By the end of 2026, Dunkin' Donuts will likely leave India as Jubilant FoodWorks Limited, which operates Domino's Pizza in India, has chosen to discontinue their partnership with Dunkin'. Unless another business takes over the franchise rights, the chain's locations will close after 15 years in India since opening in 2011.  

Jubilant FoodWorks also confirmed that they do not plan to extend their development rights agreement for Dunkin' once it ends on December 31, 2026. Under the original contract signed with Dunkin' in 2011, Jubilant had the right to open and operate Dunkin' stores across India.

Reason for the closure

The reasons cited for the decision to exit from Dunkin' was their failure to obtain a significant presence in India as well as their continued status as an unprofitable venture which does not materially contribute to overall revenue levels.  

Jubilant has put together a phased approach to take care of their exit, such as potentially closing underperforming stores, selling or transferring the assets of Dunkin', and transferring the franchise agreement to other parties. All activities will occur with consultation from systems owners globally and within the confines of legal obligations and contracts.
