New retail brands and store launches in India: June 2026

June 2026 in numbers

We tracked 25 launches in total in June 2026, spread across 25 companies. By type, the month split into 9 store openings, 5 new categories, 4 product launches, 4 market entries and 3 new brands. Store openings were the single largest bucket, which tells you where most of the activity sat.

Why did offline expansion dominate June 2026?

Nine of the 25 entries were store openings, and several came with stated network targets. HealthKart expanded its offline retail network to over 250 stores across 111 cities. Frido added 15 new stores across five cities. Ed-a-Mamma opened eight new stores across seven cities. Banana Club opened its 20th store in Tirupati and targets 50 outlets by 2027. Popees Baby Care opened its first North India store in Chandigarh, its 109th outlet globally. Smytten opened a Hyderabad store with its World of MINIS sampling concept, targeting 50 South India outlets by 2027.

New formats sat alongside these openings. TechnoSport launched a new retail format and targets 25 express stores by FY27-end. Livpure launched an experiential Studio retail format and plans 17 outlets across India. Casio opened a flagship G-SHOCK Exclusive Store on Linking Road in Mumbai.

Which categories and cities saw the most activity?

Food and beverage was the clearest cluster. Pepsico launched energy drink Adrenaline Rush priced at Rs 60 in the mass-premium segment. Vadilal and Parle launched a Melody-branded ice cream under a trademark licensing deal. Swiggy launched EatRight Exclusives in Bengaluru with curated healthy menu offerings from restaurant brands. Impresario launched a delivery-only food brand called Goodness To Go in Delhi NCR. Third Wave Coffee entered East India by opening three cafés in Kolkata.

Jewellery and beauty also recurred. GIVA rolled out a jewellery exchange programme across 350 stores nationwide. PMJ Jewels launched the limited edition SuperStar Bracelet 2.0 across its stores and online. Glow by Kirtilals launched Facet Four, a pair of earrings stylable in four ways, across its stores. Myntra Beauty added K-beauty brands Seapuri and Frankly to its portfolio in partnership with kindlife. Apparel Group India opened its first Dolce and Gabbana Beauty store at DLF Mall of India in Delhi-NCR.

On cities, Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Tirupati and Chandigarh all appear in the entries, with several companies naming multi-city or national targets rather than single-store plans.

Notable launches

• Ai-CHA (8 Jun) — Indonesia's Ai-CHA entered India with plans for 500 stores in three years via franchising, the most explicit franchise-led entry in the month.
• Third Wave Coffee (12 Jun) — entered East India by opening three cafés in Kolkata, a regional first for the chain.
• Associated Alcohols & Breweries (4 Jun) — entered Odisha with brands including Nicobar Gin and Hillfort Whisky.
• Fire-Boltt (30 Jun) — entered the smartphone segment with the launch of its boltt brand, a category move for a wearables name.
• Hisense India (9 Jun) — partnered with Sonovision to add its products to Sonovision's electronics outlets, a distribution-led expansion.
• ROSIND (22 Jun) — launched Soyuzprod Vodka in the Indian market.

What it means for retail operators

Three things stand out. First, store counts are being set publicly: 25 express stores by FY27-end, 50 outlets by 2027, 17 outlets, 50 South India outlets by 2027. Operators should expect these targets to shape local competition for space and staff. Second, franchising is being used for scale, as Ai-CHA's plan shows. Third, licensing and partnerships are doing the work of new product lines, as with Vadilal and Parle, and Hisense and Sonovision. For founders, the month suggests that format design and distribution partnerships are being treated as launch events in their own right.
