A day before Apple opens its much-anticipated retail store Apple BKC in Mumbai on April 18, the tech giant on Monday allowed a sneak peek into the massive yet unique-looking store. It is also tipped to be the most sustainable of Apple stores globally.



Apple CEO Tim Cook is expected to inaugurate the store on Tuesday.



Both glass and wood have been used extensively to decorate the store. The building also boasts of a massive glass facade with a wooden tile ceiling.




The opening of the Apple store in Mumbai marks a significant expansion of the company's operations in the country which is becoming increasingly important for its future growth.



Ahead of the store's launch, Tim Cook said Apple is excited to build on its over 25-year history in India. "India has such a beautiful culture and an incredible energy, and we’re excited to build on our long-standing history — supporting our customers, investing in local communities, and working together to build a better future with innovations that serve humanity," he said.


The iPhone maker also announced plans to open its second store in Delhi on April 20, in addition to unveiling the barricade for the outlet named Apple Saket. The company said that its design is inspired by Delhi's many gates, each signifying a new chapter to the city's storied past.
