More Apple Stores to open in India in the next 3 years

 Globally, Apple is planning on opening more than 50 official stores.

More Apple Stores in India

•  Three new Apple Stores will open in Mumbai and New Delhi very soon, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
• Apple will open its third official store in Mumbai’s Borivali but the launch will reportedly take place in 2025.
• There’s an Apple Store planned for Delhi as well, and this one is said to open in DLF Promenade Mall. The current Apple Store in Delhi is located at Select Citywalk Mall.
• This upcoming Delhi Apple Store is also expected to be the company’s second biggest store in India after Apple BKC. 
• As for the launch timeline, it will be even later than the Mumbai one as the Delhi Apple Store is to open in 2026.
• The following year, Apple will open another store in Mumbai’s Worli area, which will be the fifth store in the country.

In addition to opening more stores in India, Apple is also planning to expand its retail footprint globally. The iPhone maker is planning on opening more than 50 official stores in global markets over the course of the next four years. Apple currently has more than 520 stores in 26 countries.

The reason behind Apple opening more stores across the globe is to build Apple’s brand in growing markets like India, the US, Europe, and other countries. Although Apple’s major revenue is derived through online purchases, offline stores play an important role as customers can buy products on release days, get technical support and more, the report added. 

Recent reports indicated that Apple’s two stores in India have generated billings ranging between Rs 22 to Rs 25 crores already. The Apple BKC store reportedly saw a billing of over 10 crores on the first day. This is apparently nearly Rs 2-3 crores more than what a major local electronic store makes in a month.
