Located in the city’s DLF Promenade shopping centre, the new store will house the activewear brand’s range of yoga, pilates, running, training, tennis, golf and athleisurewear.
Lululemon‘s New Delhi store is the latest development in its franchise partnership with Indian ecommerce platform Tata Cliq. To accompany the store opening, the brand will also launch on websites Tata Cliq Luxury and Tata Cliq Fashion.
Founded in Canada in 1998, Lululemon currently operates in more than 30 global markets including China, Macau and Norway.
Through its franchise partnership model, the brand has entered Poland, Greece, Hungary, and Romania so far in 2026.
Sarah Clark, senior vice-president, EMEA at Lululemon, said: “Bringing Lululemon to India is a proud milestone for our teams as we continue to grow our brand around the world.

“To prepare for the opening, we have been working with Tata Cliq to build relationships with the New Delhi community, which has a vibrant and active consumer base that is looking for premium performance products that blend technical innovation with elevated style.”
Gopal Asthana, CEO, Tata Cliq, commented: “Indian consumers are increasingly embracing active lifestyles and are looking for high-performance products that blend functionality and style. We believe they will strongly connect with Lululemon’s product offerings and community-first philosophy. We are gearing up to open the brand’s first store in the coming months, along with its launch on Tata Cliq platforms, and look forward to growing its omnichannel presence in the country.”
Lululemon lowered its full-year guidance after reporting a slowdown in profitability and weaker trading in its Americas business during the first quarter to 3 May 2026.
It posted revenue of $2.47bn (£1.8bn) for the 12-week period, up 4% year on year, while comparable sales rose 1%.
However, net income fell 38% to $195m (£145m), operating income declined 37% to $276.9m (£206m) and gross margin fell 410 basis points to 54.2%.
