CTOnews.com, March 20 (Xinhua)-- after several delays, Apple will open its first Apple Store retail store in India in Mumbai next month, followed by another in New Delhi soon, according to the Economic Times of India, citing industry executives.

It is reported that Mumbai's Apple Store, located at the Jim World Drive shopping mall and covering an area of 22000 square feet (CTOnews.com Note: about 2043.8 square meters), will become a new landmark similar to Apple Store in Los Angeles, New York and Singapore.

The second, smaller 10000-12000-square-foot Apple Store at the Select CityWalk mall in New Delhi is expected to open between April and June, a few days after the store opens in Mumbai, according to the newspaper's sources. Apple began hiring staff for its stores in January.

"the renovation of both stores has been completed," the source said. "in fact, the renovation of the New Delhi store was completed earlier than the Mumbai store, but as the Mumbai store will become India's flagship Apple Store, it will be the first to open next month."

As previously reported by CTOnews.com, India has become more and more important in the Apple market over the past few years due to the growing demand for Apple products from Indian users. In 2020, Apple opened an online store in India, providing Indian customers with a direct way to buy products directly from Apple officials without going through an authorized senior dealer.
