As per the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed, the first shopping mall will come up in Chennai by 2024, while the first hypermarket is expected to open by this year-end at the Laxmi Mills compound in Coimbatore.

The MoU was signed by Pooja Kulkarni, managing director and chief executive officer of Tamil Nadu Industrial Guidance and Export Promotion Bureau and Ashraf Ali MA, executive director of the Lulu Group, the company said in a statement.

A high-level delegation from Lulu will soon visit the state to finalise locations and related formalities.

In India, the group already has shopping malls in Kochi, Thrissur, Trivandrum and Bengaluru (the group does not own this one).
