India set to clear IKEA retail plan


NEW DELHI: India is on track to approve a bid by Swedish furniture giant IKEA to open its trademark blue-and-yellow stores in the country as it seeks big new markets for its flat-pack products, a minister said.

Last month, the Foreign Investment Promotion Board rejected 15 of IKEA's 30 product lines, underscoring the regulatory hurdles faced by foreign stores hoping to enter the Indian market.
