Bigger India
McDonald’s Has a Legal Problem in Pizza-Loving India
Domino's and Subway have grabbed a bigger share of India's fast-food market.
McDonald’s Corp. has a problem in India and its rivals are loving it.
Even as the world’s largest restaurant chain tries to woo Indian stomachs with such menu items as the McAloo Tikki (a potato and pea patty on a bun), a legal dispute with a key franchisee partner has hampered its expansion. Shares of India’s Domino’s Pizza operator Jubilant Foodworks Ltd. have more than doubled in the past year as the country’s biggest quick-service outlet benefits from a surge in online orders for home pizza delivery.
