Apple plans to launch a second store in New Delhi in the coming quarters. This move comes after roughly two decades since Apple began selling products and services in India, which has become the second-largest internet market.

In February, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced that the company had achieved another all-time revenue record for the Indian market, with very strong double-digit year-over-year growth.

Apple sold 2 million iPhones in India in Q4 2022, which led to an 18% quarter-on-quarter growth for its flagship device. The India market share of iPhones grew 11% year-on-year to reach 5.5% in 2022.
