Swedish furniture retailer Ikea signed an agreement with Telangana to open its first store in Hyderabad, the media reported.
Ikea India Chief Executive Juvencio Maeztu met Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and sought help to get a location near one of the Metro retail stores in the city for their store, Press Trust of India reported, citing a release from the government.
The Telangana government has appointed the Commissioner of Industries as a contact point to ensure necessary clearances for the company's operations.
The world's biggest furniture retailer reportedly said last week it was planning to invest $500 million in India to set up 25 stores in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Bangalore over the next decade.
IKEA was not immediately available for comment.
