Seven years after making its debut in India, Swedish retail giant IKEA is expanding with the launch of online deliveries in Delhi-NCR. This is a significant step in the company’s growth, with plans to partner with Germany-based Rhenus Logistics and use a 1.5 lakh square feet warehouse in Gurugram to fulfil orders.<\/p>\n

The e-commerce service <\/a>is expected to begin before the opening of its physical stores in the region. The Gurugram and Noida stores are under construction.<\/p>\n

Currently, IKEA’s online delivery service is limited to four states – Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Telangana, where it also operates stores in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Navi Mumbai.<\/p>\n

IKEA’s e-commerce segment plays a crucial role in its India strategy, accounting for around 30 per cent of its sales. Last June, IKEA partnered with Rhenus Logistics<\/a> to facilitate its expansion into Delhi-NCR, with online deliveries slated to begin by early 2025.<\/p>\n

Rhenus Logistics, at the time, said<\/a>, “India is currently the world’s fourth-largest furniture market, rising rapidly from tenth place 10 years ago.”<\/p>\n

Delhi NCR, with its growing demand for premium real estate in areas like Gurugram, Noida, and Delhi, is well-positioned for Rhenus India’s supply chain expertise, they said.<\/p>\n

Along with its online expansion, IKEA is also gearing up for its first offline operations in the region. The Gurugram store, expected to be the largest in Delhi-NCR, will feature a massive four lakh square feet retail space and a 1,000-seater restaurant serving a mix of Indian and Swedish cuisines.<\/p>\n

Construction for the Noida store began in September 2024, with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath laying the foundation stone. It is expected to open by 2028.<\/p>\n

In February 2021, IKEA secured 12 acres of land in Noida for Rs 850 crore, paid to the Noida Authority. The plot will host a nine-storey hotel, office towers, and an integrated IKEA store. Lykli Noida will offer a mix of retail, dining, hospitality, office space, entertainment, and cultural experiences aimed at urban dwellers. The development is expected to attract over 25 million visitors annually.<\/p>\n

Mr Adityanath praised the project as a significant employment booster and highlighted the state’s growing role as an investment hub.<\/p>\n
