IKEA is Sweden based home furnishing brand, it has more than 400 outlets all over the world. Six years after Swedish furniture maker IKEA got FDI green light to set up shop in India, it has opened its first store in Hyderabad. Located at Hyderabad’s tech hub Hitech City, the store is 4,00,000 square feet large and is spread over 13 acres of land. The store remain open from 10 am to 11 pm all the days of the week.

There are 500 viable products promoting feasible life at home and all textiles made from 100% cotton, while all lights are 100% LED.

As part of India’s FDI norms, 20% of products sold should be locally culled, while 1,000 products are contrived in India. The company is escorting its classic IKEA range along with a small percentage of locally admissible products for the Indian market like spice boxes, pressure cookers, tawas, idli makers, rice cooker, colourful sheets and mattresses made with coconut fibre and wool etc. 

IKEA has been sourcing from India for its global stores for more than thirty years. For the price sensitive people of India they have even planed for price sensitivity, items starting at as low as Rs 15, IKEA’s Hyderabad store has 1,000 products priced below Rs 200.
