Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday inaugurated the biggest mall of the LuLu Group International, the Lulu Mall, in Lucknow. He inspected the mall and its key attractions including the mega LuLu Hypermarket and the family entertainment zone Funtura. The Rs 2,000-crore project will generate 5,000 direct and 10,000 indirect jobs, say officials.

With the launch, Lulu Group International now has five malls in the country. The other four are in Kochi, Bengaluru, Thiruvananthapuram, and Thrissur. Yusuffali M.A, chairman of Lulu Group said, “I met chief minister Yogi Adityanath Ji in 2018 and presented the details of the Lulu Lucknow.

The Lulu Group is also coming up with shopping mall projects in Varanasi and Prayagraj, which is showcased during the groundbreaking ceremony held in Lucknow recently, in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, CM Yogi, and defense minister Rajnath Singh.
