IKEA expects India business to grow 10 pc in FY'25, to expand network
Almhult (Sweden), Aug 20 (PTI) Leading Swedish furniture and home furnishing retailer IKEA expects its India sales to grow by over 10 per cent in the financial year 2025, a top company official said here. IKEA expects its India sales to grow by over 10 per cent in the financial year 2025 IKEA follows the September-August financial year. While speaking with a media delegation, Ingka Group Retail Manager Tolga Öncü said that the company is confident of its expansion in the Indian market, where it plans to open a slew of small-format stores along with its traditional large (Blue Box) stores. Ingka Group operates IKEA stores in 31 countries, including India. IKEA, which gets around 30 per sales through online channels, is seeing an impressive jump in queries. In FY24 IKEA in India reported a widening of its total loss to ₹1,299.4 crore, though its revenue from operations was at ₹1,809.8 crore, up 4.5 per cent. When asked about the growth of IKEA in India, Tolga Öncü said: 'So right now, after many years, seven years of being in India with the retail business, we have finally come to a point where we feel and see that the catch-up is happening for us." He also acknowledged that IKEA's growth was slowed down in India due to the pandemic and other related disruptions. Before that, it was very aggressive in its growth. "We see that we are growing faster (in India) than many other markets where we are," he added. With the learning of the last seven years of retail operations in India, IKEA is trying to be "more relevant" for the many Indians and their everyday life at home. 'India is actually as big as a continent. And of course, we are a growth mindset organisation. So, we are expecting big growth for the coming years in India. We are establishing all the needed resources and focusing on growing IKEA in India, and I believe that this is just the beginning of what we are experiencing now,' he said. Oncu did not comment on the number of stores that IKEA will build in India, but said: 'There is an enormous amount of stores that need to be established in India, in order for us to reach the many Indian families and consumers.' IKEA, which recently opened a city store in Delhi, started retail operations in India in 2018 with its Hyderabad store, followed by Navi Mumbai and Bengaluru. To grow faster and increase its penetration in India, IKEA has changed its approach to expand with several small stores, which could be sized from 2,000 to 5,000 sq feet, besides having traditional large format stores and city stores. "So I see a big potential (in small stores). After many decades, we have learned how to establish, operate, and use our traditional stores. And now we are seeing that where these traditional ones are not able to be… we can now become closer to many people by developing these smaller formats. And of course, it's a combination and you need to see it as a part of an ecosystem,' he added. Öncü also acknowledged that India is a value-conscious market, and to grow beyond the metro market, IKEA needs to offer low-priced items. 'We need to establish a very low-cost operation when it comes to the fulfilment, the logistic part, when it comes to the operation, so that all the costs we can lower, we can also lower the prices of our products to become even more affordable,' he added.

Akshay Gupta secures podium finish at 6-hour Endurance Race at Nurburgring racetrack in Germany
Indian endurance racer and tech entrepreneur Akshay Gupta returned to the podium in the ADAC Nurburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS) with a 2nd place finish in the VT2-F 4WD class at the KW 6h ADAC Ruhr-Pokal-Rennen, the sixth round of the championship. Akshay Gupta secures podium finish at 6-hour Endurance Race at Nurburgring racetrack in Germany Driving the Hyundai i30N for STENLE Marketing Team Mertens Motorsport alongside German Alex Schneider and Belgian Jarno D'Hauw, Gupta delivered a strong comeback performance in one of the world's toughest endurance series, according to a release from Akshay Gupta Media team. The race weekend faced unusual challenges as heavy morning fog forced organizers to shorten qualifying from 90 minutes to just 40, while the six-hour race itself was reduced to 4 hours 30 minutes. Despite the setbacks, the trio carved their way up the order from 6th on the grid in an 11-car class field. Gupta, who was the only Indian on the grid among 309 drivers from 27 nations, took the race start and immediately climbed into podium contention during his first stint. Belgian teammate D'Hauw pushed the car further to 2nd during a double stint, while Schneider battled through health difficulties and thus couldn't do the complete final stint, and Gupta had to step back in the car for a crucial second stint. Schneider then took over during the final three laps, securing 2nd place. "This result is a much-needed turnaround for us this season," said Gupta, as quoted from a release by Akshay Gupta Media team. "After a series of DNFs and setbacks earlier in the year, standing on the podium again is a huge relief and a big step in boosting the team morale. We basically did 28 qualifying laps. The competition in our class keeps getting tougher and tougher, so, it is getting more rewarding to race here. I absolutely enjoyed every minute of this race," he added. The podium marks Gupta's third major endurance podium of 2025, following successes at the Dubai 24 Hours (TCE class) and the Nurburgring 24 Hours (SP3T class) earlier this year with AsBest Racing.
