KFC enters India, Plans for Hyderabad

KFC, one of the world's leading quick service chains, has opened its first outlet in Maharashtra with an entry into Pune. KFC opened doors to its first restaurant in Mariplex, Kalyani Nagar, in Pune on April 10. KFC is part of Yum! Restaurants, the world's largest restaurant company and the parent company of Pizza leader Pizza Hut.

The entry of KFC into Pune is a significant milestone in KFC's plans to extend its presence across the country. Currently KFC is present in India with five restaurants, four in Bangalore and one in Chandigarh. Over the next few months, KFC will enter cities like Kolkata, Hyderabad and other metros. The chain now plans to scale up to 15 restaurants by the end of this year.
