Kishore Biyani’s Future Group is planning a foray into the wholesale distribution business, to tap huge opportunities in the sector.

Subhiksha, India's largest supermarket, pharmacy and telecom chain, plans to expand its wings in the east, to cater with growing demand of the zone.

The world's third-largest retail group, the UK-based Tesco PLC has inked a partnership agreement with Trent, the retail arm of the Tata Group, to develop a wholesale cash-and-carry business in India.

Under the deal, Tesco will work with Trent, to develop its Star Bazaar hypermarket, for which it will get a fee for helping to expand Star Bazaar from present 4 stores to 50 hypermarkets over the next five years.
