Long queues of fans, loud cheers, and tons of selfies marked the opening of Apple's first retail store in India at Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex. Apple opened its first Indian retail store in Mumbai on Tuesday (April 19). The iPhone maker's chief executive Tim Cook has arrived in the country to inaugurate the exclusive store at Bandra Kurla Complex.

Apple claims its Mumbai store is “one of the most energy-efficient” locations in the world and has a dedicated solar energy system and has zero reliance on fossil fuels for the store’s operations. Apple BKC runs on 100% renewable energy. The Apple store is launched at a time when Apple is commemorating 25 years in India.

Apple is aiming to boost sales and manufacturing of iPhones in India in a move analysts say resembles its strategy when it first entered China, now one of the company’s biggest markets. The BKC location will be followed by another Apple store in Delhi's Saket on Thursday.
