The store also features the first Marks & Spencer Lingerie & Beauty department in New Delhi and follows the retailer’s launch of its world-first department at M&S Hill Road in Bandra, Mumbai last month.

The new concept is dedicated to bringing the very best of M&S’s exceptional quality, stylish lingerie and edited beauty offer to customers. The move which will see M&S make up sold in Delhi for the first time is in line with M&S’s strategy to capitalise on growth of the lingerie and beauty markets in India,

"I’ve been an M&S customer for years and love the experience every time I shop at M&S.  Marks & Spencer is a much-loved British brand and its latest winter collections make a strong style statement for the winter and party season ahead. It’s great to have such a large and inspiring store at the heart of New Delhi and I’m sure shoppers will love it.”

Venu Nair, Managing Director of Marks & Spencer Reliance India, said: “Our newly extended flagship at South Extension offers us a special opportunity to bring the very best of Marks & Spencer to customers in Delhi – offering our customers a truly international shopping experience with exciting fashion displays and our widest range of quality, stylish clothing and beauty products in the city.
