Malls in Nagpur are in general a failure. I think that the Mall Management is very much responsible for this due to their policies.
Couple of days earlier, I had been to The Empress Mall, the mall charged me INR 10/- for parking my vehicle in their premises. So how do they expect more foofalls in the mall. Simply put, less footfalls, less visitors, less business, and mall fails. How does the mall management think that we will pay Rs10/- for just parking our vehicles their ?
While discussing this issue with my friends, I came to know that Eternity Mall also charges Rs 5/- for parking of vehicles.
About some days ago, I read somewhere (I don’t remember if it was in print of paper), that Eternity Mall is facing shortage of footfalls; now I understand the reason for that.
I think that they should make parking FREE for say 4 hours as is in practice in Dubai, UAE in malls. After that, charge them nominal if they are not making any purchases in the mall. If they make purchase of some fixed amount they get an hour extra free and so on.
Otherwise, the future seems blink.
Grow up Malls in Nagpur, else you will fail.

I read all your blogs and I am surprised to know that you have more complains about Nagpur.Be positive—Mr Shabbir
I am positive, that is why I shifted back to India from a well paid job in UAE.
The problem is with management of things, not with management of the city.
