The debut of JWP aligns with India’s growing affluent consumer demographic. A 2023 ‘Wealth Report’ by Knight Frank projects a 58.4% growth in India’s ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWI) with a net worth exceeding $30 million over the next five years, expecting the number to reach 19,119 by 2027. The billionaire count is likely to grow from 161 in 2022 to 195 in 2027.
In recent years, India has witnessed the increasing presence of global luxury brands through fashion events and exclusive collections.
In a related development, Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd. (ABFRL) partnered with Paris-based luxury store Galeries Lafayette last year to introduce luxury department stores and a distinct e-commerce platform in India. The flagship stores in Mumbai and Delhi will bring together more than 200 luxury and designer brands under one roof.
Spanning four levels and a vast 750,000 sq. ft., the Plaza at BKC will host a diverse collection of 66 luxury brands. Its architecture, inspired by the lotus and nature, was brought to life through a collaboration between the US-based international architectural firm TVS and the Reliance team.
With features that range from a contemporary sculpture by Jitish Kallat at the entrance to top-tier restaurants and a gourmet food section, the Jio World Plaza is committed to offering a premier shopping experience.
