Abstract The post-pandemic fiscal strategy of the Indian government, including Union Budget 2024–25, placed a renewed emphasis on consumer-driven growth, urban infrastructure, and supply chain digitization. This study investigates the indirect effects of these budgetary provisions and broader fiscal policy on spatial efficiency and operations in India’s organised retail sector.
The study utilizes a mixed-method approach—analyzing secondary financial, real estate, and policy data, alongside a structured primary survey with 60 retail managers across five Indian cities. Core variables include rental cost-to-sales ratio, footfall per square foot, inventory turnover, and in-store space utilization strategies.
The results show that fiscal incentives such as credit-linked capital subsidy schemes, GST input credit expansion, and urban logistics support have led to improved spatial productivity in large-format stores. However, smaller organized outlets report slower adaptation due to capex constraints and compliance overload.
The paper recommends public-private coordination for smart spatial planning, retail policy integration with urban development schemes, and the introduction of retail-specific capital incentives to enhance cost-effective space utilization.
