Apple to open larger retail outlets in New Delhi and Mumbai

To begin with, Apple will open one large outlet each in New Delhi and Mumbai to gauge the response to the experiment before adding more stores. The company plans to roll out half a dozen larger outlets — in the range of 5,000 sq ft – this year in India, three each in Delhi, NCR and Mumbai. The large outlets called Flagship Apple Premium Resellers (FAPR) will be about three times larger than its current average size of 1,500 sq ft the iPhone maker currently operates. Signage companies engaging in in-store projects must roll up sleeves to grab such opportunity emerging alongside the unveiling of new Apple stores.
