REASON AND OBSTACLES FOR RELIANCE FRESH

 The Reliance Retail had to face various difficulties before

the launch of Reliance fresh, because of the various
circumstances prevailing in Orissa, West Bengal and UP,
along with the news focusing on the dearth of vegetables
and fruits stocks. The retail business of Reliance then
minimized its exposure in vegetable and fruit business, as
a result established Reliance fresh positioning a pure
super market play focusing on various categories like IT,
consumer durables, home, FMCG and food.

 The retail company of Reliance may not supply the

vegetables and fruits in a few states, the Reliance Fresh
decided to not to race with local wholesalers partly
because of the political reasons as well as its incapability
to maintain a healthy supply chain.
GROWTH
1st reliance fresh store in hyderabad

With over 40 Reliance Fresh stores already launched in

Chennai, Hyderabad and Jaipur, Reliance Retail began its
assault of the National Capital Region market with the
recent opening of nine new stores in Ghaziabad, Noida,
Faridabad and Gurgaon.

The company is targeting to open 100 more Reliance

Fresh stores in New Delhi alone within four months, and
a 1,000 new stores in 35 cities nationwide by the end of
the year with a built-up area of over 4 million sq.ft. An
investment of Rs.8,000 crore is envisaged for the NCR
region alone.
GROWTH …..
 Reliance Fresh stocks fresh fruits and
vegetables, staples, fast moving consumer
goods and dairy products. The stores are
already selling over 1,000 tonnes of fresh
produce daily and also 250 categories of
commodities. The company is approaching
farmers directly for the procurement of
produce, seeking to reduce the 40%
wastage that occurs through the traditional
supply chain.
GROWTH…..
 “These stores, ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 sq
feet, will provide customers with a variety of
fresh fruits, vegetables, staple foods and other
products in a world-class ambience,” said
Gunender Kapur, president, foods business, at
the unveiling ceremony.
                            The strategy is to open one
Reliance Fresh store in a radius of three to four
km to serve 1,000-2,000 families. This means
about 30-40 stores in the major metros. The
air-conditioned stores recorded a combined
sales of Rs 22 lakh on the inaugural day itself.
