Infiniti Retail Ltd was incorporated in October 2006 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Sons,[7] with the first Cromā store opening in Juhu, Mumbai, the same month.[8]

In 2008, Infiniti Retail Ltd started its private label consumer electronics and durables brand, also called Croma, in partnership with supplier Woolworths Wholesale.[9] In 2012, Infiniti Retail Ltd acquired the Indian business of Woolworths Wholesale for A$35 million or 200 crore.[10]

In 2021, Tata Sons announced that it would transfer its 100% ownership in Infiniti Retail Ltd (Cromā) to Tata Digital.[11]
