History

The LuLu International Shopping Mall, Hyderabad (commonly LuLu Mall Hyderabad) is the first LuLu Group mall in Telangana, opened on 27 September 2023 at Kukatpally Housing Board Colony. Its inauguration by Telangana Municipal Administration Minister K. T. Rama Rao and LuLu Group Chairman M. A. Yusuff Ali marked the culmination of a ₹300 crore investment and a two‑year redevelopment of the former Manjeera Mall site into a destination retail and entertainment hub.[3] The project was part of a broader ₹3,500 crore commitment by LuLu Group to develop retail, food‑processing, and export‑oriented facilities in Telangana, following a memorandum of understanding signed during the World Economic Forum in Davos.[4]
