Apple opens second Mumbai store, in talks with major banks to launch Apple Pay soon in India

Apple has officially opened its sixth retail store in India. The new store is located in Borivali. This new store — Apple Borivali — is Apple’s second retail store in Mumbai. It is situated in Sky City Mall. The other Mumbai store is located in BKC.

At Apple Borivali, customers can explore Apple’s latest devices, including the iPhone 17 series, iPhone Air, Apple Watch Ultra 3, Apple Watch Series 11, and iPad and Mac models, which are powered by the M5 chip. The store has a team of more than 70 staff members to provide expert guidance and personalised setup to customers.

Apple says the store is designed to serve as a one-stop destination for customers — whether they are looking to explore its latest lineup, purchase a new device, or seek support for Apple products they own already. The store also offers a range of services, including Apple trade-in, personal setup for new devices, secure data transfer, and flexible financing options.

For businesses, dedicated business team members are available on site to advise organisations of all sizes on device management and growth tools.

Apple Borivali also showcases Apple’s suite of services, including Apple Music and Apple TV, through dedicated product tables and interactive zones. The Cupertino-based tech giant confirms that the new store operates entirely on renewable energy and is carbon neutral, in line with the company’s global sustainability commitments.

With the launch of Apple Borivali, Apple now has six retail stores across India. The company began its retail journey in the country in 2023 with two back-to-back openings, Apple BKC in Mumbai and Apple Saket in New Delhi. In 2025, Apple further expanded its presence with three more stores: Apple Hebbal in Bengaluru, Apple Koregaon Park in Pune, and Apple Noida in Delhi NCR. A seventh store is also said to be in the works.

Apple Pay coming soon to India

In other news, Apple is said to be in talks with necessary stakeholders that might expedite the launch of Apple Pay in India. As and when it is available, Apple Pay will enter a highly competitive market which is headlined by Google Pay, Paytm and others.

According to a Bloomberg report, the Cupertino tech giant is in discussions with ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, and Axis Bank before a potential rollout of Apple Pay in India. The report hints that the digital payments service, Apple Pay, could go live as soon as mid-2026 provided Apple is able to secure necessary partnerships.

The rollout – as and when it happens – would mark a significant step for Apple as it deepens its investment in India, where smartphone adoption and digital payments are on the rise. When available, Apple Pay is expected to support India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI).
