, Europe's largest clothing retailer, said Monday that it had opened the first store of its flagship Zara brand in India as part of its push into the fast-growing Asian market.
The inauguration of the 1,800-square-metre (19,375 square feet) outlet in a shopping mall in the capital Delhi on Saturday will be followed by the opening of another Zara outlet in Mumbai and another in Delhi within weeks, it said.
“The country has a dozen cities whose populations each exceed three million people and the Indian market promises substantial growth potential for Zara's fashion offering," Inditex said in a statement.
