IKEA expands South Delhi presence with new store in Saket

Saket is accelerating its footprint into the premier South Delhi lifestyle and retail destination, DLF Avenue by opening a new store on July 30, 2026.

Spanning 30,000 sq ft across two levels, the upcoming outlet serves as IKEA's second city-format store in the capital. Ahead of the launch, brand representatives conducted extensive field research across South Delhi neighborhoods to analyze residential layouts, ranging from multi-generational homes to compact builder floors. This localized insight shaped the curation of nearly 3,000 displayed products - including 1,400 items available for immediate takeaway—alongside nine fully realized room settings.

Efficient space with omnichannel access

Saket and DLF Avenue feel like a natural new home for IKEA in Delhi, notes Patrik Antoni, CEO, IKEA India. Capitalizing on a burgeoning regional loyalty base exceeding 300,000 IKEA Family members, the compact format pairs physical space efficiency with omnichannel access to over 6,900 catalog items through digital platforms and localized planning services.

Retail evolution and omnichannel growth

The expansion highlights the broader evolution of organized physical retail across the NCR, where compact urban footprints complement traditional large-format warehouse stores. Industry analysts observe that integrating customer-centric touchpoints with digital ordering frameworks effectively bridges the gap between online convenience and tactile in-store exploration. Alongside home planning consultations, delivery support, and assembly services, the new outlet features an integrated Swedish Café offering regional and international food options. This experiential layer underscores how contemporary retail hubs are successfully merging functional retail with leisure, setting a benchmark for future commercial developments across metropolitan markets.

Expanding via city-format stores and digital commerce

IKEA operates as a globally recognized Swedish home furnishings retailer specializing in functional, design-focused furniture and accessories. The brand targets urban consumers across key international markets through multi-format retail channels. Driven by an ambitious expansion roadmap aiming for 30 stores across India by 2030, the company is backed by robust capital commitments exceeding Rs 21,000 crore. Historically celebrated for its flat-pack innovation, the enterprise continues to deepen its Indian footprint via city-format stores and digital commerce.
