The first Shopping Mall in India is the Spencer Plaza(Chennai, TN), the modern Mall started operations as early as 1991, when much bigger cities like Mumbai and Delhi did not have a modern Mall.

The name comes from an old Chennai Landmark, the Spencer Store, which was razed to the ground (in a fire accident) after about 150 years of operating in a location on Mount Road.

The Plaza was opened for business in 1991, and it was named after the Spencer book store.
