Representatives of retailers like Shoppers’ Stop, Walmart India, Lifestyle International, Future Retail, Trent, Reliance Retail, Raheja group and Aditya Birla group have brought to the notice of the Chief Minister of the existing harsh rules in Andhra Pradesh to setup stores in various cities of the state.
The retailers in particular told Chandrababu to ease rules in the Vijayawada-Guntur stretch especially in the Capital region. Under the current policy in the state, if a retailer has to open a store or showroom in a city or town, he has to get several clearances each time he sets up a shop in a particular town or city.
Chandrababu asked the officials to bring in a system where in once a retailer gets approval to set up a store in the state, it should allow the retailer to open multiple outlets with some basic paper work with out going through the cumbersome process every time they open a store.
