“Excited to announce the launch of our new store last weekend at Yamuna Expressway (Agra-Delhi stretch),” said Rahul Chaudhary, business development head – North at Starbucks India in a LinkedIn post while sharing images of the new store.
Strategically positioned at the 16 km mark along the Yamuna Expressway, this Starbucks store serves as the final rest stop for travellers journeying from Agra, Vrindavan or Mathura to Noida, Delhi or Haryana. The remainder of the expressway until Delhi is access controlled, which designed only for high-speed vehicular traffic.

Starbucks-branded coffee chain in India is operated by a 50:50 joint-venture between Seattle-based Starbucks Coffee Co. and Tata Consumer Products Ltd.
In 2023, Starbucks marked its entry into 15 new cities across India by launching 71 new stores.
The beverage giant announced its intention to double its workforce, reaching around 8,600 partners from the current 4,300. This expansion plan involves venturing into tier 2 and 3 cities in India, as well as extending services to drive-thrus, airports, and 24-hour store formats to cater to customers’ diverse needs.
The company is currently aiming to operate 1,000 stores in India by 2028 or one new store opening every three days. Read more about it here.
