Apple’s India stores bear fruit, post sales record

New Delhi: Apple has won a new laurel in India – operating the country’s largest electronics retail store by sales.

The iPhone maker’s first two own stores in India have grossed monthly sales of over Rs 22-25 crore each, well over two times what could be the highest revenue for an electronics store in the country during non-Diwali period, according to two industry executives aware of the details.

The Mumbai store opened on April 18 and the New Delhi outlet two days later. Both inaugurals were attended by Apple CEO Tim Cook. The Mumbai store in Jio World Drive at Bandra Kurla Complex is now among the top 10 Apple-owned stores, executives said.
