New York: Coffee lovers in India may have to wait for two more years to relish the Starbucks brand. The coffee retail chain, which was supposed to enter the Indian market by end of 2007, is revising its plan to open its first store in the country. Starbucks withdrew an application on July 19 to operate single brand retail stores and said it was postponing its India plans without giving a time frame for future plans. The company's COO and international business Head, Martin Coles, however, said that Starbucks now planned to open its stores in India in "the next year or two."
