CANTON, Mass., Sept. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Dunkin' Donuts, one of the world's leading baked goods and coffee chains, is continuing its rapid development across India with its master franchisee, Jubilant FoodWorks, where it's on track to meet its previously announced development target of 500 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants over the long-term. Since signing its master franchise agreement with Jubilant FoodWorks in 2011, 36 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants have been opened in 12 cities across India, including its newest location which opened yesterday in the South Indian city of Bangalore.  With this latest restaurant opening, Dunkin' Donuts now has a presence in three of India's most significant urban markets, Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore.

"We are pleased with the development progress we've made across India over the past few years with our master franchisee Jubilant FoodWorks," said John Varughese, Vice President, Dunkin' Brands India, Middle East and Southeast Asia.
