Apple Pay Launches in India After Years of Delay

In September 2026, Apple launched its Apple Pay payment service in India after years of the service being unavailable there. Users can set up Apple Pay on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch and use it at supported locations. Several outlets published guides explaining how to configure the service and where it can be used. Other headlines in the same period covered Google's Fitbit Air launch in India, DoorDash's plan to create 3,000 jobs at a global tech centre in India, and Coca-Cola's reported consideration of a December filing for its India unit's $1 billion IPO.
