Talking about the expansion plans, S. Venkataramani, Chairman, Opple Lighting India said, “We have been focused on building a strong footprint in South India as it has the strongest consumption of lighting products in the country. Together, southern and western regions constitute over 60% of the lighting market in India and have a comparatively higher rate of LED adoption.

We are looking at creating a retail footprint across the 15-20 key South & West Indian cities over the next 3 years.”
