Apple is expanding rapidly in India with its fifth physical store opening on December 11, 2025, in Noida's DLF Mall of India. The store features a unique peacock-inspired design, symbolizing the company's commitment to localization.
India has become a top global priority for Apple, driven by a booming smartphone market and a growing middle class. The aggressive expansion follows the 2023 opening of its first stores in Mumbai and New Delhi.
The Noida launch follows openings in Bengaluru and Pune earlier in 2025, underscoring a strategy to solidify its presence in key commercial hubs across the nation.
Apple stores function as both powerful revenue generators and crucial touchpoints, offering high-touch experiences that boost brand desirability. The Delhi Saket store is already a top global performer.
The new Noida store is strategically aimed at capturing market share in the dense and fast-growing National Capital Region (NCR), particularly in the premium smartphone and services segments.
Apple's sixth store is planned for Mumbai’s Borivali in 2026. This retail scaling is paralleled by increasing local manufacturing, which improves cost competitiveness and integrates India into the global supply chain.
Apple's accelerated brick-and-mortar presence signifies a deep, long-term strategic commitment. The company is positioning itself as a major defining force in India’s economic and digital future.
