DLF Mall of India is a shopping mall situated in Sector 18, Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India. The mall is spread over 7 floors, and includes 330 brands, 80 kiosks, 5 customized shopping zones, along with 75 food and beverages options and a movie theatre (PVR Cinemas) with 7 screens.[1]
Developed by DLF Limited, the mall was expected to be operational by December 2014, but eventually opened for public in February 2016.[3] Mall of India was planned and designed by the British architectural firm Benoy, with six customized shopping levels including international and Indian fashion, dedicated kids zone, entertainment, international cafes, food court and restaurants with a race track atrium. It is a popular hub for shopping, entertainment and dining.
To add to the Mall of India franchise, DLF planned to build a Mall of India in city of Gurgaon, which would have a capacity space in excess of 4,500,000 sq ft (418,100 m2) than their mall in Noida. However, in November 2008, construction work at the mall, after initial land lease and digging, was put on hold due to overall fall in retail rentals.[4] Thus its current status is held in a stalled state.
