More McDonald's outlets reopened in Delhi-NCR

Connaught Plaza Restaurants Private Limited (CPRL), operating McDonald's chain of restaurants in northern and eastern India, has re-opened more restaurants in Delhi NCR. This took the total number of McDonald's outlets in the area to 53.

CPRL said in a statement, "Additional restaurants will continue to re-open in the coming days and weeks."

On May 20, CPRL had announced the reopening of 13 restaurants in Delhi NCR. 

CPRL is now wholly-owned by McDonald's after its estranged partner Vikram Bakshi transferred his share in the JV to the US-based firm. After which, the company had temporarily shut down its 160 outlets. 

Last month, McDonald's and its estranged partner Bakshi announced an out-of-court settlement to end their six-year-long dispute over licensing and royalty payment issues.
