"The footfalls have drastically decreased. It is only 25-30 per cent of what it used to be earlier. However, multiplexes, and family entertainment centres are still not operational in malls, which have been a great footfall driver. Also, food courts have not been fully operational yet in many malls," said Chandershekhar Kaul, managing director, Beyond Squarefeet Advisory, which runs Capital Mall in Bhopal. On the other hand, Kaul added, "since most customers are now visiting for planned purchases and are serious buyers, the conversion rate has gone up as high as 70-80 per cent."

However, "we are witnessing serious shoppers and spend per person is high," said Inorbit head of Marketing & CorpComm Naviin Ibhrampurkar.
