UK beauty brand Lush to enter India.

British beauty brand Lush, known for fresh handmade cosmetics such as the fizzing bath bomb and solid shampoo bars, is looking to enter Indian market.

The brand applied to the Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion (DIPP) recently under the single brand retail umbrella and is awaiting clearance from the agency.

The brand, which runs 900 stores globally, is looking to open a store in Delhi towards the end of this year. 'Our investment will initially be limited to setting up and running a single shop in Delhi…. If the market responds well, we plan to develop this into a multi-million pound investment as we expand our presence through brick and mortar stores and, if the government allows it, online,' said Rose Byfleet, project manager, Lush India.
