Tech giant Apple is reportedly working with major Indian financial institutions to bring its digital payment platform to one of the world’s largest markets, according to a Bloomberg News report published Thursday.
Sources familiar with the negotiations say the iPhone manufacturer is currently in discussions with three prominent Indian banks – ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, and Axis Bank – along with international card payment networks. The company is targeting a launch timeline of approximately mid-2026 for introducing Apple Pay services to Indian consumers.
Reuters has not been able to independently confirm these reported discussions between Apple and the Indian banking sector.
