Apple is expanding its retail footprint in India at an impressive pace. On December 11, the company will open its fifth Apple Store in the country, located in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, at the DLF Mall of India, one of India’s largest shopping centers.
This new outlet, named Apple Noida, marks the third Apple Store opening in 2025 alone, demonstrating how aggressively Apple is growing its direct retail presence in India.
What to Expect Inside Apple Noida
Apple Noida follows the familiar design language of Apple’s other mall-based outlets. The interior features:
- Wooden display tables showcasing iPhones, iPads, Macs, and accessories
- Wall modules with the latest devices
- Large interactive screens for demos and product presentations
- Colorful digital wall art and curated decor
- An in-store Apple Pickup point for online orders
- Dedicated business support teams and a Genius Bar for tech help
The store employs over 80 team members, providing personalized setup, support, and consultations for customers.
Apple Noida is also fully aligned with the company’s sustainability goals:
- Runs on 100% renewable energy
- Certified as a carbon-neutral outlet
Exclusive Launch Experiences
To celebrate the opening, Apple has released:
- Apple Noida wallpapers featuring peacock feathers. These wallpapers are the same which were released for the opening of Apple Hebbal in Bengalaru.
- A curated Apple Playlist inspired by the city
These exclusive touches are part of Apple’s effort to localize the experience and connect with the community.
Apple’s Rapid Expansion in India
The Apple Noida store is part of a broader retail expansion strategy in India since the company received permission to open stores under its own control.
Timeline of Apple Store openings in India:
- April 2023: Apple BKC (Mumbai) and Apple Saket (New Delhi)
- September 2025: Apple Hebbal (Bengaluru) and Apple Koregaon Park (Pune)
- December 11, 2025: Apple Noida (Noida, Uttar Pradesh)
This makes Apple Noida the third store to open in 2025 and the fifth overall in India.
Why Noida?
The location in Noida is strategically significant:
- Noida is a major smartphone production hub in India
- Home to manufacturing facilities for companies like Samsung and contract manufacturers like Foxconn and Dixon Technologies
- The proximity to Apple Saket in New Delhi (just 11 miles) indicates Apple is focusing on dense urban areas where customer demand and tech ecosystems overlap
Previously, the closest Apple stores were Apple BKC (Mumbai) and Apple Koregaon Park (Pune), about 100 miles apart. The Noida opening shows Apple is now pursuing more tightly spaced outlets in high-demand regions.
Final Thoughts
Apple Noida may not be a flagship store, but it represents a significant step in the company’s retail growth strategy in India. With over 80 employees, renewable energy operations, and curated launch content, it is designed to provide a premium experience for customers while expanding Apple’s brand presence in the country.
Whether you are a tech enthusiast, a first-time iPhone buyer, or just curious about Apple’s ecosystem, the Noida store will offer hands-on access to the latest devices, support, and experiences.
India’s Apple retail story is moving fast, and Apple Noida is the latest chapter in that journey.
