Swedish furniture giant IKEA isn’t just testing the Indian market anymore — it’s going all in. IKEA plans to more than double its India investment to over Rs 21,000 crore by 2030, according to IKEA India CEO Patrik Antoni, as the company doubles down on store expansion, local sourcing, and its omnichannel push.
From Rs 10,500 Crore to Rs 21,000 Crore
Back in 2013, IKEA committed Rs 10,500 crore to enter India’s single-brand retail space. That target has now been fulfilled — including investments in the upcoming Lykli mixed-use developments in Delhi-NCR — and IKEA is ready to double down for the next phase of growth.
IKEA India’s 2030 Roadmap
| Metric | Current | 2030 Target |
|---|---|---|
| Total Investment | ₹10,500 crore | Over ₹21,000 crore |
| Annual Turnover | ~₹2,000 crore | ₹8,000 crore |
| Store Count | Fewer than 10 | ~30 stores |
| Sourcing Volume | Baseline | Double (in 3–4 years) |
| Profitability | Not yet profitable | Targeted within a few years |
Where the Money’s Going
The fresh capital will fuel physical store expansion, mixed-use developments like Lykli, renewable energy projects, sourcing infrastructure, and technology upgrades. IKEA is also aiming to double sourcing volumes from India within the next three to four years, betting on both export demand and rising domestic consumption.
India currently allows 100% FDI in single-brand retail through the automatic route, a policy that’s made expansion easier for global retailers like IKEA.
