The Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) industry in India has witnessed exponential growth in the past decade, driven by a young population, increasing disposable income, and a growing preference for branded food outlets. Among the top contenders in the QSR space is Burger King, a globally recognized fast-food chain with a strong footprint in the Indian market. If you're considering entering the food franchise space, the Burger King franchise presents a lucrative opportunity—but how much does it cost, and what returns can you expect?
Let’s break it all down.
About Burger King in India
Founded in 1954 in the U.S., Burger King has over 19, 000 outlets in 100+ countries, making it one of the largest burger chains globally. In India, it entered through a master franchise agreement with Everstone Capital-backed QSR Asia Pvt. Ltd. Since its debut in 2014, Burger King India has rapidly expanded, with over 400 outlets across metro cities and Tier 2 markets.
Initial Investment for a Burger King Franchise in India
Burger King in India does not follow a direct franchising model for individual entrepreneurs like other brands such as Subway or Baskin Robbins. Instead, it operates primarily through its master franchisee, who handles expansion and operations. However, with future scalability and market saturation, Burger King may open up sub-franchise opportunities—especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.

Category Estimated Cost
Franchise Fee ₹35 – ₹50 Lakhs
Setup & Interiors ₹1.5 – ₹2.5 Crores
Equipment & Machinery ₹30 – ₹50 Lakhs
Initial Inventory ₹10 – ₹15 Lakhs
