The store occupies 8,240 sq ft on the ground floor of DLF Mall of India. Apple will not pay rent for the first year, but after that, the rent will be charged at ₹263.15 per sq ft. This works out to roughly ₹45 lakh a month, adding up to over ₹5 crore each year. Across the full lease term, the total rent is expected to touch ₹65 crore. Why is the Noida Apple Store special?

Noida attracts people from across the country, UP, Delhi, Bihar, Uttarakhand, Jharkhand and Bengal, many of whom come here for jobs and career opportunities. With a large young workforce employed in IT and other sectors, the city has a vibrant, tech-savvy demographic. Apple aims to tap into this audience by creating a space that helps young consumers experience its products more closely and build a stronger connection with the brand.
