Paytm planned to open about 50,000 retail outlets across India, according to a February 20, 2015 report.

Why this matters

The resurfaced 2015 outlet plan adds historical context to recent signals on Paytm's Q1 growth and margin gains, brokerage target-price upgrades, and its reported plan for roughly 50,000 retail outlets.

Store-opening is steady, with 1,473 signals recorded in the past 90 days.
