Apple to open flagship India store in Mumbai in April; second store to come up in Delhi

Apple will finally open its flagship India retail store in Mumbai next month, after several delays, soon to be followed by the second company-owned store in New Delhi, two industry executives aware of its plans said.

The Mumbai store – coming up over 22,000 square feet in Reliance Industries’ premium Jio World Drive mall – will be a retail landmark, similar to Apple’s outlets in Los Angeles, New York, Beijing, Milan and Singapore, the executives said.

The Delhi store in Select Citywalk mall in Saket will be spread over 10,000 sq ft and that is also lined up for launch in April-June, possibly just a few days after the Mumbai opening, one of them said.
