This includes details of brands and stores that cannot be opened near the said outlets, stated the publication. Both Apple India and Infiniti Retail did not respond to Economic Times’ queries sent to them.

Further, according to a report published by Mint, the three Apple product sellers in India, namely Wistron, Foxconn and Pegatron are set to increase their production in the country by a whopping three times over the next two years.

“They’re looking to scale up the volumes that they make from India…it can rise by more than three times what they aim to make this year,” noted an industry executive.
