Apple is set to significantly enhance its retail footprint in India by inaugurating two new stores in early September 2025. This expansion underscores the company’s commitment to the Indian market, following the successful launch of its first two stores in Mumbai and Delhi in 2023.
New Store Openings
The upcoming stores are strategically located in major metropolitan areas:
– Apple Hebbal: Situated in Bengaluru’s Phoenix Mall of Asia, this store will open its doors on September 2, 2025, at 1:00 PM local time.

Design and Aesthetic
In celebration of these openings, Apple has introduced a special peacock-themed wallpaper, symbolizing India’s national bird. This design choice reflects the company’s effort to resonate with local culture and aesthetics. The same artwork is being used for both stores, highlighting the close timing of their launches.
Services and Offerings
Both new stores will offer the complete range of Apple products, including iPhones, iPads, Macs, and accessories. Customers can also benefit from specialized services such as Today at Apple sessions, which provide educational workshops on topics like photography, music, art, and coding.
