These expansions underscore Apple's commitment to strengthening its retail presence in India.
Apple began manufacturing iPhones in India in 2017, and last month, government sources confirmed that the company's investment plans for India remain intact. Apple aims to establish a major manufacturing base for its products in the country, further solidifying its position in the Indian market.
The lease at Sky City Mall in Mumbai is a strategic move that aligns with Apple's broader goals of increasing its retail and manufacturing presence in India. This expansion is expected to enhance customer access to Apple products and services, while also contributing to the local economy and job market.
