EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Retail Sector is the largest sector in India after agriculture, accounting for over 10 per cent of the countrys GDP and around 11 per cent of the employment. As an MBA (Retail Management) student I have done my summer internship in retail store Vishal mega mart, Model house, Jalandhar-II. During my training I have done price gap analysis between Vishal mega mart, Reliance fresh & V-Mart on non-food category. After that Consumer perception about Vishal mega mart, Model house, Jalandhar-II. According to analysis I observe that customer of the Vishal mega mart; Jalandhar-II is not fully satisfied with their services. Because of less variety, assortment, poor services & unprofessional employees behavior.
VISHAL MEGA MART, Jalandhar-II is situated little bit outside the main Jalandhar city in,
Basti sheikh, Model House. This store total area is 10000 sqft. Total sales area is 8500 sqft. & 1500 sqft. D.C. (distribution channel) area. So its small format retail outlet. And they are targeting mainly local middle class people. Its daily average sale is near about 80000 to 100000 Rs.

the coming two years. Another latest research shows that more than 100 malls spanning a space of over 30 million sq feet is estimated to open in india between 2009 and 2010 end. Investment in the organized retail market would be around us$ 503.2 million in 2009. This could go further up to us$ 1.26 billion in the next four to five years, at a cagr of 40%. India has emerged as the third most attractive market destination for apparel retailers over the years. In india, apparel is the second largest retail category and will have a 1215% growth rate every year. Apparel, food and grocery is expected to lead the organized retail sector in india. The indian retail market has been witnessing exponential growth with developments taking place not only in major cities and metros but tier-ii and tier-iii cities in india are also on the focus.
GROWTH OF RETAIL IN INDIA:Organized Share of retail sector is expected to increase to 8-9 percent in 2010-11 from 6 percent in 2008.
The Indian retailing market, it is a very fast growing sector. One reason that can be attributed to this rapid entry of the foreign retail giants is that the Western Countries have reached a point of saturation in their retail sector. Another reason as already mentioned earlier is the change in the tastes and preferences or the psychographic of the consumers that is bent in their favour. Although the retail sector in India contributes to about 10% in the GDP, it is the most underdeveloped sector in terms of investments that are made in this sector. The organized sector is growing at 25-30 % per annum. Developed market in US, Taiwan, Malaysia is still a dream to the Indian retail market. They have registered a growth of 50% per annum.

FUTURE OF RETAIL IN INDIA:India Retail Report for the third-quarter of 2010, forecasts that the total retail sales will grow from US$ 353 billion in 2010 to US$ 543.2 billion by 2014. With the expanding middle and upper class consumer base, there will also be opportunities in India's tier II and III cities. The greater availability of personal credit and a growing vehicle population to improve mobility also contribute to a trend towards annual retail sales growth of 11.4 per cent. Mass grocery retail (MGR) sales in India are forecast to undergo enormous growth over the forecast period. BMI further predicts that sales through MGR outlets will increase by 154 per cent to reach US$ 15.29 billion by 2014. This is a consequence of India's dramatic, rapid shift from small independent retailers to large, modern outlets. consumer electronic sales at US$ 29.86 billion in 2010, with over the counter pharmaceutical sales at US$ 3.28 billion. The latter is predicted to be the fastest growing retail sub-sector and BMI forecasts that sales will reach US$ 6.18 billion by 2014, an increase of 88.5 per cent. China and India are predicted to account for almost 91 per cent of regional retail sales in 2010 and by 2014 their share of the regional market is expected to be more than 92 per cent. Growth in regional retail sales for 2010-2014 is estimated by BMI at 72.2 per cent, an annual average of 14 per cent. India should experience the most rapid rate of growth in the region, followed by China. For India, its forecast market share of 13.9 per cent in 2010 is expected to increase to 14.3 per cent by 2014.
The first challenge facing the organized retail sector is the competition from unorganized sector. In retail sector, Automatic approval is not allowed for foreign investment. Taxation, which favors small retail businesses. Developed supply chain and integrated IT management is absent in retail sector. Lack of trained work force. Low skill level for retailing management. Intrinsic complexity of retailing- rapid price changes, threat of product obsolescence and low margins.
Organized retail sector has to pay huge taxes, which is negligible for small retail business.
ORGANIZED RETAIL IN INDIA:The Indian organized retail industry is valued at about $300 billion and is expected to grow to $427 billion in 2010 and $637 billion in 2015. Retail Market India today is the second fastest growing economy of the world after China. Indian economy will grow larger than Britain's by 2022, Japan by 2032 and by 2050 will become the second largest economy of the world after China. Indian market has become the most lucrative market for retail investment in the world. Some of the factors which have contributed to the growth of organized retail in India are: increase in the purchasing power of Indians, rapid urbanization, increase in the number of working women, large number of working young population. Today people look for better quality product at cheap rate, better service, better ambience for shopping and better shopping experience. Organized retail promises to provide all these. The Industry The various formats of organized retail are: Hypermarkets: They store products of multiple brands comprising food items and non-food items.

India FDI Watch also slammed a think-tanks report that says the organized and unorganized sectors can co-exist. Just because organized retail might grow nationwide does not mean that it will grow and coexist with unorganized retail especially given the anti-competitive practices that corporate retailers are already employing.

LIMITATION:Although it would have been nice to conduct a perfect research study, but this study is conducted under certain limitations, which were faced while doing this research. So it is highly recommended to consider these limitations while going through the project study.
The statistical data regarding the city was not available to us on secondary source of data and to generate such data on the primary source was a task, which cannot be achieved in such a short time.
2. LIMITATION OF TIME
The limitation of time was another constraint in the study as the study had to be conducted in few months therefore many aspects have been left unexplored. Locating the target customers is very time consuming. Research period is not just much enough to know fully about the Price strategies & consumers perception about Vishal mega mart, Jalandhar-II.

The respondents did not reply the question with precision as they were busy with their own work or they were not interested in taking part in such a research. Employees sometimes feel hesitated while telling about their view about their marketing strategies.
Other Limitations are:4. Sample size is limited due to the limited period allocated for the survey. 5. Getting accurate responses from the respondents due to their inherent problem is difficult. They may be partial or refuse to cooperate. 6. 7. Respondents may not be interested to give the data. Sometime respondents are not taking interest in such type of surveys therefore there is chance that they might be giving wrong information. 8. The respondents are free from all barriers so he/she can give his/her opinion which may not be true in many occasions. 9. The staff of the Vishal only provides/ communicates the merits of its products. 10. Secondary data is not available of Vishal mega mart, Jalandhar-II.

Here the perception of the people is quite low, because from my consumer behavior survey I have found out that most of respondents think that Vishal Mega Mart is not providing good offers/discounts on FMCG in comparison of Big bazaar, Reliance Fresh, Easyday & V-Mart. Need to improve store layout according to customer facility. People are not so modern in Model house, Basti Chowk, Jalandhar-II.

CONCLUSION:After completing this research I come to know that Vishal Mega mart is ahead of Easy Day Jalandhar-II and Reliance fresh, Jalandhar-II & V-Mart Retail in terms of sales. Only Big Bazaar & Easy Day Jalandhar-I is ahead of Vishal Mega Mart because of its prime Location and higher product range. . But there are few areas where Vishal, Jalandhar-II malls needs amendments and these suggestions are mentioned in these malls. Advertising is an important factor of getting sales promotion.
